Brody is 4 months old!!!

It is hard to believe my baby is already 4 months old!!!! He is getting so big. He weighs 15.4lbs (75%)and is 241/4 inches long (65%) and his head is 42.6 cm (50%). He is starting to laugh, "talk", and roll over. He can hold his bottle some, his pacifier and toys. Dr. Maaytah says the reason he startles so easy is due to being colicky and having an immature nervous system. He will outgrow it though. She said he couldn't be any healthier!!! She said we can either switch his formula to non hypoallergenic or start baby food. We are going to switch formula when we run out. Brody had to get 4 vaccines but handled them very well; he didn't even cry on the first shot. Mrs. Dawna (our babysitter) took wonderful care of him. Brody loves her so much!!! Brody had a white spot on his gums that we thought was a tooth, but it is a small cyst that babies sometimes get on their gums.The symptoms  mimic a tooth, but it isn't. Thank goodness, he is growing up way too fast!!!
So in love with my boys!!! I couldn't be any happier to be a baseball mommy to my lil' sluggers. (Brody is already being trained to love baseball too:)

Crazy busy!!!

Well, I thought I was going to be better at this whole blogging thing; I can't believe it has been almost a month since my last post. This month has been crazy busy. We have been busy with birthdays, tball, school, and taking care of our precious boys. Russell had a big birthday in September; he turned the big 3-0!!! We were super excited that my parents volunteered to keep the boys so we could take a much needed couples trip to go to the Rangers game. When I asked Russ what he was most excited about he quickly replied the Rangers game. I see where I rank:) Tim and Erica went along too since Tim is turning the big 3-0 also. We made it a big birthday weekend. It was so nice to be able to go to dinner with no kids screaming. The best part of the trip was Russell catching Adrian Beltre's foul ball. It was so awesome!!!!

This month Brody started with a new babysitter. He absolutely loves Miss Dawna, and she loves him too. It is hard to believe that Brody is almost 4 months old. He is already getting a tooth too!!! He has found his voice this month and loves to talk. He also has begun to laugh which is the sweetest sound I have ever heard.

I also had Bryon's parent teacher conference at school. I have to brag on my little slugger, he is doing so well in school. She told me he took a pre-kindergarten reading assessment and scored a 17 out of 20. She was really pleased with his score and said he is ready to begin reading. We are going to start reading site words. The only thing she said we need to try to work on is his handwriting. He has two strikes against him because he is left handed and a boy, but we are going to practice practice practice. He actually loves to practice his handwriting.
