Giggles and Flip Flops

I had to get Michael laughing tonight.  

Lauren is in a shoe phase...wearing everyone's shoes.  She can put her own socks and shoes on though and we are very proud!

MC- 4 Months

Well, if you can believe it, Michael Charles is 4 months old already (and a couple days).  Here are his stats:

Ht: 26" (he grew 3 inches since his 2 month checkup) (85%)
Wt: 14# 7-1/2oz (he was 11#?oz at his 2 month) (25-50%)
Head: 42-1/2 (not sure what the measurement is :)  (75-90 %)

He smiles all of the time now and loves when you talk to him.  His thing is grabbing his feet and bringing them to his mouth.  He just started rolling onto his side and occasionally completing that by rolling onto his belly.  He is getting more curious about the things around him.  He is starting to try to turn his head 180 degrees when you are holding him towards you so he can see what's out there, but he still likes to be held facing us which makes me happy.  LK always had to be facing out.  I can get some laughs out of him, especially when I pick him up from daycare and he sees me for the second time that day.  It's hilarious when he laughs.  It makes me laugh.  His teachers say he is a very good baby and very content.  We agree.



Lauren wanted to share the chair. (Yesterday, Michael's teachers told me that Lauren came to visit him because she was feeling sad and wanted to see Michael to give him kisses.  Melts my heart.)

Love fest

I had to get some shots of Michael and Lauren tonight.  Michael was playing on the floor mat and Lauren came over to give him encouragement and tons of kisses.  Michael proceeded to pull Lauren's hair to which Lauren said "michael pull my hair mommy."  I can already see a year from now the real hair pulling that will occur.  I hope I'm wrong and they just love on each other to no end.

 Hi Michael!
Lauren: HIIIIIIII  MICHAAAAAAEL

Lauren proceeds to lay on Michael

Brief respite

Me: Lauren, please don't put all of your weight on Michael. Lay on his side.

Lauren: noooo mommy
Michael: please help me

Lauren: Minna give him kisses
Me: ok that's nice

Me: enough kisses?
Lauren: nooooo, more kisses

Me: Chris, get a pic of us please. Chris always gets the good ones.

And of course a request of me with my kiddos.  Cheese!
