School Routine

We are starting to get into our school routine. I'm still not thrilled with Aubrey going to school every day all day, but we are getting used to her being gone during the day. For the first few weeks, Chloe followed me around like a lost puppy wanting me to play with her constantly, but we've now figured out a good balance between me playing with her and her playing by herself. Coye's also got a pretty good eating/napping schedule. He tends to take a longer afternoon nap, so I generally get a little stretch to get a few things done while he's napping. We haven't been up to too much lately - it's kind of nice being able to stay at home and get things done around the house. Even though my staying home means making at least two trips to school every day. :)

One of my friends let me use her Bumbo seat. Coye likes being upright and he looks so big sitting in it!

Look at those chunky cheeks!

A little tummy time - before he gets angry

Wearing Chloe's pink glasses - he looks hilarious!

4 Months Old!!

This month Coye turned four months. Four months! Crazy how fast time flies by. I think I say that every month, but I really am shocked by the fact that he's this old already. He went for his four month well check this week and is doing great. He now weighs 14 pounds and 7 ounces and is 26 1/2 inches long. He's in the 50th percentile for weight and the 90th percentile for height. He's getting so big and filled out! He rolled over twice for the doctor, but he doesn't do that much at home. He loves people and smiles pretty easily at anyone who talks to him. He is very ticklish and laughs when you either tickle him or laugh at him. He's becoming more vocal and coos and squeals. His most favorite place to be is laying on the ground. He loves to stretch out under his gym or just look around. He's started to roll onto his side, but doesn't yet roll from his tummy to his back. He's a pretty happy baby overall. Since school's started, he hasn't been sleeping as good at night. He used to only get up once, but for the past couple of weeks he's been getting up twice. It's been a rough adjustment for me and I'm hoping that he starts sleeping better soon.
