Hannah - 4 month old stats

Someday she will hate me for this picture, but I just had to take a picture of those thighs! They didn't always look that fat!

I think she was trying to tell me she was all done taking pictures!

Hannah had her 4-month check up this week and she is doing great! She is growing and gaining and the doctor couldn't believe how big she had gotten! Now she's a little roly-poly baby with cheeks and thighs and we wouldn't change a thing!

She is still sleeping through the night. (I think she knows her mama needs her sleep!) She rolls over easily from her tummy to back and is trying to go the other way. I'm not quite ready for that yet! She loves to watch her brothers and smiles and giggles very easily, which they love. Hannah has started to reach for toys and is so happy with herself when she successfully gets a hold of what she wants.

Weight: 12 lbs 8 oz, 24 percentile

Hannah and Adam meet

My tiny baby suddenly looks SO big!

Adam is trying to hold Hannah's hand and she is trying to suck her thumb.

Luke lovin' on the babies.

"Listen up kid, here's how it's gonna work. I'm the boss. Any questions?"

Hannah being a little mommy to her baby cousin.

Hannah and I went to meet my new nephew, Adam, the other night. He's such a cutie. Hannah seemed enormous next to him. It's hard to believe 4 short months ago, she was that tiny! Luke loves both babies, but is a little confused. He seems to think his brother's name is Hannah. I tried and tried to get him to tell me his new brother's name and finally he said, "Baby brover." That'll work for now!

Welcome...

Congratulations Chad, Sondra and Luke!

Birthday Party!

We had a little birthday party for Jonathan and Keith with my family this past Sunday.

New trains from Grandma and Grandpa

Jonathan blowing out the candles on the cake - Boston Creme Pie. So yummy, even if it wasn't very pretty. (I had a little trouble with my frosting.)

Grandpa reading to his grandsons before bed.

Keith's new toy

Keith got a new electric snow shovel from mom and dad for his birthday. I thought it was a gimmick, but it works. It throws the snow about 20 feet in the air. And yes, these pictures were taken from inside the house. It's cold out there! And I have children to look after.

I tried to use the handy new shovel today, and I'll just say that Keith makes it look a lot easier than it really is!

Happy Birthday, Keith!

Keith got a bunch of Red Sox gear for himself and the family from Grammy and Grandpa.

Happy Birthday, honey! We love you!

Happy Birthday to Jonathan

Jonathan has mastered the art of opening presents and so we caught a quick picture before the ripping began...

New shades - last year's were eaten by the lawn mower

A Thomas bridge to go with the tracks he got for Christmas.

A football cupcake cake - thanks to Superbowl weekend and Target!

Love this picture of his concentration!

Nasty green frosting that the boys loved!

We had a quiet family birthday for Jonathan's birthday. I try to let the boys pick their favorite food for their birthday dinner, but Jonathan loves pretty much everything and I couldn't figure out what to make. Finally I asked him if he would like tacos for his dinner, and he said, "Oh, I wuv tacos! Dare my favwit!" So we had tacos and rice for dinner. Tasty and easy! I love this boy!
