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.

Mothers Day Weekend

We had amazing weather for Mother's Day weekend and tried to enjoy every minute of the summer. On Sunday, Callie and I ran the color run. A 5k through Seattle which involved a lot of dust and color. It was a lot of fun and  I was super proud of her and how she pushed herself. Before the race. Shirts are still white and hair is still normal color. We ran with one of Callie's good friends and her mom.  Bubbles! That was a highlight for Callie, she loved running through the bubbles.  Done! Color and dust everywhere! We spent Saturday with Katy and Dennis and explored Renton and a local beach and park. Callie and Katy The gang! Saturday was so beautiful that we actually went home and the kids ran in the sprinklers and played in the bathing suits all day. 

Complete and Total Exhaustion

So, Callie has come down with a case of croup (good ol'daycare) and we had a VERY rough night on Sunday. She was up every 20 mins - hour coughing. Luckily Preston was home and we took turns with her - eventually I ended up sleeping with her in the chair (although she still woke up coughing every hour) because I didn't have to work on Monday. Needless to say, we were not a very exciting family Monday night. We were all in bed by 8 and Callie continued to get up a bit but not nearly as much as the night before. The last time I went in to see her was about 11 - the next thing I knew it was time for me to get up for work. When Preston got up, I made the comment "she slept better than on Sunday" and he just looked at me and laughed. Apparently, she got up a bunch in the middle in the night and I was just too exhausted to realize it. He said I was so out of it that one time I told him it was the rain, not Callie crying.....I'm going to choose my version of the story and...
