4.5 Months: Tummy Sleeping & Growing Like A Weed

Luke didn't get to wear his 0-3 month clothes very long. But I dont think very many babies do ... mine sure don't :) I pulled out the 3-6 month clothes and he wore maybe one or two outfits until I noticed they werent fitting right either. So, I went back into the closet and pulled out a tub of 6-9 month clothes. He's 18 weeks, or 4.5 months old, and he jumped right into 9 month baby clothes. Not only that, but he doesnt have a lot of wiggle room in them either!

A few weeks ago he rolled from his tummy to his back a few times. He seems to have given that up. Now he just rolls from his back to his tummy all day. He has also decided he wants to be a tummy sleeper. This is fine and dandy, except he seems to be confused as to how to get back onto his back. Thus, occasionally we have a very upset baby who seems to be stuck on his belly in the middle of the night.

Overall he's growing like a weed. He cant stop smiling, and his smiles are totally contagious. He's made everyone in the house a little happier. For that, the middle-of-the-night-stuck-on-his-tummy-wake-up-call is well worth it :)

Mom: 60 seconds
Ryan: (sighs) 60 seconds is so long!

Before n After

Brooke has been asking for two years to cut her hair short. The fact she is only (almost) 6, added to the fact that she couldn't talk for the first two years ... Means this is a pretty major part of her life.  I promised her last year we would do it before kindergarten ... And so here we are.

When she finally was given the go-ahead she tried to backtrack and "just get a trim".  I told her she could do anything she wanted with her hair.  She asked to color it orange.

I suggested we start with a cut and talk color in about 10 years.  She sat doenrje to look at a book of cuts and finally settled on one.  She's ready for kindergarten now ;)
