4 Months!

Time continues to fly by (very, very quickly). Our little boy is now four months old and growing bigger each day!

  • He now weighs 14 pounds and 11 ounces (31% tile) and is 25 inches long (55% tile). His head is giant (90% tile), Preston claims it's because he has such a big brain!
  • Although he can flip from his stomach to his back, he has decided it's not that cool and is much more fun for mommy and daddy to flip him over. 
  • He just started rolling from his back to his side - almost all the way over! 
  • He has found his voice and has realized that the only way to be heard over his sister is to be VERY loud. He just kind of screams and giggles and then screams again (over and over and over again!). 
  • Cars are not his favorite thing and likes to voice his displeasure often. 
  • By far, his sister is his favorite person in the entire world! He can instantly go from crying to laughing in about 1 second when he sees his sister. He will constantly stop whatever he is doing and will track her across the room. 
  • He is smiley, smiley, and giggly! (I love it!)
  • He can reach and grab toys and put them in his mouth. He will often try to shove more than one thing in his mouth at a time. 
  • He sleeps through the night on most nights (fabulous) but will still only nap about 40-45 minutes at a time. 
This is where he gets stuck (from his back to his front) - should be soon now.....

I love this little boy!

 
Hmm...which is better.....pacifier or giraffe?! I'll go with both!

Rolling and Reading

Callie rolls ALL over the place!!! One of her favorite places to end up is her bookshelf. Look what I found! As a side note, it looks like one of our cats is finally accepting that Callie is part of the family (or atleast, she isn't going anywhere) and has become very tolerant of her. She lets Callie "pet" her and will even walk up to Callie (which, if you know this cat, is VERY unusual - there are some people who still have never seen her). The other day when I was getting Callie from her nap this was outside her door. Apparently the cat loves Callie enough to bring her toys.

7 Months

This month seemed to have flown by just as quickly as all the others. It's crazy to think she has been part of our family for seven months already. We have had our first real battle (and are still battling) with a never ending cold. She has been a trooper though - although I wish that we could do more to help her. Here's what is new (things have moved very quickly this month): She is up on all fours. She seems to be taking after her cousin Clara, where she can crawl backwards but not yet forwards - which can be very frustrating as the toy she is trying to get to seems to just keep getting farther and farther away. After she learned to get up on all fours, she very quickly learned to go from all fours to sitting. We have yet to find any real foods that she will turn down, although green beans appears to be her favorite so far. When feeding her green beans she will lean forward VERY far and open her mouth as wide as can be just to get the next bite. We can't seem to get

10 Months

So, I am a bit behind. It is officially the end of the school year and I am feeling a bit overwhelmed with learning the new job and the close of the school year. Much different from the classroom. When I took Callie in for her nine month appointment her pediatrician checked her ears (which looked totally fine) then made the comment - I don't mean to jinx you but has Callie had an ear infection yet? To which my response was no (she had a super mild one that they gave us medicine for just because we were getting on a plane to Pitt) - in my mind, my response was "no, but we have had everything else imaginable"! The newest thing: last Friday when Callie got up for the day, her eyes were swollen shut. Turns out she had pink eye which was no fun. Many rough nights later she seems to finally be getting back to her happy go lucky self. Here are the newest things about Callie: She continues to get quicker walking with a push toy. Her teachers love watching her outside at da
