My baby is 4 months!

I can not believe Alex is 4 months old. Where has the time gone? He is such a wonderful baby. He is just mellow and chill. He loves to smile and it doesn't take much to get him to. He is starting to think that Isaac is pretty funny. He smiles and giggles when Isaac talks to him. He is a great sleeper. He only takes a short nap in the morning, but takes a 2 1/2-3 hour nap in the afternoon. He goes to bed about 6:45pm, wakes up at 10pm to eat and then he is out until 7:30am. He loves his hands. He can't stop staring at them and putting them in his mouth. He is learning to grab onto things. The funniest is when he got a fist full of his own hair and started screaming, but still didn't let go. I took him to his 4 month check up and his doctor described him as perfect. He is meeting all of his mile stones and his head is looking a lot better from physical therapy. He weights 15lbs. 8oz.(67%) and is 26 inches long(85%). So he is a big boy just like his brother.

Pioneer Day

Trav's family goes every year to the Days of '47 parade. This year was no exception. Trav and his step dad Boyd got to the parade route at 6am to stake out a spot. Parades are not my thing but I always have a good time people watching and stuffing my face with junk food in the wee hours of the morning.
Isaac eating licorice at 7:30am Alex chillin' again.
I thought Alex might not like the parade. He has recently become very scared of loud noises. It didn't faze him a bit. He was calm the whole time and even took a cat nap.
The parade looks intense doesn't it?
Mimaw and Grumpy with all the grandkids.
That night I retired early and put Alex to bed. Trav and Isaac went over for Grumpy's firework extravaganza. Grumpy loves to do fireworks and Trav said a good time was had by all.






A Day with the Cousins

This was such a fun day. All of Isaac & Alex's cousins live out of state so we rarely get to see them, let alone have them all together. Trav's sister Megan was here from Oklahoma for three weeks with her two kids Hannah and Milo while her husband Jeff was studying to take the bar exam. Aimee, Trav's stepsister came from Nevada with her boys, Dekota and Bryson, to visit while Meg was here. Trav's Mom took a day off of work and we all spent the day at her house. Alex was his usually chill self, just lounging with Mimaw.

The kids had a great time with the slip and slide.(Thanks to Aunt Harmony)


This is Dekota, he is almost 7.

This is Bryson, he is almost 5. Of course Isaac, 4 next month(I can't believe it)
And little Hannah bug, she is 3 1/2
We had a very kid friendly lunch prepared by Mimaw and Dekota.



Mmmmm, yummy.
Then it was quiet time. Anyone who knows my son, knows he only lasts in front of the television for about 20-30min. So he opted to go in the other room and watch the clock until quiet time was over.(Clock, go figure!)
He finally got bored and decided to join the rest of them for the movie. He looks totally into it dosen't he.

An Evening at the Park

On Sat. we went with Trav's Mom, Stepdad Boyd, Sister Megan and her two kids Hannah and Milo to the park. It was hot that day, but we had a great time. Isaac of course found the water fountain and was soaking wet by the time we left.



I can't believe this picture of Alex. He looks so old to me. It's crazy to me that he will be 4 months old on Fri.

The Childrens Museum

Today we went with Travis' sister Megan and her 2 kids, his cousin Kendall and her 2 kids, and his other cousin London and her 3 kids to the Children's Museum . Isaac had such a great time. I had a pass last year and he had fun, but I think he might have been a bit too young. He just seemed to enjoy it more today. Isaac & Alex, Sonny & Mona(Kendall's) Adam(London's)Hannah & Milo(Megan's) & Afton & Rachel(London's) It's so fun to get all these kids together. We have all had our children so close in age.
The kids went to a class and they were learning about corn. Isaac didn't care much. He just wanted to play in the sand(below)
He loved the water.

Yes, my son still loves fans. So he thought this wind tunnel was the best.

Gardner Village

This week for play group, we went to Gardener Village. I had never been to their petting zoo before. Isaac loved it because he could walk around with the animals. The highlight was definately riding the horse.
