Spring Break 2017

What a spring break! We did not go anywhere, but Scott took the whole week off to have some fun.  We started the week off at the Muddled Pig to celebrate Aunt Michelle's Birthday.  Gabriel was happy to learn how to clean dishes behind the bar.  

This happy fella loved people watching.

We practiced sitting.
We went to the Y every day!
The boys loved jumping off the side.  B has no fear of jumping in.  Scott did take Bennett to swim lesson this week.  Bennett's love of swimming has greatly improved and he will be moving up to the next level.
We went to the Science Center with our friends.

We had a lot of fun playing until Bennett wiggled out of Scott's arms and fell on his nose.
It bled for a long time and Scott and I were scared he maybe have broke it.  So, off we went to the ER.

Thankfully, he is small enough that there isn't really a bone to break.  But you have a 3 day window to get to a doctor before permanent damage can set in.  After a few days of swelling and another face plant, we went to an ENT to confirm no surgery was needed.  Bennett looked pretty rough for a few days and swelling for a couple weeks.







That was our spring break.  Lots of family time that was needed.  We loved having Dad home with us for the week and our adventures.

4 Months

Thomas Q is 4 months old!  It Seems to be flying by.  Thomas is usually smiling from ear to ear. We have battled a few colds that have kept us up nights.  Which made it hard to tell if he really had much of the dreaded 4 month sleep regression.  When his nose isn't stuffed, he will wake for a quick feeding then back to sleep.  Although there were a lot of nights that he wanted to play for an hour or more before going back to sleep.  I was not a fun mom to be around, thank goodness for coffee.

He has travelled through 3 states and attended his first wedding.  What a busy boy!  His brothers are still happy to make him smile and entertain him.

His 4 month stats are:

Weight - 16lbs 13oz 63%
Height - 2' 2.75" 90%
Head - 40.7 cm 10%

We have a tall little guy!



He hates missing out on things.  He needs to see everything that is going on around him.  His brothers love to make him smile.
