4 months old!



So, this is now becoming Michael's milestone blog. As it says in the title, Michael is 4 months, tomorrow. I didn't realize that the last photos had him in the same outfit...even though he's #4, he does have a few outfits. :) Anyway, here is what Michael's doing at 4 months:


  • He is now sitting up in his little seat for 15-20 minute intervals....it's quite a bit of work for a little guy.

  • He rolls from stomach to back regularly but has only rolled from back to stomach 1 time!

  • He will drink from a bottle (he even takes 6 ounces of formula at bedtime.

  • He's starting to take a morning and afternoon nap.

  • He sleeps until 4 am (we're ready for all night)!

  • He smiles and coos all of the time

  • He is drooling all of the time....I think 2 small teeth on the bottom will come in this month

  • He LOVES to watch his brothers and sister play around him...he's ready to join in!

I'm sure there is so much more, but that's all I can think of at this moment.


In other news, Timothy and Grandma B flew out to Portland to visit Uncle Mikey on Tuesday, and so far, everyone is having a great time! Timothy has not been on a plane since he was 3 1/2, but he did great with his flights. He gets to go out to the coast, see Mt Hood and so much more! It's great for a 7 year old with 3 small siblings. We were suppose to go to Indiana to spend time with our friends, the O'Connors & Papa & Grandma Surburg, but Matthew and Abby picked up a virus at VBS. With 102 degree fevers, we made the decision to stay home and get them healthy! With the change in plans, we are trying to do as much as possible around the house!

Swamp Fox 2008




Timothy had a great 1st year with Swamp Fox Track program. He finished 1st place in 8 of 9 events at the meets. He placed 1st at all 3 meets in the 50 meter and long jump and had a 1st place at one meet in the shotput and a 1st place at the 2nd meet in the 100 meter (his only 2nd was in the shotput at the last meet). He REALLY loves to run, and he's super fast. He did shotput at 2 of the 3 meets, but I don't see shotput in his future! :) Marion is so fortunate to have a great track program for kids 6 and up. Timothy will join again next summer!

Michael at 3 months

Well, Michael hit 3 months a few days ago, so I thought I'd share some photos of him on his favorite mat! The object hanging down at the top is his favorite star that lights up and plays music. On the whole, he is much better with Prevacid 60mg everyday, but I think he just wants to be up and moving with his brothers and sister! :)
