4 Month Check Up

Colton went for his 4 month check up on Thursday.  He is a perfect, healthy boy.  He weighed 17lbs and was 25 1/2 inches long, which means he was 90th percentile for height and weight.  He can now have baby food and he seems to really like it so far.  He has had the cereal, sweet potatoes, carrots and apples.  He still makes funny faces as he is trying new things and getting used to the texture of food, but he eats it all up!  Dr. Beeber says that he is such a good natured baby and he is.  He is so sweet and precious.  He is wanting to sit up so bad and I figure in the next month he will probably figure it out!  He is getting so big and I can't wait for all of his accomplishments in the next couple of months.   We love you baby boy!!!!


Well once again I forget to update the blog, so I will try to remember all of the important details from the last week that our amazing kids have done!!!  Hayden turned in her Yellow site words and got them 100% correct so now she is on the Orange words.  This is so exciting because she is making a rainbow with the words and she is getting really close to being done and starting the raindrop words!   She also turned in her two challenges for the month of October, yes I realize it is the first week but what can I say she is so SMART and proud of herself too!   She recognizes money, capital letters, punctuation marks and sentences, those were the two challenges we did.  She is also doing great with her reading skills with the words that she has already accomplished.  It is truly amazing how fast she learns things and let me just say that she has a fabulous memory! 

Gracie had a great week at school.  She is also learning so much.  The fire truck came to visit the Preschool Tuesday, so she was very excited about it except that it was too LOUD!  She doesn't like any loud noises at all.  She loves to act silly, and she has really started playing pretend.  It is so cute watching her pretend to be a Mommy.   She has mastered the tricycle and boy can she pedal that thing.  It is hilarious watching her zoom around.  She is getting so big.  She goes for her 3 year old check up next week, which should be very interesting. 

Mimi and Kim brought back lots of shrimp to celebrate my birthday yesterday, since they went to the beach for my birthday...just kidding!   Grandmama and Linda brought a cake and everybody brought presents.  It is very important to Hayden that we all celebrate our birthdays with parties.   It was so yummy and the girls were so excited to see everyone, it was a fun night with family watching football.  Thanks everyone for the gifts and party, I love you all very much!!!

This is how we have to grocery shop now!
