Rose went to the Dr. on Monday for her 4 month well check… and has been grouchy ever since!

4 months 14 pounds 24 inches

She actually holds on to toys now!

She was the talk of the Dr.s office and did all of her big smiles and laughing for them. Did I mention that those were the only smiles this week? Rose rivals Benji for my easiest baby. She is so fun and I till just love to hold her whenever I can.

attention span of my 2 year old

On Tuesday I read ALL of these books to Cali before her nap!! how did she negotiate that??? She loves to be read to and I figure i might as well jump on that opportunity and let her soak in all the information she can from these books.

a favorite

“no more monkeys jumping on the bed” – that’s the part she tries to sing along with. She also just realized that Ben reads to the boys in their room after family prayer (they are reading Fablehaven – i just started it today and I am hooked.) so now I have to read a book or 2 to her in her bed at night. We’ve tried to let her listen in with the boys but she just can’t keep herself under control.

Cali also feels the need to stand on her head upside down when we read this funny monkey page.

you can find me here at least 5 times a day

Benj just took this picture of me and I think I’ll put it in his baby book because this is where I am sitting when he goes to school and this is what i do right after we pick him up from school… he might think I’m sitting here the whole day :).

Found your Goggles Ben

Cali really wanted in the sink with Rose - she ended up being a great help!
