Ian's 4 month checkup

Ian is a healthy, little 4 month old. He weighed 15 lbs. 15 oz. (71% percentile). He was 26 inches long (85% percentile). And his head was 42 1/2 cm (56% percentile). He hasn't rolled over yet but that is normal. He loves to eat his hands or have the occasional thumb. And sleeping through the night....well, that hasn't been working out too well. He sleeps from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. and then he is up anywhere from 2 to 4 more times after 1 a.m. So I am extremely sleepy. If anything in this blog doesn't make sense, blame it on the lack of sleep!

Rice Cereal

This is a happy moment!

Not sure what to think!

Mom, you truly are the best!

He started kicking and moving, he was excited!

Stuffed!

The V-toe

We love Ian's feet. They are so cute. He spreads his toes apart to create the v-toe. Yes he has many talents.

Ian freshened up to go to church.

Daddy gets to feed the baby.

Me and my little guy.

Now this is what I call taking a bath with a rubber ducky!

Ian's First

Usually when a baby hits a milestone, it is a exciting moment. Well Ian hit a milestone today. But I am not happy. Today when I went to drop him off to daycare, he cried. He was watching me the whole time. So I stopped and came back to him, which made him stop crying. But as soon as I went to leave again, he cried. Aw! That breaks your heart and I am not having a good day.

Giggles in the Night

My little Ian loves the thrill of bouncing or swinging. It is so much fun for him. He will let out big squeals and smile so big from ear to ear. It is so dang cute! So I was surprised to wake up at 3:30 a.m. to hear those same squeals coming from his bedroom. I keep hearing, "aaAAWWww", "wwwWWWAAAahh". It was so loud and frequent that his giggles woke up Aaron too! We both just laid awake listening and laughing at our little bundle of joy. After about 10 minutes, I decided to go take a peek. When he saw me he gave me a big smile and was kicking his legs. What a doll! I couldn't help myself. I had to pick him up. What a wonderful boy! We are so blessed to have such a fun kid.

Crazy Hair Day

It was crazy hair day at Taylor's school. After failing to create a long haired mohawk with tons of gel and the clothes iron.....Taylor decided to fluff her hair into a huge puff ball. Having naturally curly hair came in handy. You can tell she loved getting her picture taken. This picture was taken after school, her hair looked more tamed by then.

BR vs. Minico

Saturday we went to Pocatello to watch Aaron's brother, Shad play his football game. Well the great thing about this game is that it was my school against Aaron's school. The kids came but they wanted to sit on the Bear River side with their Aunt. But I felt I should sit on the Minico side, so I could chat with Aaron's parents, since we don't get to see them a lot. It was so awkward. I would cheer when Bear River would score. Oh well. I cheered for Shad when he did something good. The first half Minico was winning and Aaron rubbed it in. He would look at me and do the "Loser sign" and what not. So in the second half when Bear River spanked them, I of course used his same sign language. Hah! Victory feels so good. But his family was pretty depressed after their loss, so it ruined my victory. I ran into a few people I know. One was my workout instructor from my old gym. She is teaching at the new Gold's Gym and really wants me to join. And my ex-sister-in-law, Rhi, is working in Logan now, so we are going to try to find time to workout together. We used to go to the gym on Saturdays together before I moved to Logan. I hope I can find time to workout, cause I love it! But with my work schedule and having a family, I might have to get up at 4:30 a.m. to workout. Yikes! And I don't know if I can do THAT!
