Catchin' Up

This big gal is 4 1/2 months old. 

She's eating cereal, she's trying green beans, she's rolling onto her stomach, she ALWAYS has a smile for you, & she's FINALLY sleeping thru the night...well, not consistently--but at least we know she is capable.

Channing loves to roll to her belly...she's done a complete roll at daycare, but we haven't witnessed

one yet.

 

We took her in for her 4 month checkup on Friday.

Her stats:

Height: 26 1/8 inches long   90-95%

Weight: 15lb 10.4oz   75%

Head Circ.: 16 1/2 inches   75%

She's one healthy gal & we are so lucky.

This girl has done a complete 180 from several months ago.  She's happy ALL of the time (except when she's overly tired).  She's sleeping better & occasionally thru the night (NEVER thought it would happen).  She's eating well & actually enjoying SOY formula (took awhile to get that acid reflux under control). 

Hubs & I are finally adjusting to life with 2 kids.  It wasn't easy at first (especially during tax season), and it still isn't "easy", but we are getting the hang of it & starting to relax a bit.  I've learned not to take things too seriously, and to enjoy the ride. 

(yikes, check out that serious bald spot)

This is what matters most in life:

a loving family & good friends

Easter 2010

Last year we thought Griff was scared of the Easter Bunny....this year he was TERRIFIED!!!!  It is crazy to think that I was just a smidgen pregnant in that picture above & now we have this beautiful little girl!

Channing will be 4 months old this week.  We did away with the swaddling about 4 nights ago.  It was a little rough at first, but she's adjusting well.  The past 2 nights she's gone to sleep without even a whimper.  She's still not sleeping through the night, but it is so nice to not have to worry about the swaddling!

After being traumatized by the bunny at the rec center, we took Griff to the park for the Easter egg hunt.

Griff found is limit of 5.  They wanted things to be fair, so each kid could only "find" 5 eggs.  The ground was covered with eggs, so it really wasn't much of a challenge.  Griffin had a blast nontheless.  He had to open each egg as he found it to see what was inside. 

More candy. 

Great.

He spotted his pal Tate in the park & posed nicely for this photo.  Can't believe how big the boys are getting!

This morning he checked out his Easter basket here at home.  Momma emptied her wallet last night & filled up them eggs with change.  Luckily Griff (and obviously Channing) can't tell the difference between the coins. 

Lots-o-pennies kids.

Nana & Papa B. had their own Easter egg hunt today. 

Cousins Drew & Kati assisted.

Excellent. 

More Candy. 

Nothing better than a 2 year old hopped up on sugar. 

Happy Easter Everyone!
