4 months!

Brian is 4 months old already! We took him to his check-up yesterday and he is 14lbs 3oz!! He was 9lbs 6oz at his 2 month check up. He is now in the 25-50% for weight, he is 23.5 inches long, which is the 5-10% range, and his head is 41.2cm, which is the 25%. He is growing like a weed! He can sit up good when we are holding him and he is smiling and laughing, which is so fun. We got him the Bumbo chair a few days ago and seems to like it. He makes the funniest faces when I get the camera out. I posted a video of him smiling and laughing at me earlier today, so scroll down and just ignore my singing- he liked it! Oh, and his hair is getting longer, but only on top (he is balding in the back) but it's now looking like an Army buzz cut. And his cowlick right in front is getting more and more out of control, but still cute. :o)

Smiling

Here is a video of Brian today. Just ignore my singing- sounds awful, but he seemed to enjoy it and I wanted to show you all his cute smiles :o) After more than an hour it actually uploaded! Yay! Enjoy!

Buddy

Just some recent cute pictures of Brian. The top ones are him today- he's wearing jeans for the first time- it makes him look so grown up. We are loving being in our house now and things should be all finished by the end of the week. Brian is sitting up better on the couch if we put a pillow in his lap, and he is holding his head up better when we hold him. We are still working on tummy time- he hates it! We got a boppy pillow to prop him up on, and that helps a little, but he still hates being on his tummy. Any tips??

November

Just some cute pictures of the past few days. Brian looked so cute in that outfit with the hat, so I had to take lots of pictures. When I had him sitting on the couch he was smiling and happy, so I quickly got the camera and started to take pictures and he immediately stopped smiling and just stared at the camera and ends up looking scared. The pics of him in his boppy chair in his hat crack us up! His facial expressions are hilarious. And the last picture is of him sleeping/flying in his crib- he has done this a few times before- so funny!

Happy Halloween!

Brian was Yoda for his first Halloween- it was so much fun dressing him up! He could have cared less, but he makes the cutest Yoda. :o) Ben dressed up as Luke Skywalker (hence the cut-off t-shirt), from the scene where Luke carries Yoda on his back, so we got a backpack carrier to put Brian in. He's a little small still for it, so we just put him in for pictures, then carried him the rest of the night. We waited to long and couldn't find Princess Leia buns on Halloween day, so I didn't dress up. We went to my brother's house for his birthday party and went to a few houses trick-or-treating with our nephews and niece, then we went to our Trunk-or-Treat party at church for a little bit. We didn't stay long because it was our first night in our new house (next post), so we had a lot to do to get the house ready. It's going to be so fun when Brian is old enough to appreciate holidays- we've already decided that next year Ben will be Mario, Brian will be Toadstool, and I'll be Princess Peach, from Mario Brothers. :o)

Our House!

We are moved in! It's a disaster area with all of our stuff everywhere, but we are moved in and are loving it. There is still some work that needs to be done on the house, like touching up the paint and putting up the blinds, etc, but we are in and are starting to unpack and get organized. I'm trying to not have a panic attack from the messes everywhere! :o)
