Summer!

Summer is in full swing at our house - lots and lots of energy around this place!!!

4 months!

This is a week overdue, but here is our little man, 4 months old already! We can't believe how fast the time has gone.

Stats:

Weight - 15 pounds, 9 ounces (75th percentile)
Length - 23.5 inches (50th percentile)
Head Circ. - (75th percentile)

He is growing well, hitting his milestones like a pro! :)

What he's been up to:

Smiling - he gets a kick out of his sisters, but the biggest smiles are when Daddy walks in the room!
Jabbering - he loves to tell us stories!
Rolling over - front to back and now he's trying to go back to front
Chewing and Drooling - he's got his hands in his mouth most of the time and soaks his clothes with drool all day long!

What a joy you are, sweet Collier John!!!

Delaney and her Mini-me...

Sometimes I am struck by how much Collier looks like Delaney. She just adores him - when he cries she tell me she thinks he wants his sissy. I'm so glad she likes him! Oh, and she keeps telling me she wants him to stay a baby forever! I kinda wish the same thing...

3 Months!

It doesn't seem possible, but little Collier John is 3 months this weekend. Where has the time gone?

Here's what he's up to:
-Smiling, smiling, smiling - I love to call him "Guy Smiley". Remember that character? I think it was from Sesame Street!
-Talking - he doesn't do this too often, mostly when there aren't any noisy sisters around!
-Pulling hair - He can grab a fistful of hair faster than you would believe!
-Rolling over - only from front to back, but it's a start, right?
-Sleeping - (most nights) between 5-6 hours. 4am seems to be his happy hour! :)
-Laughing - we've only heard this twice, once when he looked at himself in the mirror and once at Olivia, but it's pretty darn cute!
-Blowing bubbles - a.k.a. - lots and lots of spittle! Dr. says it's probably a little reflux, but he doesn't seem to mind!

Love you so much, little man!

Who needs a bed...

When there's a laundry basket handy? Love this girl's creativity!!! :)

Happy Easter!!!

Well, Easter here in Tulsa turned out to be stormy and cold. But, we are thankful just the same for our Savior rising from the dead!

I've included some pictures of our Easter activities. We colored eggs, decorated cupcakes, and enjoyed our Easter basket goodies!

Love to you all!

A busy, busy Saturday...

This weekend, our favorite color was ORANGE! My yellow striped belts became orange belts in Taekwando. So proud of them all! Joel got a trophy for "best sparring" again - two times in a row! The girls did great. The first part of testing is performing the "forms" they have to memorize. It's just a series of movements and it changes with each belt color. The second part of testing is board breaking. Each testing uses a different type of kick or punch. This time it was a more difficult kick. The third part of testing is the sparring. My girls aren't crazy about that part, but they always seem to make it through just fine!
