4mth Checkup


Today was Brennan's 4mth checkup. He now weighs 15lbs 10.5oz, which makes him in the 75% for his weight. He is also 26.5 in long (97th) and he's in the 50th for his head. Dr. Altenburg also listened to his heart for a long time. She doesn't seem to think that Brennan has a heart mummer anymore but wants to recheck again at 6mths. If she hears one then, she plans on having an ultrasound done to double check as an extra precaution. She did notice however that Brennan is tongued tied. She doesn't seem to think that it will effect him much since he obviously doesn't have any trouble eating. The real test will be when he starts to talk, and whether or not it will effect his speech.

We also talked about him being off his acid reflux meds, which I haven't given to him since Christmas and he's doing great, as well as me starting him on rice cereal. He is meeting all his milestones of rolling, cooing, laughing, and following objects and sound. I told her that he started rolling two days after his last appt, which she thought was crazy. But after examining him she could see why. Brennan grab onto her otoscope and wouldn't let go. She said she has never had a 4mth grab onto it, never mind not letting go. Brennan did have fluid in his ear but it wasn't an infection yet, so I opted not to give him antibiotics. However, if his symptoms change in the next couple of days, I just have to call the office and they'll call in scprit for me.

Zoo

Today we went to the zoo with both boys for the first time. It was such a picture perfect day. Even though we are zoo member, yesterday was the first day we have ever taken the train at the zoo (since it's $3 per person). Liam was so excited for the train and couldn't wait until it reached the station.

Liam got to pet the snake.
The giraffes were even out today.
The "mingos".
Finishing our day with some ice cream. Clay took Liam to the bathroom when he was done eating. Liam was so excited that he went potty.......on Daddy. We had the lady next to us in stitches she was laughing so hard.
Normally we don't let Liam get anything in the gift shop, but it was such a great day that we let him pick out a new stuffed animal. He chose this super cute dinosaur.

My Poor Kitchen


On Thursday morning Liam and I thought Clay was in the shower. Unfortunately he was still in bed and the sound was a pipe that broke in our foundation. It wasn't til Saturday that we had a leak specialist come out and found the leak in our kitchen floor. He was able to remove one tile, fix the pipe, add sand back under the house, and re-cement our floors for us.

Froggie Hat and Bee Backpack


For Christmas, GG and Grandma Marny sent Liam a froggie hat and a bee backpack. Margaret Ann made the hat and it's just way to stink'n cute. Liam refuses to go outside without them both on. He even wore them to Target the other day when it was 75 degrees outside.

Liam's Castle

Liam got these awesome building blocks for Christmas that are castles and churches. Here he is just building away.

Merry Christmas

For Christmas we went home. We had such a great time with our friends and families. It was so awesome seeing the excitement on Liam's face. I almost wish Christmas could be every day.

Liam loved taking my Mom's presents apart, closing them, and restacking them into the sleigh. It kept him entertained for hours.

10yr Reunion

Over Christmas break, Clay and I went to our 10yr youth group reunion. It was so great seeing everyone. Its crazy how many of us are married, have kids, and really jobs(as compared to HS). Had such a blast, let's not wait ten more years.

Grapefruit Tree

Before we left to go home for Christmas, Liam and Penelope were playing in the grapefruit tree. It was way too cute. They had so much fun picking the fruit from the tree and putting them in trucks and driving them around the yard.
