Four Months

It is so hard to believe it has already been four months since this little guy arrived. He is growing and changing every day. On December 1st I took him to the doctor because he had been pretty fussy for a few days. He weighed 16 pounds 1oz. The doctor thought he had acid reflux because of the fussiness and spit up, so she changed his formula. The formula has seemed to help. On December 14th we took him for his well check and just look at how much he has gained in two weeks:
Stats at 4 month well check:
Height: 26 1/4 inches
Weight: 17 pounds 14 ounces

Almost 2 pounds!! This kid does not miss a meal....even at night. His sleeping at night has regressed some this month. He wakes up at 2am and 6am to eat without fail. He does go right back to sleep though...thank goodness!


He rolls from his back to his belly. He also has two teeth. He enjoys playing on the floor and in his timeout chair. He has started reaching for his toys on his exersaucer. He enjoys looking at his hands and eating his fists. Rachel wanted me to add that he likes to pull hair too!! He also loves the attention his brother and sisters shower him with all the time! He has a smile for everybody and loves to laugh...he is just so sweet!

I am still trying to make him a cowboy....

We love you baby Wade!!!

Thanksgiving 2010

This post is a little late because it has been a little crazy around here, but I wanted to get Thanksgiving posted before Christmas arrived, so here you go.

We went to Snyder to spend Thanksgiving Day with my side of the family. We had lunch at my Aunt Lorita's house. It was a delicious meal and a great day! Chris had worked the night before so he slept through most of Thanksgiving, but he came to Snyder to be with us.



After lunch we went to Grananna's and Grandpa's to visit with Grandnanna's family. The kids had fun running and playing with all the kids.

Friday we had all of Chris's mom's side of the family at our house. Below is the whole group minus one (DJ was MIA). We had 19 in all. It was great getting to all be together.
Ian is showing Luke how to play Granny's phone.
Granny gives the best massages...Wade would just lay there and soak it all in. We have tried to hold him this way, but we just don't have the right touch. Wade can't wait for Granny to come back for some more back rubs!
Wade really benefited from all the extra arms. Uncle Aaron even had some baby duty.
Daddy's Granny was Wade's new best friend...She got to hold him as much as she wanted, and Wade LOVED every minute of it!!! The best naps are when you are being held.
PawPaw's turn. I don't think Wade had to be put down the whole weekend. He was in seventh heaven!
We made little gingerbread houses with the kids.
Mac and Wade getting acquainted.
We don't get together with Granny and Aunt Cara without playing beauty shop. Aunt Johnnie even had her hair done this time. I guess when Sydney gets bigger I will have to have mine done too.
Great picture of the kids waiting for some food.
Now this is a lap full of babies...

We had such a great Thanksgiving weekend! We always enjoy getting to spend time with our family!!
