Tag is 4 months old!

Tag is four months old! His well child check went great! He is 22  lbs 2 oz and 27.5 inches long. Big boy. He got 3 shots and didn't even cry! I was expecting the screams we got last time.. but I guess those chubby legs helped cushion the pain. ;) He has been sleepy and really sore today but we are glad it's over. Here are some new things Tag is doing...




  Tag at four months



  • You are officially rolling over! Usually from belly to back but you actually did back to belly first.

  • You laugh at everything, but you really think kids, your dad and Tuf are especially funny.

  • You are starting to put everything in your mouth. It's fun to see you get coordinated.

  • Like I said before, you love Tuf.

  • You spit with your tounge now and blow raspberries while you squeal. It's really funny.

  • You don't just talk anymore, but yell. All the time!

  • You still LOVE your baths. You got your first cold last week so we were using this eucalyptus bubble bath to help you get better and you loved the bubbles. {pictured above}

  • It's funny to watch you get excited because you kick your legs and flap your arms really fast. Sometimes you hit yourself in the face but it usually doesn't even phase you.

  • You love when your dad calls home from work. I always put it on speaker phone and you just smile and talk to him. Dad loves it too. There have actually been a few times when I've been alone in the car with you and you have been crying so I put dad on the car speaker so he can talk to you and you will calm down. You really love your daddy. Melts my heart.

  • You are starting to sleep through the night on a regular basis!! You are going to bed earlier, between 8:30-9, and don't wake up to eat until dad goes to work at 6. Then you go back to sleep til around 9. It's perfect!!

  • When you cry, you cry with an 'M' so it always sounds like you are saying 'mom'... we know its not for real but it's cute. I like it. Your cry is so cute, I feel bad when you are so sad but I can't help but smile.

  • When you are sleepy you love to have your back tickled. Just like your Dad.

  • Your newest thing is when you eat or when you are going to sleep you have to be holding my shirt or your blanket up by your face.

  • You are teething so much right now. You always chew on the same two fingers. Your first and middle fingers on your left hand. Then you right hand plays with your right ear. I think it's just a comfort thing but you always play with that right ear.



You are still just a dream come true. We are so in love you handsome boy.

Sand Hollow

There is this neat little reservoir about 7 miles from our house and we have never been! So this morning we made it happen and I'm so glad we did!

Big Boy Car Seat

So I just had to buy the Chicco Keyfit travel system when I was pregnant. I've LOVED it, but the carseat maximum weight is 22 lbs.
Our little chunker is over 20 now so the straps are real tight and Tag screams EVERYtime he gets put in it. Sooo... It was time for an upgrade.
He loves this one. It's rear facing for now but has different positions and we can face it forward later on and it'll go up to 65 lbs. Hopefully we can use it for a while. ;)

This talk...

Elder L. Whitney Clayton gave an amazing talk in the Sunday morning session of conference this past weekend.
The message was beautiful. I keep going back over it and picking up new things. As great as my marriage is... We can always work on things and strive to be better both individually and together. I loved this quote...

"Marriage is a gift from God to us; the quality of our marriages is a gift from us to Him."

If you get a chance, go read it. No matter how active, inactive, member, non-member... Its a beautiful talk that gives great marital advice.

Here is one more...

Yum.

Tag got a little taste of Dad's Doritos tonight.
I really don't feed him junk... It was just a tiny taste.

He loved it.
