4 months old!

Dear Jesus, Thank you for my family and for my food! Amen

Our little sweetie is 4 months old today!

She is doing so well. Weighing in today at a healthy 13.7 lbs and 24.75 inches in length. She is getting so big. The doctor said that she is in the 50% of babies for this age in both height and weight (moms you will know what that means).

Ellyson can accomplish the following things:
* rolls over back to front
* rolls over front to back
* smiles and coos
* reaches for objects
* gets her whole fist in the mouth
* sleeps for 4-6 hours without mom
* doesn't take a pacifier or a bottle (not really an accomplishment according to mom)
* know where breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and comfort come from
* squeals, chats and mutters
* bears weight on her legs when standing
* knows the faces of mom, dad, brother, gma and gpa

The teething begins, ugh!

Hey mom, could you please put that camera down and pass me my teething ring?

Snow Day

Carter had a blast in the snow....Ellyson was bummed out that she couldn't go out there!

Dr. Carter

Unfortunately my mom has been very sick this week (please keep her in your prayers, Kidney infection they think) so I have made several trips to the doctors office. Last Friday Carter was with me and he was totally adorable as we waited. The nurse gave him all sorts of neat "doctor supplies" to keep him busy and boy did they ever. Here is a little glimps of my check-up from Dr. Carter

Carter: "What seems to be the problem with you?"
Mom: "Well I can't stop laughing."
Carter: "Ok, let me check your heart." (then he also checked my mouth and arm, etc...)

Next my condition was
Mom: "My hair is turning purple"
and then it was
Mom: "My foot is too wiggly"

After each symptom description he had to put on his gloves and check my mouth, then heart, then head, then foot. He was too cute as he asked me questions in a deep sounding voice (I guess that is what he thinks doctors sound like).

Diagnose: A bad case of the SILLY

My sweet new niece

Church Christmas Party

Last night us girls went to a ladies Christmas party. It was so much fun. It was a black & white affair...look how cute we are!

Maezie Joy Goodman

Welcome Maezie!

She arrived on December 2, 2008 at 10:22pm - weighing in at 8lbs. 15oz and 20.5 inches long. Mandi had a c-section because Maezie was a little big and not moving out too quickly, but she is a healthy little girl and after giving mom a very long day they are both doing well! Josh was a great support for Mandi and beamed from ear to ear when he got to hold his new precious little girl. We are all very impressed with her beautiful blond hair, it's almost long enough for piggy tales! The proud daddy is the only one in these pictures cause mom was still in the O.R. I will post more pictures as we get them!
