4 months

 

We have lots to post from Christmas, but in the mean time here are some sweet shots of my little monkeys!  Ella is doing really well in school, she has glasses now that she needs to wear to help her read up close, and loves recess the best.  She is a HUGE help to me and is willing to talk and play with Thomas when Mommy needs a break.  As for the little man, we have our 4 month appointment coming up, including shots so I'm not looking forward to that.  I think Thomas is about 15 lbs but I won't know for sure till we go to the doctor.  He has always been strong and for as long as I can remember loves to stand.  I take his hands and he lifts his head and torso up, so I think I might be in for another early walker (Ella walked at 9 months) but if I can get him crawling more I'd be happy.  He loves to suck his hands, even as a newborn.  I thought it was because he was hungry but I think that's just how he's always been.  I'm also wondering if teeth maybe coming soon, we will see.  He is pretty much out of his 3-6 months clothes, something I'm not used too, Ella was always a size behind until she was about one and now I'm having to shop for winter clothes I wasn't planning on.  Thank goodness I like to shop!  Steve and I are happy and loving our life with our little family.  I still can't believe I have a little girl and baby boy, it hits me so hard sometimes that I imagine I'm living someone else's life, but it really is mine and I couldn't be happier.
