My growing boy

My cute little boy - 4 months

Ean went to the doctors this week for his 4 month check up. He is a little over 16 lbs. He is a lb away from doubling his birth weight - that is just crazy. He is also 26 inches tall. It amazes me how fast they grow up. He just isn't little anymore not that he ever really was. He has been rolling over for the last 2 weeks. Ean wants to crawl so bad that you find him spin around in circles on his stomach. Of course he puts everything in his mouth and we have started him on cereal. Not sure what he is thinking about on that. Isabel just wants to feed him whatever we are having so Court and I have to keep an even closer eye on her.

Izzy wants so badly for him to be able to do what she does. She really likes it when I stand him up so he can dance with her. Or when they lay on our bed together under the covers. She just says over and over again "Ean like me." I hope that she doesn't mind so much him "wanting to be like her" when she gets older.

My silly little girl

Here are few pictures of my favorite girl. And her silliness - I love it.

It has been raining like crazy in Utah the last couple of weeks, and one of Izzy's favorite things to do is play in the rain. So here is she is in her raincoat, boots and who could forget the sunglasses.

Isabel is obsessed with birthdays. Mostly hers. She says my birthday is ____ and then fills in the blank with whatever day of the week she thinks of first. And the month of May didn't help. We celebrated two birthdays and mother's day all in a week. Luckily, she has her half birthday in May. Last year, we started a tradition in which we celebrate half birthdays with cupcakes. So here is Izzy decorating them.

Well this is Isabel's new sleeping arrangements for last month. One night she told me she wanted to sleep on the floor. I asked her why she didn't want to sleep in her bed and she said it was yucky (her new favorite word). It doesn't whether it is nap or bedtime she wants to sleep on the floor. We have tried a number of things, but she prefers the floor. The other night she fill asleep downstairs, so we thought great chance to put her in her bed. Nope, once Court put her in bed she woke up long enough to tell him to put her on the floor. I have know idea why she doesn't like her bed.

Feeling a bit spoiled

So my birthday was last month. I got a nice used Nikon camera from my adopted mom. The family pitched in and got me accessories to go with it. I am just excited that I will be able to take pictures of my kids without missing the shot. My old camera took so long between takes that I missed so much. It is so fancy, I have much to learn.

Speaking of learning new things, Court got me a piano. Our neighbor was moving and didn't want to take the piano with her, so we got it at a great price (thanks Sue). Here is a picture of my new friend.

For those of you who are wondering, no I don't play. At least not until a couple of weeks ago. I have started taking piano lessons. It is something I have always wanted to do and now I get the chance. Right now I can play Old McDonald, Merrily We Roll Along, and Yankee Doodle. As you can guess Izzy loves it. If you look to the right of the piano there is an old keyboard we pulled out storage for Izzy to play on while I practice. She loves rocking out on it. Hopefully, she will be as excited to play in a few years when she starting piano lessons herself.
