4 months

every month i think, "this month is the most fun." and then another one comes along and it keeps getting better!

Jedidiah...

weighs 17 lbs 1 oz

no longer wears his 0-3 month clothes, which i still leave hanging in his closet in case one day i want to put one of them on. (yeah right...they would be so tight!)

likes to be rocked to sleep in the rocking chair. we have officially put away the vacuum, and the exercise ball has been deflated since we got back from grandma's.

he likes me to pat his little buns as he's trying to fall asleep. if i think he might be asleep or forget what i'm doing and i quit patting him, he gives a really strong kick with both legs and i have to start up again.

started laughing

likes to be thrown in the air (without letting go of him...he still seems too small for that!)

is growing hair on his head in other places besides just his long mohawk.

loves to stand

goes to bed around 10

is starting to stretch out his eating times to 3 hours apart. woo hoo!

wears size 3 diapers (we switched to the leftover pack that was for angelina at christmas. angelina was 1 1/2 then! ha!!)

is told by everyone that sees him "you look like your daddy!" and/or "whoa...look at those rolls!"
is he doing the "young man" part of the YMCA?












The other day we were at the grocery store and an old man on a cart drove by and saw that Jed had just fallen asleep in the Moby wrap. I said, "He just fell asleep. He doesn't like grocery shopping too much."  And the old man said, "But it looks like he sure likes to eat!"  Ha!

(not friday) phone dump



i found this picture in a box of my school stuff as i was cleaning and organizing.  this is what i wrote on the back of the picture (below).  it's from my first year of teaching. i don't remember what happened that day, i just remember it being very very exhausting. my hair is in a rubber band ponytail and my bangs are bobby pinned back. you know that's never a good sign. 


 back to the present...
well, back to june.

yikes!

the disassembled swing. we had a blowout. 


dj often takes the 11:00pm shift and gets him to sleep for the night. 






crooked, but comfy enough to fall asleep.


austin airport

bubbles

i like this picture because it's such a common sight at our house during the morning. monitor --out. fingernail polish--still out because i'm always halfway through doing my nails. kitchen towel-probably out from the night before. toybox lid--probably still off from bentley playing with the toys. 

this is for rachael. i found it digging through some stuff.


we're putting him in the live nativity at church for christmas.  but he won't play jesus, he will play joseph. 

watching the opening cermonies of the olympics. go usa!!

jedi's first rodeo in burwell.  91st year of nebraska's big rodeo.
