Not too much going on with us...especially in this summer heat! We are sure ready for fall to arrive. We have been trying to find fun things to do while staying cool!! We have our weekly play dates with Emi and Teri. We also had our good friends, the Bedard family, come and visit us from Tennessee. Their little guy Evan, our god son, is growing so fast that pretty soon he will be chasing after Connor...with Greyson not too far behind!
Greyson had his 4 month check up. He weighed in at 15 pounds, 6 ounces (in the 60th%) and measured 25 3/4 inches long (in the 75th%). Doctor said he is doing well!! We might try to gradually start putting dairy back into my diet (and his) since his reflux seems under control. His sleeping is getting better....thankfully! He is going down at 8 and sleeping until 6-7am with 1 (sometimes 2) night feedings. He still wakes up a few more times in the middle of the night, but we let him fuss...he doesn't wail or scream....he just fusses for 15 minutes or so then falls back to sleep. Last night was the first night we put him in his crib totally awake, and he fell asleep on his own!! His napping is decent though....morning nap is always super short, but his afternoon nap is a good 3+ hours. He is also sleeping on his tummy. We know "back is best" but we were desperate...so it is what it is! His neck is strong so we have no worries!
Connor is still into learning colors. Lately he has been obsessed with stop signs, and will spot them all along our drives in the car. He is also getting proficient at some of his favorite books. See the video below of him telling the story of Brown Bear Brown Bear. He is also very much into Mickey Mouse, and the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse tv show. We cannot wait to take him to Disney sometime next year. Potty training is still a no go...we bought all kinds of "cool" underwear with Mickey Mouse and Cars on them, so we talk about them all the time. We also got him to flush the potty...so maybe these things will help stir some more interest!
Enjoy the pics below....I know there are a million of Greyson in his little 4 month sticker...but they were all so good that it was hard for me to narrow down my favs! The last couple pictures on there are of our house. We had some major landscaping done to the outside of the house. It has given it a much needed face lift! Now, the challenge will be to keep all the new greenery alive in this summer heat!! Please ignore the dead grass....next up will be laying sod, but we are going to wait until fall to do that.
