First teeth!

Yup! 4 months old and lil Amadeus has popped up his 2 bottom teeth already!  His first one came in 21st November and the second one followed 3 days later on the 24th!  He's also happily rolling over regularly from back to belly and then scooting himself forward. Time for us to start keeping the floors a bit cleaner!  Not easy with two bigger siblings. Now and then he rolls from his belly to his back, but fortunately, he's not discovered how to combine those rolls so that he rolls all over the place ... yet!  Every now and then he pushes himself almost all the way up onto all fours and then gets so excited he gets down back onto his belly and kicks and waves his arms super excitedly! He's also started "talking"  like "na na na na" It's rather cute and serious most the time.

November 12, 2008

So yesterday we went to the chiropractor in the morning and now our backs feel good. Then we went to the BVC (where you go for well-baby/child checks in between the controls with the pediatrician and did a quick measuring of Amadeus who is now 4 months old!  He was 65 cm (25.6 inches) and 6.85 kg (15.10 lbs).

Amadeus has rolled from belly to back. He loves to stand and jump and our arms are getting tired. So we brought out the Hop n Pop that Freja used as a baby and he is enjoying standing and jumping in that for shorter periods of time. He can not only grab toys but switch hands back and forth, laughs up a storm, loves it when his brother talks with him. He is still the calmest baby and he attracts a lot of attention from passer-bys who think he is the most adorable baby ever.

Freja totally digs cars, especially the ones from teh Pixar film "Cars".  She amazingly enough still takes naps in the afternoon almost every day. She loves going outside for walks and takes her toys on walks in her doll stroller.  She finds dolls that look life like scary and does not want any.  Jumping from high places and saying "BIG JUMP MAMMA!" is one of her favorite past times.

Vidar got a new Wii game called Super Smash Bros Brawl and he's enjoying that one. He loves Amadeus and has told him so several times now. He wants Amadeus to be in the room with him a lot and often tells him to look at what Vidar is doing. I find it sweet.

I'm really late on posting this.    On Friday, October 3rd, we went to the pediatrician for the 3 month old, 3 year old, and 5 year old well-child check up for our children.

Amadeus was 3 months old and measured 62 cm (24.4 inches) and 6 kg (13.2 lbs). His reflexes, heart, lung, mouth, and ears all looked great for his age.  At that point he had rolled over from his back onto his belly, grabbing toys and bringing them to his mouth, and getting a bit better at belly time for short amounts of time.

Freja and Vidar also had great heart, lung, mouth and ears.  Vidar got to help the doctor check out Amadeus which was fun. :)
