Kendall 4 months old

Our sweet Kendall girl is 4 months old!

Here are some highlights from the past month:

*You weigh 13 lbs. 13 ounces (39%)
*You are 24 inches long (27%)

*At your 4 month well check Dr. Pam said that you look great! As usual I didn't have any concerns that I needed her to address. You are a wonderful baby!

*You take about 3-4 naps a day (the last nap is a short one and I usually just carry you in the Baby Ergo while you sleep since you don't like sleeping in your pack n play during this nap). Your naps usually last  about 1-3 hours. If I lay you down at the perfect time (not overtired and usually about 1-1 1/2 hours of being awake) you can usually put yourself to sleep pretty quickly. If I miss the window you cry a lot and I sometimes have to go and bounce you to sleep.

*You go to bed about 7 and wake between 3-5 to nurse and then you go back to sleep.

*You refuse to nurse if it has been sooner than 3 hours since your last feeding and sometimes you don't want to nurse till it has been 4 hours. Maybe you are getting closer to a 4 hour schedule already.

*You always have your fists in your mouth. I think teeth are just around the corner! Your brother already had two bottom teeth by now and your sister had some between her 4th and 5th month.

*You have been sitting in the bumbo seat and you love it. Ava especially loves it because she thinks that is her special time to "play" with you. She usually sets up all your toys around you including some of her own. ;)

*You have been trying so hard to reach for your toys. You have grabbed them a few times and then they immediately go in your mouth.

*No rolling over yet.

*I have heard a giggle or two already but they aren't regular occurences yet.

*You have proven this month that long road trips are not your favorite. :/

 This sweet picture is now one of my favorites. Those ears and that sweet face...I love her to pieces!!!

Connor's 1st day of Pre-School

Today, Connor started PreSchool! This is such a huge milestone for our little guy because this is his 1st day of school, ever! He is going to the same PreSchool that Ava went to and he will be going two days a week. He is in Ms. Analyn and Ms. Lisa's class.

He has always done well when I leave him places like the child care at church, bible study, or the YMCA so I knew he probably wouldn't have a hard time saying goodbye. I talked to him about school and everything he was going to do there and he was excited to go to school like his sissy. When we walked into the classroom he was a little clingy and apprehensive at first but he did fine. After a quick picture with his teachers and a kiss goodbye I walked out the door.

I thought about him all day and kept wondering what he was doing. When I picked him up his teachers said he did great! He didn't nap like I had hoped but his teachers said that he rested and did a good job staying on his nap mat. I am sure once he gets used to the routine of school and what nap time at school is like that he will settle down and eventually nap.

I asked him specific things about his day but he didn't tell me too much. I think he was so tired. He said he did have fun so that is the most important thing. He was very proud of the picture he colored and he wanted Daddy to take it to work to hang up.

I can't wait to see how much he learns this year!
