4 Months Olds

And we finally started hanging up pictures in his room.

New canvas above his crib!!!

Our little cuddle bug started blowing bubbles and has really, really good head control. He lifts his head in the carseat and tries to look over at Madeline. In the pictures above, I was saying "Boogity, boogity, boogity" and he thought it was hilarious. He is very ticklish and is in the beginning phases of teething. Started drooling a little and chewing on his hands. He loves to clasp his hands and hold them against his chest under his chin and looks so sweet. He is still the happiest/easy baby. Very laid back and goes with the flow. Very vocal. Only fusses a tiny bit when he is tired or hungry. If i had to name something difficult, it would be that he prefers to be held all the time instead of spending time in his swing, bounce chair, car seat, etc..... I do not mind because I love holding him and I know this only last a very short period. I have gotten very good at doing lots of things one handed. He wakes up around 7 in the morning, will take a short morning nap and a long afternoon nap. Most days, Graham and Madeline take the afternoon nap at the same time, which is wonderful for Mommy! He naps in is crib and sleeps with us at night. If I am eating something while holding him, he stares at the food and will dive towards it as I put the food in my mouth. I think he is wanting a little something more than milk!  He talks a lot and is probably saying "Feed me some real food mom!" Loves bath time!!

He is a chunk! HUGE thighs! His 4 month appointment is in early August and I will post once we get his weight/stats.

He is perfect and we are so smitten with our precious Baby Graham! We Love you sweet boy!

Gold

 Daddy surprised us with Bliss Cupcakes!

 We made cookies to take to our neighbors and made gold medals out of a few.

Madeline and Graham are wearing their cookie gold medals.

 Taking cookie gold medals to Ava, Knox and Brooks.

I cannot believe I did not get a picture of all the kiddos together with thier medals around their necks.

I can see the picture caption now, The Fab Five!

 Knox started posing as soon as the camera came out of the bag!

Such a cutie.

Also, when we walked in Ava started walking right to me!

The boys are walking everywhere but Ava does not care to walk.

She did a great job last night!

Go Ava Go! We are so proud of you!!!

This little light of mine.....

Yesterday, we woke up and decided to start getting ready for the Olympics.

We also started working on our cheers

Go U. S. A, Go U. S. A....

Go Red, white and blue (think this will be a good time for her to learn more about American flag)

I told Madeline our athletes will be competing to be the best in the world.

Madeline grabbed the camera and took a few pictures of us...

Our Olympic torches are ready for the Opening ceremonies tonight....

Madeline told me several times the fire was nice fire and would not hurt us

We will be working on some Olympic goodies for our neighbors to enjoy today.....

Tea party with our brownies.

Madeline woke up pointing to our china cabinet so I pull out some of the china and we had a tea party

Madeline is doing cheers in the photo below....

 

Trying to keep cool at Shake's

I am not sure where Madeline's t-shirt came from but she loves to wear it because it has golf clubs on it. She loves anything golf because she knows her Daddy plays golf quite a bit.

Most days she will ask "Daddy golfing?" 

I'll say "no, he's at work" and her reply is "Daddy's working on the golf course"

Toddler day at Crystal Bridges
