4 months!

Carter turns 4 months old today! He has a doctor appointment on Friday morning, and I am very anxious to see how much he weighs and what percentile he is in. I think he has made a huge leap since his 2 month appointment! I am also curious to see how many shots the poor baby has to get this visit. I'll update the stats this weekend!

So I tried a couple times to take his monthly bear picture, and quickly found out that there is a reason professional photographers have an assistant. Taking his picture has now become a 2 person job since he has decided he does not want to sit still! I may try again tomorrow when I have help and he is in the mood to smile more, but for now here is the best that I got.

Um, sorry Christiaan, but I do believe that he has his guns up. Guess you will have to work on the bear claw some more! :)

In other news, when I got back from taking my PPR test(which I passed with flying colors, thankyouverymuch!), this is where Gram Pam had Carter.

Easily amused, as he is playing with measuring spoons. Remind me not to bake anything soon. Oh wait I don't bake anyways.

On Friday we met Emily and Molly for lunch at Breadwinners in Dallas. We hadn't seen them since I was on maternity leave, and the babies had made so many changes since then that I was very excited to see Molly. It is so funny that they are basically on the same page developmentally. Not that they shouldn't be, seeing as how they are only a few hours apart, I have just always learned that boys are slower than girls! (But my child, as we all know, is a genius.) They noticed each other and just stared, but I am sure it won't be long before they are stirring up trouble together!

They were both very smiley during lunch, but of course decided to both be turkeys as soon as the cameras came out and scowl at us. As soon as they can sit up, we will get pictures that don't include their carseats!

Mom and Dad were very excited that the magical netting contraption they devised finally foiled the plans of the evil birds that eat every last dang grape of the grapevine EVERY YEAR, just as they are ripe enough to pick! Can't wait for some of Dad's jelly from it!

Beautiful!

Seriously Mom.....

Don't you have enough pictures of me??

Nope. Never!!

Check back this weekend to find out how much the chunky monkey weighs!
