Oh, Yeah!

I forgot to add...Nate has found his feet and boy does he think those things are just the best thing EVER! haha.

Nate's 4 mth checkup

I forgot to post Nate's 4 month stats, so here goes.

He was 14 lbs 15.5 oz, 43%. I don't remember his exact length, but he was 84% for height. He has dropped a little in his percentile for weight, but they didn't mention it so I'm guessing that means there's no issue. He saw the Dr for a fever a couple days before and she was impressed that he'd gained 2.5 lbs in 2 months.

He's rolling a lot now, both directions. He sat up on his own the other day for about 10 seconds, but hasn't done it since, so I guess it was just a fluke. He is sleeping in his crib for the most part. The first stretch of the night he sleeps for about 4 hrs straight but after that he's up every 2 hrs. When he gets up at 4:30, I usually stick him in the bed with me until Logan gets up. He'll sleep til 9 a.m. if Logan doesn't wake him up and I have one of his naps scheduled at the same time Logan's is, so I can take a nap myself or get some stuff done around the house. It's so nice that he's on a schedule now. I hate trying to figure out if he's sleepy, hungry or just in a bad mood and a schedule definitely makes that easier! I figured out today that he'd rather just lay down in his crib and go to sleep on his own. Wow, does that make a difference! At 7, both their bedtimes, I put him in his crib, turned his crib soother thing on and he went right to sleep! Amazing! He did this at nap time today, too! I hope it sticks around because the hour or more fight I had each night to get him to sleep was really starting to get stressful. He's starting to manipulate things with his hands and really likes just staring at his hands trying to figure out how those complicated things work. Most days he'd rather be in the floor rolling around or watching the fan than being held or confined in his bouncy seat. He really is a good, easy baby. I really needed an easy baby to follow up Logan. They always say the second baby is the one that gives you trouble, but mine is the opposite. I guess it's true that God only gives you what you can handle!

SNOW!

Christmas

The past few weeks have been filled with lots of fun Christmas activities! Last weekend we went up to Julie's and spent the weekend with her family. We had a nice relaxing time! Logan must have had a blast because everytime I tell him we're going bye bye he asks if we're going to Gran-Gran's.

This weekend, Santa came to visit the boys. Logan kind of understands the idea of presents this year, so it was fun for all! We decided last minute to go up to Chickamauga for Santa because of the snow in the forecast. Good thing we did because we woke up to lots of snow and it snowed all day, night and into the next day. The total according to the new station was around 6 inches! It was so nice to have a white Christmas and to be snowed in with our family. Laura and Ben flew down from Minnesota, and it was so nice to spend some time with them as well!

Sunday was Mom's 60th birthday party! She never really had a party as a child with her birthday being so close to Christmas, so we wanted to make it extra special for her with no signs of Christmas used for it. I even removed her Christmas table runners. She had a great turnout and seemed to enjoy it even though she insisted the whole last couple weeks to me and Jennifer that it was not necessary and even tried to convince us to just use the leftovers from Christmas for the menu and leftover Christmas cookies/cakes for her cake! As Logan would say, silly mawmaw.

Here's some Santa pictures!

House Hunting

House hunting in the Perry area was successful! We went down Friday night and spent all weekend looking at every single house that met our criteria. We found a house that we are both extremely excited about and our offer was accepted today!

Here's our new house!
