4 Months Old

We had Scott's 4 month appointment today ... he is weighing in at 18 pounds, 25 1/4 inches, and has a big head! The boy is huge, and healthy! We are so blessed. He smiles all the time, and it takes a lot to make him upset. This 4 months has flown by, but we all love being a family of 4. Life is good!

Santa and Cookies!!

For the first time I was brave and Will and I baked some cookies ... he had a blast, we made a mess, and it was worth it! So, cookies are ready for Santa, and so is Will! I have a feeling little man is going to be very happy Christmas morning. He has let Santa know he wants a police car. I cannot wait to see if he gets it :-)
We visited Santa today also. The boys did great. Will was all smiles, and Scott was prefectly content with some stranger holding him!

San Antonio

Patrick and I took Will to San Antonio for a night...just the 3 of us. He has settled in so well to being a big brother, but we know he misses having us all to himself. So, we thought a little getaway would be perfect. At first he was upset that Scott was not going ... he thought we were leaving him by himself! Once we explained he was going to Baytown, it was okay. We left Scott in Baytown Saturday night and headed home so we could get up and get on the road early. Will is a great traveler. He looks around, sings, talks to us and enjoys being in the car. Once we got there (after a stop at Bucee's of course!!) we checked into our hotel, and headed out to explore. Will wanted to see guns and swords (totally random request, he is ALL BOY) so, we took him to the Alamo. He enjoyed it, but it got old pretty quick...you do have to be quiet! We then took him to the Children's Museum and he had a blast! He played, learned, and grocery shopped. Afterwards we grabbed lunch and all took a nap in the hotel (heaven!). We wanted to wait until dark to do the boat ride so that we could fully enjoy the lights. He thought the boat ride was the greatest thing ever ... and kept telling people, "This is my first time in San Antonio!" We had dinner afterwards, and took him to eat ice cream. This morning we enjoyed a little San Marcos outlet shopping, then rushed to Baytown because we all missed Scott. It was a wonderful day/night alone with our oldest boy. We wanted him to know Mommy and Daddy love him very much...even though he has to share us now!

They grow up so fast...

Big Brother and Little Brother ... where did my itty-bittys go??
