Well, life is just plugging along for us here in Atlanta - Henry is almost 5 months old now, and I haven't even done his 4-month update! We've been to Boston, Hilton Head, and next weekend will be our first camping trip with the kids.
So at 4months, Henry was 15lbs, 10oz.(75th percentile). And I can't recall his exact measurements for height and head circumference, but he was in the 75th percentile for both of those as well! He is a BIG boy - I told Wes last night he is going to have to start walking soon because I can't keep carrying him around! I seriously have callouses on my hands from carrying him in his carseat! I forgot how heavy those things were!
He has just started baby foods in the last couple weeks too - to my delight his pediatrician said we could go ahead and start him -so he is getting used to that. I think his stomach is still adjusting, but overall he does pretty well. His favorite so far is pears. Not a fan of carrots...
He is rolling all over the place, and even scooting almost. I think we are going to have a crawler before too much longer! He laughs a lot now, and loves loves loves Abbie and Wes so much! He gets so excited when they talk to him and just pay him any attention (which hardly ever happens of course!)
His hair is dark and his eyes are a dark green - I'm still not sure if they will be brown or not - but they sure are pretty right now. His smile is the cutest thing you've ever seen, and he's still a complete twin of Wes.
Now for an Abbie update - she is just as wild and crazy and energetic as ever! She is very much THREE and does not let us forget it. It's a good thing I have friends who have 3-year olds, so we don't feel so alone with the challenges we face with her -but she still makes us laugh, loves to sing, and can act out Tangled like you wouldn't believe! I really think I'm going to have to get her into drama. She is adjusting to school - I haven't had much chance to talk to her teachers yet about how she is doing - but she is learning songs in Spanish, as well as songs about colors, days of the week, etc. Her favorite songs on the radio are Stronger by Sara Evans, Stuck Like Glue by Sugarland, and (unfortunately) she has just started singing Justin Beiber!! We really have no clue where she has heard his music.
As for Wes, he is staying very busy with his job and will be taking on a new territory here closer to home soon, which of course brings added responsibility for him. He is also going to be traveling a lot this fall, which I am not looking forward to -but we'll survive!
My job is going well -I love having flexibility, being so close to home and the office, and the kids - I am very busy with it but that's a good thing.
We are still very happy here in GA and are looking forward to cooler weather and a fabulous fall!!
