Santa visit

While we were up in Portland for Christmas, we took the boys to see Santa. I was very surprised that there were no melt downs. Jake walked right up to Santa and sat on his lap for the picture. (Maybe it helped that I told him he could have a piece of candy. The whole way there he was saying candy... whatever works!)

4 months

Luke is 4 months already! I really cannot believe how fast these past 4 months have gone. He is such a wonderful baby. He is happy almost all of the time. He just looks around waiting for someone to look at him and then he gives them his big dimply grin. At night, he is sleeping a 9 hour stretch, and then he eats and goes back to sleep for another 3-4 hours. I feel so lucky to have a baby that sleeps! He is still breastfed and eats every 2-3 hours during the day. He rolled over for the first time from tummy to back on Christmas day. He has started sucking and biting on his fingers. Luke has really started to notice Jake. He watches him very closely. He loves to lay on his play mat and hit at his toys.

I'm not sure what his height/weight stats are, we go to the Dr. in a few days.

Here are a few pictures from 4 months.

Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving this year, we made the drive up to KC to spend the holiday with Kirk's family. It was a long drive with 2 kiddos, but we made it! We both agreed, that no matter how much money it saves us, we won't be driving again, we will fly. It was wonderful getting to spend time with the whole family. Here are some pictures from our trip.

The whole crew!

Such a good natured little boy!

Eva and Jake playing. They thought it was funny to wear the toys as "hats".

Grandad meeting Luke for the first time.

Grammie visits

My mom came to visit the week before Thanksgiving. We are trying to get our house ready to put on the market and she was a HUGE help to me!

Jake being silly. He wanted to wear my glasses, and then wouldn't take them off. I think he looks pretty good in glasses!

Halloween

I have gotten horrible about blogging, so I will just try to catch up!

Here are some pictures from Halloween. Jake was Superman! We went trick or treating at a nursing home, a fall festival at the Y and on Halloween night. Luke was a baby for Halloween, and he did a great job being a baby! :)

Jake is all about trucks right now, so he was very excited to be able to sit in a real firetruck!
