Haven’t done a blog post in a while so I thought I would just post some pictures of the kids over the last couple months.
Eisley LOVES to play in the rain. Here’s a short clip I took during the last downpour.
Eisley has been talking about making a pie for about a week. I don’t know if she heard it on Sesame Street or picked it up in pre-school, but over the last week, whenever we asked her what she wanted to do, she would reply with “make a pie”.
So, I promised her that we would make a pie this weekend and a pie we made. Apple, of course.
On Saturday, we went to Bryson’s five-year birthday part at Main Event in north Austin. There was bowling, pizza and video games.
Dearest Everett,
Happy four months to the sweetest and, hands down without a doubt, most smiley boy there ever was. As seems to be the norm for your parents, we simply cannot believe that you have already been in the world for four whole months. You were so small when you arrived and now you are growing at such a rapid pace. We think you change and grow on an almost daily basis, but one thing stays the same….those cheeks. Those wide landing pads on either side of your face seem to constantly attract kisses. They are the best.
You surprised us with your ability to roll from your tummy to back (the cheeks might have something to do with that!) and now we have seen you roll from your back to your tummy a couple of times as well. Physically you are very strong and have taken quite a liking to standing up. We have introduced you to the exersaucer and, when propped just right, you are content for quite awhile.
You are a proponent of sleep and take the task very seriously. You began sleeping in your crib a few weeks ago and seem to sleep quite well in your room, as in all-night-long well. That kind of sleep makes for some very happy parents. However, it was incredibly hard to pack up your bassinet when you proved to us you could manage on your own. Mommy feels a bit lost without having you right next to me during the night, not being able to reach out and feel the rise and fall of your little chest whenever I want to make sure you are okay.
Ever the good eater, you manage to still put away the milk on a regular basis and it doesn’t appear as if you miss too many meals. At your recent four-month checkup you weighed in at 15 pounds 5 ounces which places you in the 75th percentile for weight. Mommy and Daddy are contemplating starting you on rice cereal a little sooner than your sister just to keep up with your penchant for consumption.
Speaking of your sister, your are quite smitten with her. She loves to give you hugs and kisses and make you smile. We cannot think of anything better than watching the two of your interacting and enjoying each other. It still seems like a crazy reality to Mommy and Daddy that there are two wonderfully amazing children to love in our house.
Everett, thank you for being in our lives and for waking up each day with such a beaming smile. Your happiness is infectious and your existence makes life that much more fun.
We love you,
Mommy and Daddy
