Four Months

(2/7) Yay, Kathy's back!  So glad she's feeling better!  She and the boys were at the house while Dad & I worked.

J took a long afternoon nap and didn't wake up until I had dinner on the table. Then he was up and 'yelling' - he has sure found his voice lately.  Yelling really is the right word too - he's not crying or unhappy, just loud!

(2/8) Crazy-busy day.  Play date with Lisa, Reiley, & Evan at the Children's Museum (so good to catch up!), preschool for C & me, and Nanan time for little boys, and then I ended up running D in to see the doctor.  He somehow got a hair or something so tightly wound around the knuckle of one toe and I couldn't tell if I'd managed to get it all out.  Anyway, he's fine, the toe's fine, and he weighs 12lbs 8.5oz!  Good sized boy!  It was so weird to just take one kid in the car. I kept feeling like I'd forgotten something or someone.

(2/9) Work day for me and the little guys were home with Dad today.  C is very 'in' to babies right now and kept trying to get Dad and I to take care of just two more.  And we're both very much good on babies.

 



(2/10) Work day for Dad & me, and the boys were with Kathy.  The boys are settling into a nice nap schedule.  They're taking two 3-4 hour naps and sleeping great at night.  I like it!

D still loves his thumb. He yells at it when he's super tired and it just will not go in his mouth.  He also rubs his head as he sucks his thumb.  This boy has the self-soothing thing down.  LOL

(2/11) Four months old.  Wow.  Seriously?  How did that happen so fast?!

Hockey day for C and the little boys went to visit Grandma & Granddad.  C had an extra long practice today so I took two bottles each.  They only ended up eating the bigger one and both took short naps. C & I stayed for lunch, and then we all went to the library.  We played there, got some books to bring home, and then went home.  We had a nice, quiet evening.  I took the boys' pictures while the big boy played on the iPod (of which he totally earned its usage today!).

In other news...look what J can do!

(2/12) Heehee!  I went out for a run dressed in bright yellow.  D decided he was *hungry* the minute I walked in, so I picked him up to feed him.  My shirt was so bright he just sat there blinking at me. 

Today was Grandma's birthday so we went over for dinner.  I put the boys in their chairs and they watched for all of 3 minutes before they both passed out.  I would've gotten through the whole dinner without juggling babies, but their older brother was just a touch excited and bonked J's chair and woke him up.  Oh well!

(2/13) Happy pre-Valentine's Day!  Dad & I are going out to dinner tonight to celebrate since we're both working tomorrow.  Granddad is going to get sick of us (he's watching the kiddos tonight).
