4 Months Old

Can you believe it?!? Our little bubba is officially 4 months old. I'm sitting here typing and looking at the clock (8:55pm CST) and thinking "Wow, just 4 months ago I was in recovery with our brand new little bubba. And now, he's snoozing away in his 3-6 month pajamas!!" Time flies and creeps all at the same time ~ but mostly time flies!

He has his 4 month appointment on Friday so I'll have more stats on weight/height then! Neither of us are brave enough to step on the scale to see how much he weighs!! So right now, we're just guessing! We both think he'll be somewhere in the 14lb range. Any guesses??

Also, he has started holding little stuffed lovies when falling asleep. I still take them away when he is sound asleep because I fear they will somehow land on his face during the night - but OH MY GOSH soooo cute ....... he just melts our heart!!

Ok, here you go!

This morning before we left for Miss Carrie's house.........


and this one was just about an hour ago...........

He LOVES to jump!!

It is a cold Kansas morning. Ethan and I had a "pajama morning" and just played in the living room for a while. Seriously, my kid LOVES to jump!! This went on for about 10 minutes. I took him out because I have some neurotic thought that it maust be bad for him in some way to stay in there longer. AFter taking him out, he fell asleep for the next 2 hours!!! Guess he wore himself out! He's awake and fed now and we are going to brave the mall for a little shopping! Wish us luck!!

p.s. ~ I'm sorry the video is sideways. I have NO IDEA how to turn it around on YouTube! If you know - please leave me a comment and help me!!! For now, you'll just have to turn your head sideways!!

Getting stronger and stronger on his tummy!

Trick-or-Treat!!



We have to move his jumperoo to a new place in the living room - because he has fallen in love with the TV!!!



Ethan is really starting to enjoy his bathtime!! Last night we put his tub in the bathtub because we had a late dinner and the kitchen was ready for a bath. He loved having the extra water in his tub and splashing around! Lots of bathtime giggles!


And the real reason you even read this blog entry.......

Louisburg Cider Mill

Sunday we went to Louisburg Cider Mill. Neither of us had ever been, and it seemed like a nice way to spend a windy, fall, Kansas day!!!

We had a great time. Ethan got a pumpkin. We got a pumpkin and some cider donuts (yum!!). And of course I tortured my poor baby and took a million pictures of him!

For your enjoyment........

A family photo!!


Waiting in the stroller while Daddy pays for our pumpkin and buys some cider donuts!! Yum!

Wave of Light

It is October 15th ~ Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. Every year I am sad by the number of people I know (i real life and online) who have lost a pregnancy or an infant.

Tonight at 7pm - regardless of your time zone - light a candle for 1 hour and say a prayer for anyone who is missing an angel. We will be holding our little boy a bit tighter tonight and lighting our candle for our babies.
