Lovin' this 4 month old!

I think it is totally safe to say that we are all in love with this little girl! At 4 months, she is a ray of sunshine and dripping with baby sweetness! Unless she is hungry, she is always so happy! She loves her brothers and sisters - they are the funniest people ever! She is also pretty popular among the neighborhood kids, and her sibling's friends! She is rolling over, trying desperately to sit up, don't even think about trying to hold her like a newborn baby - she sits herself right up...she will have none of that! She wakes up extremely happy in the mornings, which makes her the odd man out around our house! She is sort of sleeping through the night, only waking up once or so. She is fond of her swing and likes to bat at the toys on her exer-saucer and bouncy seat. She also started eating rice cereal this week, although she doesn't seem impressed with it yet! She was at the doctor's office last week and weighed 14 pounds 2 ounces. I can't believe how big she is already!




Madison and Mallory watched Preston and Quincy this evening while I was at Colin's ball practice and Jim was at Cameron's ball practice. They took some hilarious photos of them with Quincy's new Harley! I am not sure if this was them being sweet, or the beginning of a fist fight! They tend to be hot and cold that way all the time!


Madison wiped out at track practice. This is her self-portrait of the worst of her knees. I smell scars in her future. They look awful and she is walking pretty stiffly! She has a meet tomorrow afternoon, I hope she will be able to move her legs!

And just in case you wondered, the boys next door did find their turtle! Colin and Cam were over there for a long time after school today...and I am not sure who found him but he is now safe and sound in his cage again! They offered the boys $ for helping, I used it as an opportunity to tell them that we help our neighbors when they need us without compensation for it! They might have been disappointed, but then I pointed out the Bible says so - that usually shuts down any real arguments in a hurry!
