Pumpkin Sunday

Yesterday, the three of us went over to Grandma and Grandpa P's for some pumpkin carving, pumpkin cookie and seed snacking, and a nice fall dinner (think honey butter, squash, and baby purple potatoes ... yum!).

Thanks for having us!

Reading with Daddy!

Just Another Trip to the Park!

Hard at Play ;)

So Happy To See Stacy!

On Friday, October 5th, my good friend Stacy was in from Virgina. Although her visit was brief, we were so happy to coordinate a time to see her! Stacy came over around lunchtime, and was able to play a little game of catch with Ky. He's so thankful for the adorable dress coat she brought with her, and can't wait to wear it to meet Santa this Christmas! Thanks, Stacy!!! Come again soon ;)

4 Shots for Kyle's 4 Month Check-Up

This morning was Kyle's 4 month check-up. Everything went very well. He seems to be growing by the day and is now weighing in at 15 pounds 10.5 ounces (50th percentile) and measuring 26 inches (close to the 90th percentile). While we were there Kyle rolled over twice, held on tight to the doc's stethoscope, drooled all over the table, and took 4 shots in the thigh like a champ! Unlike at his two month visit, Kyle cried, but wasn't really hysterical. He pushed back his tears as soon as Mommy picked him up and gave him a little squeeze ;). Daddy came with us this time for support, and the three of us celebrated Kyle's good growth report with jumbo hot dogs and cheese fries at Portillos. Poor little Ky slept the whole time, Screamers ghost doll tightly nestled under his arm. We lovingly joked that maybe all we have to do is give him a couple of shots if we want to go out to eat instead of worrying about a babysitter ;) The doctor also said that Kyle is so strong/alert/big/whathaveyou that he is probably more than ready to start solid food - things like rice cereal or oatmeal. I'm a little nervous about starting this new phase, so we might hold off a few more weeks while we read up on all the literature she gave us.

4 Months Old!
