Last week I took this HUGE baby to his four month check up. He weighed in at 19 lbs 3 oz and was 26.75 inches long. This makes him larger than all his siblings by a pound and a quarter of an inch. He is in the 93%tile for weight and 91%tile for height, so he is proportionally large.
This O ball toy is one of his favorites. It makes me laugh because he loves to stick his tongue into the circles!
Big news for this guy! While he was away visiting with Meme and Bob Bob over Christmas break, we moved his things and set up his new bedroom! We hung blinds, and got him a wardrobe to hang clothes. We still need doors, right now we have sheets up but they will be coming soon. He also needs a desk but we are working on that too. He was SO happy. He loves to have his own space and he will sit there and read for hours.
Meanwhile back in the yellow room......Ava has moved to the top bunk and the bottom holds all her stuffies. Dawson has the loft. He doesn't have a real attraction to "stuff" and could very much be described a minimalist. In fact once he moved all his stuff to the loft the closet was bare! So I told him we could turn it into a fun hideout with blankets and flashlights. I even have my eye on a star/constellation/space shuttle projector. He liked it so much he decided to use it for sleeping! He told us in the morning that it was good practice for the jungle.

Two days later he got up and complained that his neck hurt and I told him it was probably from sleeping on the floor. By that evening he was running a 102.7 temp, had chills, headache and wasn't eating. I started to get nervous when he was complaining about his neck and he would turn his whole body to look left and right. Well, today he went to the doctor and he has strep throat and the flu. Poor guy! He did make me laugh because he told me "Mom here is my schedule for today. Play video games, take a nap. Play video games, drink a milkshake, take a nap." Sounds like the perfect day Doc!
On Saturday we took this little girl to go get her ears pierced. Recently she asked again and she has been getting better about letting me wash and brush her hair. I also thought it would be nice for first communion to have a pretty pair of cross earrings.
She did fantastic and she didn't even flinch! I told her she was braver than I was, I chickened out the first time! She has been great about cleaning them three times a day and allowing me to clean them in the evening.
We almost never go the the mall. I think I've been to the mall maybe four times since we moved here? Anyway, the kids saw the ride on stuffies and we had to let them have a turn.
They had a blast zipping around the mall and didn't take anyone out! Although it came close once or twice.
Back when Dawson was healthy. I jokingly said that I'll probably see civilization in February, after this sickness runs through us all!
