Anderson Has Found His Tongue...


And so has Ally! :)

4 Months Old!!!

I cannot believe my littlest man is really 4 months old! Anderson is so precious. He is such a happy, smiley little guy who loves his family, but loves everyone who will talk to him. He rewards them with huge smiles! Anders is really doing very well...he's still very small, but he is developing right on track & I can't quite believe we are already ready to start cereal! We went for Anders' 4 month well-check today & the doctor mentioned giving him cereal whenever I was ready & I just wanted to blurt out how "NOT READY" I was. I almost couldn't believe myself. With all of my other kids, I was/am ready & excited about helping them develop and grow into the next phase of growing up....but not Anders! I am truly cherishing these times with having him so little (& he's extra little). I think it might be because my chances of having any more are pretty slim, since the hubby is "DONE". :)

Today's Stats @ 4 months:
Weight: 11 lbs. 10 oz. (up from 9 lbs. 4 oz. @ 2 months)
Length: 24 1/2 inches (up from 22 3/4 inches @ 2 months)
We go back in a month for a weight check. Not necessarily to see if he'll catch up to a more "average" weight, but just to see if this is just the trend he will be keeping. The doctor is not at all concerned, especially since his length is in the 50th%. I am so thankful for my healthy little man.

Knoebels!!

A couple weeks ago, our family took a day trip and went to Knoebel's...our first amusement park experience with the kids! We had so much fun! The kids so much fun! This park is great for families as you don't need to pay to enter the park, but pay for the rides...you can buy #'s of tickets or you can purchase a day pass. It is really great & inexpensive (for amusements parks, that is).

We were there right at lunchtime...ate our lunch at the van & then we weren't walking back to the van until 10:15 p.m.! We never imagined the kids would last that long, but they were crying as we left because they wanted to go on more rides! Amazing fun!


Daddy w/His Girls
(one of daddy's favorite Rides, so of course,
it was on of the girls favorites, too!)

Yes, that ornery face is Aidan!

Why did our son pick the pink car?
No idea, but the girls loved the idea & hopped on the back!

Aidan could have lived in the ball pit all day! He LOVED it!
He would hold his arms out and fall backward...it was so funny!
(The smile on Ally's face never went away all day!)

There's a very wet, Daddy & Ally!

Crazy Abby & Her Ginormous Slice of Pizza

And of course, we had to get cotton candy for Ally!

Our sweet Ally!

This was the last picture we took that day...
can't quite believe they are still smiling so big at 10 p.m.
