Landry peed on the potty!

Camden's been using the potty a few times a day for about 3 weeks now. We plopped him down on the big potty and put Landry on the training potty before their baths tonight and she did it!

Our little caboose is 4 months old!










Owen turned 4 months old yesterday. Where has the time gone? He's babbling up a storm, giggling like an old man, trying to pull his knees up under him, doing a front-to-back roll on occasion and making our lives fuller every single day! It's hard to believe that less than a year ago we were trying to figure out what in the world we would ever do with three kids, and now we can't imagine what we'd ever do without all of them! He's still very laid back, but has developed a few preferences about how he likes/doesn't like to be held, etc. He's still a great night-time sleeper. He stays awake in hour and a half intervals during the day. We try to take advantage of all the snuggle time, because (and I know I've said this before, but) this is the end of the line!
*
He had his 4 month check up today, and here are his stats:
*
Height: 23.5 inches (10th percentile - still!)
Weight: 13 pounds, 11.5 ounces (25th percentile)
Head: 16.5 inches (50th percentile)
*
Everything looked great, but they're ordering another ultrasound of his kidneys just to make sure things are still looking good.

My little reds

Happy 20 months, Lulu!




The Queen of Fits turned 20 months old on Thursday. It seems like every day she finds a new level of loud to display during her tantrums. She's a little sweetie when she wants to be, but still doesn't take too kindly to being told no. She wakes up almost every morning asking for "mum" (gum), "numonees" (M&Ms) or "baboosht" (Starbursts), thus starting off the no!/temper tantrum portion of our day. It's a vicious cycle!
*
She's got a few four word sentences, the most common of which is "I don't like it". Her vocabulary gets stronger each day, and luckily Camden understands a lot of her "words". She often asks him for help, which comes out "needsumelp", and likes to point out everything that resembles a tractor by saying "you see dat dactuh?"
*
She's quite a character - SO completely and totally different from Camden. She still thinks Owen's pretty cool, but I think she's started figuring out that a lot of times when I don't do what she wants me to it's because I'm occupied doing something for him. I'm pretty impressed that it's taken almost four months for her to display any sort of jealousy!
*
We love her to the moon and back, in spite of her propensity for throwing fits!

Owen's three month stats












So I'm finally posting Owen's three month statistics, just in time for his four month check up. I'm just a little behind!


Height: 22.5 inches (10th percentile)
Weight: 12 pounds, 8.5 ounces (50th percentile)
Head: 16.5 inches (75th percentile)


It seems that Owen will definitely be our shorty. I'll be curious to see how much he weighs when he goes in next month, because he's really chunked up over the past few weeks.


The pictures show him admiring himself in the mirror and then rolling over. He did it two times, but then will Scott walked in he tried to make a liar out of me.
