Hotel Week

Aaron had another class last week down in Alpharetta, GA. I was going to be the brave wife and stay home all week, but you all know me....I tagged along! The little ones need their evening daddy time and I need an adult to talk to at the end of the day! ;-) It was a nice week and for the first time ever Aaron didn't have to do a bunch of homework in the evenings. We visited favorite restaurants, cruised the mall, took a few drives around town, and watched cable. We don't have any TV here at home, just dvds on the big screen, so it was actually kind of fun to watch commercials and see all the junk we didn't know we needed. The week was also a great chance for me to be able to sit back and enjoy my little ones without the pressure of housework, yardwork, laundry, cooking, and the other million things we moms do in a day. Here's a look at the kiddos chilling in the hotel.

Rub-a-dub-dub...its chub in the tub!

Loving on her baby brother.....he looks a bit concerned he'll be squeezed to death

Levi is getting so expressive!

To be or not to be....?

Rebecca with a favorite book....she's my girl for sure!

Short and Stout

Yesterday Levi had his four month check-up, right on his four month birthday. These few months have flown and I am already seeing so many milestones passsed. He's a baby now, no longer my helpless newborn. Sunday night he rolled from his tummy to his back for the first time. Now when I lay him down for tummy time he automatically flips himself and then lies grinning at the ceiling over his accomplishment. At his appointment he weighed 15 lb. 7 oz. and was 24 inches 'tall'. That puts him in the 63rd percentile for weight (a nice average size) and the 18th percentile on height. Looks like he'll be our little dumpling baby for some time to come.

We need to talk. (bubby's serious face)

Morning grins and messy hair.

Pumpkins, Squash, and Cuties!

Its been an interesting week here to say the least. On Tuesday morning I went to put Levi in his crib for a nap and threw out my back in the process. I'll spare everyone the details, lets just say I've spent a lot of time lying on the floor, lying in bed, crawling around.....you get the idea! Aaron was my hero once again and has taken a couple days off work to take care of our babies, since mommy has been unable to do so. Today I feel much better and after being cooped up in the house almost unable to move it was nice to take advantage of this beautiful weather and take the kiddos to a nearby farm. I think it was more than enough movement for me, but a nice outing and Rebecca had so much fun picking pumpkins for out front stoop.
