Justace just keeps getting stronger and stronger. Took him to the doctor this week for his 4 month check up and shots. He is 24.5 inches long and weighs 15.8 lbs which means he's short for his age right now but the exact average weight for his age. Doc said he's perfectly healthy - not underfed or overfed. The nurses couldn't believe how strong he is. It took 3 to hold his legs down to give him the shots. They said his legs are pure muscle which doesn't surprise me with how much kicking he does all the time. Plus we practice standing on my lap a lot too. Started feeding him rice cereal a couple days ago. I try to feed him this twice a day. He's taking to it like a champ. He even opens his mouth for the spoon and everything now. Next week plan on introducing him to peas and squash.
I feel good. Back to my pre-pregnancy self for the most part I think now.
We had a cold front come through yesterday and it's supposed to stay cold and get colder now. The big problem with this is that Justace loves going outside and going for walks in his stroller but we can't be outside that much anymore if it's really cold. So when he starts screaming and nothing else will calm him I have no idea what to do now. Stroller walks have been my savior. They calm him down and make him happy. But I do not know what to do if I can't take him for walks. We only have one car so I can't take him for car rides because Josh has it at work almost all the time.

During the cold months I still sometimes have taken Will outside, I bundle him up really good & put lots of blankets on him, I don't go too far & actually the cold air makes him really sleep & then he's sleeps a ton ;)...During the day sometimes too I let him play independently. I put a bunch of toys out for him & let him go crazy. Times when he's really fussy I let him watch Winnie the Pooh, he loves it & it almost always calms him down. Good luck hope you find plenty to do!
Hey Nicole! I didn't even know yall had a blog. How do I follow you? Those are all really good ideas. I actually need your number if that's ok so I can text you with questions and stuff. You've given Josh a ton of good ideas I've used for Justace. On going outside in the cold...I know we can I'm just not sure how long is too long to be outside when it's really cold. We are used to being out there for like an hour at a time when it's warmer. So like 15 minutes or 30? And I really want to be able to put him on the floor and let him go crazy but right now he still doesn't reach for toys around him yet and he cries when left alone. Should I just leave him anyways and let him cry and he'll get used to it? Not sure...still def learning as I go here. He does love to watch TV and movies. And to be read to. I was just a little worried about letting him watch too much TV though.
