Joseph - 4 Months

Weight: 13 lbs 14 oz (17.5 percentile)
Height: 24.5" (21.31 percentile)

Recent milestones
Rolls front to back and back to front
Giggles and laughs
Love to stand on legs
Loves to grasp and hold things (especially his blanket already)

Took a step backwards and is up every 1-3 hours again during the night.  However, the pediatrician stated that it's common and I should expect him to go back to sleep 5-6 hours again after a couple weeks.  Yikes…seems like forever away!

Has been going to Music class with the boys and seems to enjoy the music like his brothers.

His height has gone from the 0.3% percentile to a "normal" 21.31% percentile.  I am so relieved that she is back on the chart for height!

The boys - November/December 2013

First snow day in November (Levi didn't last past the picture)

Isaac loves school time (working on Math lesson)

Soooo cold…record lows this year in Colorado! Glad Daddy will take them outside!

Joseph enjoys sitting with big brother to watch cartoons.

(Thankfully, Isaac did not break his arm in soccer like his friend Eli.  If a 3 year old can fall, break arm, and get 3 pins surgically placed from playing soccer, I'm in for a long 18+ years ahead of me!)

Thanksgiving

We enjoyed having some family here for Thanksgiving.  Since Joe's brother and his family now live here too, the boy's got to have Thanksgiving with their new cousin Aubrey.  With a deep fried turkey, it freed up the oven for all the side dishes.  But no matter how prepaid I was, we still had a spill over in the oven, sending smoke through the house, and smoke alarms waking up one of the babies.  Oops!

Joseph - 3 months

This boy is one happy, giggling boy!  He loves to coo and talk to anyone.  Smiles at the sight of mommy or daddy.  He even giggles when I change his diaper as he is so ticklish!

He seems to like a schedule and goes to bed around 9:00 at night. He usually wakes up 1 time during the night to eat, and then once in the morning but goes right to back to bed.

He has begun to roll over from belly to back and lift his head while on his tummy.  He is such a joy!  I hate to admit it, but I almost forget about him sometimes as he is so quiet and sleeps a lot while I am buysy chasing around the two older boys!

New Family Pictures

It was time to update the family picture for the upcoming Christmas card.  An old student of mine, Abbey, came by once again to use her amazing talent on us!  Happy with so many of the shots she got of the boys!
