Month 4

This month has been a very fast paced month as far as your development is concerned! You have literally taken off and you roll ALL over the place. If there is a toy just out of your arms grasp, you will roll until you have it in your hands.  I expect you to crawl any day now (mom crawled at 4.5 months)You play with almost anything you can get your hands on. You are learning so much! You hit a lot of things -like faces-yours and ours- to try and figure out cause and effect. You have favorite toys like your teethers and a mickey mouse stuffed animal. You also love your ‘jumperoo’ bouncy seat.  Your verbal skills are really taking off too! You ‘talk’ from the moment you wake up. You are so happy, you smile and play all the time!  Mom and Dad are working very hard to get your sleep schedule down.  After Papa Bear died your schedule was thrown off, so we have been working hard to get you back to sleeping thru the night.  By the end of this month you were only waking up once a night at 4am.  You also started eating solid foods this month.  Your first vegetable was sweet potatoes just like Daddy’s first vegetable.  Then you tried sweet pears, carrots, squash, bananas and peaches.  There really isn’t a food you don’t love.

Playing in the snow

Playing on his tummy

Ebin has been playing on his tummy a lot lately. J swear he is going to take off crawling any day now! He looks like a water beatle when he’s on his stomach. His arms and legs just flail about and he looks like he’s about to take off.

Anyway, here is a pic that our neice Ashleigh took of him playing on his tummy.

This will make ya feel fat…

So the other morning I was ironing my FAV. Anne Taylor black work pants.  I’ve had them for about 5 years or so and they have been iron, dry-cleaned, starched, and worn about a million times.  While I was ironing them I realized that the booty was pretty worn and I thought to myself “well, this is the last time I will wear these pants.” 

I put the pants on and go about my day.  Lunch time comes around and I decide to go to my mom and dad’s to hang out with Ebin.  I get there and get down on the floor with him and play with him for a little while.  Then I walk into the kitchen to get something to eat.  While I was walking thru the kitchen my mom says “Ker, did you sit on something white?  There is something on your bottom.”  And I felt my booty and I realized my pants had ripped!!  OMG!  

They didn’t actually split, they sorta just frayed, I guess because they are just so aged and worn.  Luckily I wear a lab-coat at work all day, so I don’t think I flashed anyone, but there was a whole ripped right threw my pants!  

So, I ran out of the house and up to Marshall’s and bought a super cute pair of black dress pants from Limited for $14.99!  And got back to work with 2 minutes to spare.

Happy March 1 Everybody!

On Thursday it was 70 degrees.  Last night, it dropped down into the 20’s and a huge snow storm blew threw … well huge for us in Memphis!  

Here are some pictures of our ’snow storm’ on March 1!
