Neve - 4 Months Old

Because I need a place to write this down and store her 4 month old weight ...

... Neve is 12 lbs 15 ounces and cute as can be!  Her height I am not sure of because we haven't made it into the Doctors office and it seems like way too much work to try to track down the soft measuring tape, pin down her squirmy self and figure out how to mark the floor.  Let's just say for now, that she is the perfect height!  

Brooks' Weight Check

This past month, we have started feeding Brooks baby food at lunch and dinner. He took so well to it. Mixing the baby food with rice cereal made for a smoother transition that we experienced with his brothers.

He loves to eat!

Yesterday we had his weight chekcup. He grew 2 pounds 3 ounces this past month. Here are his stats:

Weight: 17 lbs 6 oz (3%)
Height: 28.5 inches (39%)

We are so proud of him!

McCabe's 2 Month Check Up

McCabe had his doctors visit today for his 2 month check up. He was a heathy 12 pounds 11 ounces (67%) and 24 inches (80%). He is growing and developing and we love every single milestone that he accomplishes. Praise the Lord for healthy doctors appointments. I don't want to take a single one for granted.

So Different

McCabe is doing well and growing so much! At his 2 day check up he was 7 pounds 9 ounces and at his 18 day check up he was already 9 pounds 3 ounces. Leighton was only about 7 pounds at McCabes age.

McCabe is very different from Leighton when he was this age. McCabe is gaining weight much faster. Leighton was a better sleeper at night (McCabe is still pretty good though). Leighton would never burb, whereas McCabe sounds a lot like his father when he belches. Leighton hated baths and McCabe loves the warm water ... it puts him to sleep. And there are many other differences as well!


Our first week back at church I was telling Tim Rude all the ways that they were different He commented with a smile, "It's almost as if God made each of us as individuals!" I appreciated his pastoral wisdom! It was simple, yet so true. God really does consider all of us individuals and cares for us as individuals. He had us in mind, as individuals, when he died for our sins on the cross, and he even has more thoughts about each of us than the number of pieces of sand on the shores or hairs on our head. Leighton and McCabe are both so amazing and so individual.

Leighton really does love his brother and is growing very attached to him. He gets so excited to be by him and touch him. His face lights up when he first hears him wake up in the morning. Our house has grow a little more noising and even chaotic at times, but it is filled with an exponetial amount of joy as well!
