4 months old

I can't believe how fast my boy is growing! He will be 5 months on the 21st. Whenever I tell people how old he is they say "holy cow!" "why?" you ask? At his 4 month appointment he weighed in at 15lbs (he has since grown to 17lbs) and was an amazing 27in tall!! That means, in 4-5 months he has nearly gained 10lbs and 6in. no wonder he gets fussy at times and sleeps through the night (hooray!). He is in the 97th percentile for height (no surprise) and has now exceeded Grace's size at 6 months. Amazing! I love how vocal he has become and how determined he is. Go David!
oh, and his outfit is size 12 months. He is only 8in shorter and 10lb lighter than his sister, she is 2 years old.

What you've missed

Things have been a little busy since little boy was born. Grace turning 2 and his blessing are the highlights. This is a picture of Grace 2 years ago.

Here is Grace eating a burrito on her birthday. We didn't do anything special, but she got a lot of fun things: a toy guitar, a tricycle, a toy computer and several other things from her Aunts and Uncles.

My cute babies sitting together. No he can't sit on his own yet.

My handsome David in his suit.
He's usually such a happy boy.

remembering

my family has never been very good at celebrating memorial day, so I figured I would just make a little post honoring my grandpas. I grew up with two grandpas and two grandmas. few people are so lucky. I miss them both everyday and wish my kids could be blessed by their spirits like I was. I like to think they met in heaven before my kids came here. I also hope the same is true with their grandpa Don that I never got to meet in this life.


we lost our grandpa Lee in 2009 to stomach cancer. he was 80 years old.


we lost our grandpa Mike in 2005 to alzheimer's. he was 72 years old.

No one ever had a bad thing to say about either of them. they were very special men who blessed everyone they came into contact with.

tongue tied?

I recently noticed a little notch at the end of David's tongue. should I be concerned? will this effect his speech and eating?
