Josh has been loving his rice cereal and oatmeal. I'm going to try green beans later today. We'll see how that goes. Here's a cute picture of him after devouring his first bowl of oatmeal.
Since I found out Josh was 12 lbs 15 oz. at 4 months, I pulled out Gabriel's size sheets from when he was a baby to see if Josh is catching up at all. Well, I couldn't find Gabe's 4 month sheet, but I did find his two month sheet and he was 14 1/2 pounds at just 2 months. So Josh still has a ways to go to catch up to Gabe's big baby size!

Josh Loves Cereal!
Korea Here We Come!
Aaron is for sure going to Campy Humphreys, Korea. He is requesting the tour to be accompanied, so if approved, we'll be there for 2-3 years. The army moves us and all our stuff out there. If not approved, it will be unaccompanied, and he'll be there for 1-2 years while I "live" in the states, but I can "visit" him whenever I want. We find out for sure in March whether it will be accompanied, but we've been told that is the standard now and every family we've talked to who lives out there or who has lived out there loves it and says it's the best kept secret of the army. I am really excited to be able to travel a lot and have Aaron work a normal 40 hour work week. To have a break from medstudent/intern/residency life for the first time since being married 5 1/2 years ago. From what I hear, we'll get a pretty decent place to live there so anyone who wants to come visit us should start saving up!

Four Months Old!
Josh is four months old today and is such a happy boy. I love babies this age. He had his doctor appt today and weighed 12 lbs 15 ounces. He was 25th %tile for both weight and height. He is growing so fast. He went from 5th to 25th % in just 2 months. We gave him rice cereal for the first time last night and he loved it! Unlike Gabe who screamed his head off every time we'd try to give it to him. I'm so proud of my baby boy!

Exersaucer Time?
I love it when babies grow into the exersaucer. Well, Josh isn't quite there yet, but he had fun sitting in it. I had to put a blanket around him. And he can't reach the toys yet. But he loves to sit up and look around so this way I don't have to hold him all the time! :) He sits in it while I play the piano and loves it. And let me tell you, it's much easier to play piano without holding Josh.
And Gabriel had fun running around it like it was a racetrack. Good way to burn off some of his energy. And for kicks, the pictures below are of Gabriel this time 2 years ago. He was born an additional 3 weeks gestation so he was a little bigger than Josh is.
Tummy Time
So Josh really hates his Tummy Time. Everyday I put him on his tummy to try and strengthen his neck muscles and every time he starts crying withing 5 seconds. He just lays there and cries. It's really sad. Well, starting Monday, he'd cry and squirm until this happens. Now this happens every time I put him on his tummy. I don't know whether to be excited or to feel bad. Poor guy. And YAY!

Gabriel eating Mashed Potatoes?
It has FOREVER since Gabriel would eat mashed potatoes. Not since he was a baby. But I always give him a little bit on his plate so he can eat them if he wants to. Shockingly, last night, he decided to take a bite. And that led to eating it straight out of the pan and eating it off of the masher like a popsicle. The funny thing is Aaron always licks the masher like a popsicle so when Gabriel did this last night Aaron thought it was the coolest. I wonder if Gabe will eat them the next time I make them...
Visit with Grandpa Stan
We visited Aaron's Grandpa before leaving San Antonio last week. It was a fun visit. Gabriel loves Grandpa Stan! He likes to show off and we always leave with Grandpa thinking Gabriel's the best kid in the world! If only he saw Gabriel at home....
Also, Grandpa told me I remind him of his wife. I thought that was the greatest compliment because he loved his wife so much and thought the world of her. We miss you Grandma Rose! 
As we were leaving, Gabriel put on his Daddy's shoes. How cute! Once we got the correct shoes on, we went out to the truck and Gabriel sat down on the sloped driveway and started to "slide" down. It was super cute too.
