4 months Old

Another month has passed us by.  Grant you are just the sweetest, easiest baby there ever was.  You are eating 5 6-oz. bottles a day, sleeping through the night, wearing 6 month clothes, size 2 diapers.  You take the paci okay, but you are fine without it too.  You like to chomp on your hands, but not sure if it's a teething sign or just something for you to do.  You will play in the doorway bouncer now, swing and hang out in your bouncy seat.  You HATE tummy time; however I try to make you play a few minutes each day like that.  Tonight you rolled over to your back when I put you down, but never did it again.  You are starting to laugh quite a bit.  You must think mommy is funny.  You really laugh when I put your feet up to your mouth.  You think that is hilarious.  You are so cute and loving still.  You also like to look at yourself in the mirror.  And b/c we keep it real - you spend a whole lot of time in the carseat.  Taking each sister to school, dance, church, etc.  I feel like I am always loading you up in it.   You also had your 1st illness - a nice round of bronchitis with a yucky cough, but you never acted sick one time - if you didn't cough I would have never known anything was different. You will have shots on the 23rd and your check up so we'll record your stats then. 




He's still the smallest baby of the 3 but all relatively the same size.
Stats:  14lbs. 10oz. 50th percentile
           25 inches 50th percentile

and b/c I like to compare with the siblings (from a previous post)... Mallary weighed 14 lbs and 13 oz. I don't believe her height measurement - 26.5 inches...which is well beyond the 95th percentile. She was a little wiggly and mad when they took that measurement so I don't think it's truly accurate. She doesn't appear that long at all. Gracie was 14.15 and 25 and 5/8's at this age.  

Saturday Outing

I have been tired of sitting in the house and wanted to take a little outing.  We headed over to the Bankhead National Forest to have a picnic, fish and "hike" (it is a paved trail so I could push a stroller).  They have  pretty waterfall and a pretty mountainside to walk along.  Now, I did think it was going to be alot cooler, but it turned out to be closer to 90.  It was great in the shade for our picnic and walk, but pretty hot while we were trying to fish so we didn't fish too long. 

3 months old

Sweet Boy, you continue to be just the best little baby.  You have moved up to 6 oz. of formula per feeding and getting oh so close to sleeping through the night.  You will consistently sleep until about 4am, but we've had a few 2 am and 6am wake-ups.  I truly don't mind getting up with you and anything after 5 am I usually stay up for the day anyways.  We are still mixing sensitive and soy so that your tummy doesn't hurt.  It works great.  You are more alert and smile all the time.  You are "talking" all the time and you get so excited and worked up trying to get your sounds.  We are in the stage where we just move you from different device for your entertainment.  I'll be glad when you can play in the exersaucer and doorway bouncer.  You are in 3-6 month sized clothes and Size 2 diapers.  You are loving your bath more all the time - just not the hood from your hooded towels. 

"Last" 1st day of Preschool

Mallary is in the 4 year old class this year so it was officially her last 1st day of preschool today.  Sniffle!  She picked our her rainbow dress and new gold glitter shoes from meme for her special outfit.  She was all smiles when I dropped her off and I'm not even sure if she told me Bye.   She has lots of friends in her class and knew her teachers from lunch bunch.  She was so ready to start back

It's Football Time!

Another football season is upon us in our divided house and time to break out our game day gear.  Grant has some cute Auburn onesies (and a bubble being monogrammed for Bama!) and the girls had their outfits on.  Gracie still is Alan's Auburn fan and Mallary is my Alabama girl.  Here's to a great season and ROLLLLL TIDE! 

ADPi Girls...

had a long overdue sit around and catch up, laugh, gossip, play with babies afternoon at Andi's.  Amy, Niccole, Heather and I met over there to have lunch and visit.  Heather was a surprise-in from DC and I got to meet sweet Ellis for the 1st time.  I took Grant so the girls could meet him too.  It was the best afternoon and ended way too soon!

Bowling Party

Andrew is turning 4 and had a bowling party to celebrate.  The girls loved bowling and did pretty good.  Mallary rolled a few that were so S.L.O.W. that I wondered if they would ever touch a pin.  Andrew loved his cake.  We also got to see our sweet friends the Hills and meet sweet baby Caroline.
