Sour Apple is playing too...

Sour Apple is playing too but with all of the "help" I had at the game and all of the help I didn't have...this was pretty much all I could get! I am sure there will be more to come soon. Surely I can at least get the kid's face next time, I promise it is him though!

Did I mention that Boog is playing basketball?

This has been such a hoot to watch, a bunch of 3 and 4 year olds playing basketball. This was week 2, they have a 20-30 minute practice then a 20 minute game, 4 quarters with 5 minutes in each. The game last night was more like tackle football than basketball! There is one little boy on our team (yay us!) that MUST tackle/knock down every kid he passes for no reason and did I mention that the parents say NOTHING?!? Humm, better not knock my kid down!

Dribbling consists of *running* down the court holding the ball and shooting, well...not so much. There is one kid on our team that makes pretty much every shot, he is the coach's son. My Boog is more interested in breakdancing and chewing on his fingers. Oh well, his time will come. It is fun to watch none the less!

Weekly Wednesday

I thought I would try something different this Wednesday, there were just too many cute pictures of him playing in his exersaucer today. So...I thought I should put a few ok...a lot of them up! He played so well in it this afternoon,Boog even stood in front of him dancing and playing while he was in there. That is why the majority of them have him looking away from me, I guess I am just not as exciting as a 3 year old big brother! Speaking of the saucer, that is where he is now and from what I hear, he does not sound too happy about it. So...I am off, until next time.

Mr. Lil Man's Four Month Well Check

Lil Man had his 4 month well check today, with shots :( poor guy, but he did great. He has been okay'ed to start eating baby food, if we so choose, which as of right now, we do not. We will hold off for a bit longer. He seems to be totally satisfied with what he is getting now and Dr. Mac bascally said he would not fix what is not broken, which I totally agree.



At 4.5 months old, he is still taking quite a few naps, like really good naps. Don't we all wish we could sleep all day?!? He goes to bed between 8:30pm and 10:00pm and gets up between 5:30am and 7:30am. He eats, naps for a bit, wakes up, plays for a few minutes, gets ready for the day, eats, goes down for a good 2ish hour long nap...wakes up, eats....takes another 2ish hour long nap. By that time, it is time to eat again then get the kids from school, guess what he does on the way? You guessed it, nap! Once we get home, he usually stays up for a little while until time to eat again then goes down for another 2ish hour long nap. He stays up for a little while in the evening for a bath and playing with the kids then it is off to bed again. What a life!



So, for the numbers you have been waiting for...



At 4.5 months:

weight 13.7lbs 25%

length 25" 50%

head circ. 17" 75%



The percentages mean that is the percent of kids his age that he is heavier, longer and yes, has a bigger head than...haha.

It's that time again...Weekly Wednesday time that is

As close to a real smile as I could get. Every time I snapped...he smiled. Oh well, he is getting the hang of it. He has been so vocal lately, he really loves to hear the sound of his voice. And he loves the taste of his anyones hands! As of right now, his eyes are still dark gray, keep your fingers crossed they do not change last minute. Boog's eyes were already dark brown way before he was this age! I read that babies eyes change by six months if they are going to so....maybe I will have my little mr gray eyed baby.

Back in the swing of things...

Well, it is about that time again...the dreaded day before going back to school. For us that means getting back into the swing of things, back on a schedule, back to a bedtime routine and back to getting up early! Ugg! We so enjoyed sleeping until we woke up, of course for me, it was more like sleeping until Boog and/or Tutti-Frutti was ready to get up. Still, not having anywhere to be by a certain time was great. Don't get me wrong, schedules are great but boo on waking up early to get kids ready. Anyone who knows my kids, knows that they are bears to wake up! Even though Boog has been really off schedule with everyone being home, it has been nice. Back to getting on with things and napping regularly! So...Hi-Ho, Hi-Ho, It's off to school we go!

But did I mention that also means back to music, basketball practice, band practice and other after school activities? Maybe that is what having a break from was nice! Humm...

And the little one said....ROLLOVER!

Oops, I am a very bad mommy! I forgot to post that Tutti-Frutti is rolling over now from tummy to back. The other night we were playing in the floor and I had just finished putting together one of his Christmas presents, a tummy/activity mat/crawl through gym thingy and I put him down on his tummy to check out the cool toys and he immediately flipped himself over to his back. I had been trying for weeks to get him to try but he HATES laying on his tummy. Must be something about my kids, no one wanted to lay on their tummy. Geez, maybe we hold them too much! ;p Nah, that couldn't be it!

Yay! He is getting to be such a big boy :( makes me want to cry!
