4 Months Already?

Being our wittle peanut is 4 months, we got the green light to try cereal with her. She isn't truly bonkers about it yet, but is starting to figure it out. Addy gets a kick out of it though. Aubs has started watching our food move to our mouth, so we thought we would give it a try. She is catching on slowly...you can tell she is trying to figure out how her tounge works:)

Her 4 month statistics are great! She weighed in at 12 lbs 3 oz. which puts her about the 30th percentile and her height was 23 and 3/4 inches which put her about the 25th percentile. She is a peanut! She has been sleeping consistently through the night now for a while (good girl Aubs!). I usually put her down between 8-8:30 pm and she wakes between 7-7:30 am. She is great at rolling from belly to back, and almost has the back to tummy roll down. She is great at holding her head! What a tough baby girl! I have been working a TON lately (understatement) and feel like she changes while I am gone! It is soooo sad how quickly the grow! I miss the "newborn-ness" but am loving how expressive and giggly she is!

BUMBO!

Aubrey has wanted nothing to do with lying down anymore. If we are holding her, she is always wanting to sit up and will almost pull herself up already. So, we decided to go out to Target and pick up a Bumbo that we hear so much. She absolutely loves it! (Except immediately after she eats....) This girl can sit in her bumbo while Addy entertains her and she would be completely comfortable doing this for hours. What a great invention!

Grandma and Grandpa B visit!

It was a short visit, but they got lots of squeezes in! We, of course, made a trip to the red store after I got back from boot camp/training, and played a little Skip Bo.....a very enjoyable Sunday. Thanks grandma and grandpa....oh, and grandpa's cookie made Addy feel better after she fell and hurt her nose:)

The Exersaucer

Yep, she's already old enough to use her exersaucer. Mommy is sad she is growing so fast, but excited she has something else to do now!

Addy's Tumbling Class

Friday we started tumbling class. I have to say I was excited to say the least. And I was even more thrilled that Addy had such a great time and is excited to go back. I can't believe she can walk across the beam! She listened for a bit, but then her age started showing.
I think Addy's favorite part of the class was getting her hands stamped at the end for being a good listener. She didn't even want to wash her hands the rest of the day for fear that they would wash off. I am a little nervous...she was one of the tallest ones in there. I am excited to see how she progresses in 7 weeks:)

Ainsley Ruth Eytcheyson

Mommies and Daddies....please take time today and tomorrow to give you children extra hugs and extra kisses. A close friend/teammate lost her 3 month old baby girl on Tuesday and will be laying her to rest tomorrow. I am so deeply saddened by this that I want everyone to send up a prayer for every parent out there that has to say goodbye to their precious gifts too soon. Ainsley will be missed and forever remembered. God bless Alisa and Marcus and help them find the strength and courage to get through this difficult time. I know a day hasn't gone by that I haven't thought about how difficult this must be and I haven't stopped squeezing my girls. Live each day like it is your last; make your lives memorable and take nothing for granted!

Daddy

No, daddy didn't pee his pants. But Addy peed on him...it was hilarious! I guess he deserves it. He was tickling her and she was laughing so hard this happened. We are liking having daddy home a "bit" more. He has a couple nicer rotations for the next couple months. He will be taking his step 3 medical boards this month. We can all breathe easier when we get that taken and his results back. We love you daddy:)

Addy has been keeping pretty busy these days. She LOVES being at home with our nanny Nina. I think she colors, paints, does flash cards and dances to the Wiggles everyday! She is getting super excited for her first day of gymnastics on Friday. We try on the pink leo about 3 times per week! We got her a warm up suit to wear as well....I am hoping she does well with me sitting in there.
She's been getting more comfortable around Aubrey. Almost too comfortable. She shared a skittle with her last night. It was a bit scary, but she now "understands" that Aubrey only drinks milk. Aubrey wasn't that crazy about it......
Addy has been a poser....she poses all the time. I will even catch her doing a cat walk. I'm not quite sure where she gets that?

Hooded Towels

I just LOVE putting Aubs in hooded towels. Babies are soooo cute in them. I am so lucky I get to wake up to these baby blues everyday! She has really grown to love bath time. She used to scream her head off, but now she hears the water run and she starts to rub her feet together like a cricket! Here she is at 12 weeks....
