Last week we took Baby David to his 4 month appointment. Everything is going great with him, the Dr. was pleased to see. He was even a trooper through his exam, flashing his famous gummy grin as the Dr. checked him out. He now weighs 15 pounds and is 25 1/2 inches long. He didn't have any problems with the shots, with the exception of the initial prick, he took everything in stride.
This is such a fun age for David. He is sleeping less during the day, but more at night :) He wakes up in such a good mood, talking, laughing and smiling. David is quite the charmer, it is hard not to just pick him up when he's in that mood.
David enjoys attending the playgroups, looking at all the other babies that are mobile encourages him to start moving too. It was at a playgroup that he first rolled over from his tummy onto his back. He's now working on sitting up on his own, although his big head makes his balancing a little difficult. We are also enjoying our daily walks. The weather is quite chilly, but the scenery is incredible, everyday the colors are changing. We're trying to get out everyday, as the snow is coming soon!
lutely adored Danny (3 years old). Danny is such an animated kid, full of energy, David just loved all the excitement. Ever since we have been back, he looks around for all the movement. It's really nice to catch up with old friends, we already miss you!
The past couple of weeks we have had several ups and downs with David. It all started a few days after his 4 month appointment, the first tooth reared it's painful head. David gets really fussy and upset, which is not like him, and only wants to be held. After 30 minutes or so, the tylenol fairy pays him a visit and this helps calm him down. It's very hard to see him so upset, but more often he is doing well. He enjoys smiling and laughing with us. Baby David keeps our lives interesting. 
! The weather is crisp, cold, and windy. Baby David and I bundle up for our walks and enjoy crunching all the leaves. I have never seen so many shades of orange in my whole life. We are taking advantage of this cool weather, as a neighbor has informed me today that snow is right around the corner. I am also including a picture of the campus at this time of year. If you could ever see it for yourself, it's a must see, come visit us!
e, shopped in Hanover and best of all ate every chance we had. Among the highlights was a Toy and Train Museum in Quechee, Vermont as well as wine and cheese tasting. Andrew joined us on Friday night (he was at the Univ of Michigan for a couple of days of meetings) and we all enjoyed catching up. 
Since our move to New Hampshire, we have been missing sports. We do the best keeping track of our favorite teams from L.A. (still mourning the Dodgers) but we are very excited about the start of the football season here at Dartmouth. We were so excited, we bought season tickets. The first game was on Saturday, Sept. 30th against the Univ of New Hampshire. Dartmouth lost, it was rainy and cold, but we all had a wonderful time. The stadium is nice and old looking, just like everything else here. We are looking forward to the rest of the season. I also included a picture of the Dartmouth Green, the center of campus, with another beautiful old building with a clock tower.
