Family February

It was so wonderful to be with family so much of February - especially for my birthday celebrations.  Thanks for coming to visit us!!  We love you!

 

  

Oh Uncle Ray, you are hilarious!!!

 

 

Noah's 3rd Birthday - Part 2

I got to have another birthday party at home this past Saturday with all my friends - I requested a Lightning McQueen theme this time!

 

  

 We played "Pin the Lightning McQueen race car on the race track" to win the Piston Cup!

 

Here I am with some of my friends - whoever Mommy could talk into piling on the couch!

 

  

  

  

I had lots of help opening presents :-)

 

  

  

Total headcount: 22 kids and 18 adults.  WHEW!!!!!

  

One of my favorite gifts: Chick Hicks and his trailer truck.

  

Our best buds :-)

Check out this awesome stamp set from Uncle Ray!

Thanks for coming to celebrate with me Grandma, Grandpa, and Uncle Ray!

Noah's 3rd Birthday - Part 1

I made my annual trip to the UP for my birthday last week and this year I had a little brother to celebrate with me too!

 

Grandma MJ made me a Thomas the Train cake and it was awesome!!!!!  Very tasty too :-)

 

  

 

I opened some great presents like these big construction vehicles from Grandpa Bob and Grandma Chris.

 

Of course I put them to work right away!

 

Grandpa Bob and I filled our week with "man stuff"...

 

 

Check out this tower that Grandma MJ and I built!

 

TIMBER!!!!!!

Koen and I both enjoyed the Thomas book that she gave me too!

 

Koen and Grandpa Bob really bonded on this trip - I think they speak the same language.

 

Koen enjoyed lap-time with Grandma Chris.

But he still gives out the big smiles for Mommy!

 

All that partying really wore him out though - he'd better rest up for my next party in Chicago!

January Wrap-up

We enjoyed a very relaxing month with lots of family time!

 

What?

Hmph, I'd rather be left alone with my rings thank you!

I love jamming to tunes on Daddy's new iphone!

Chipmunk cheeks (i.e. cherry tomatoes)

We ran into my buddy Cayden at the Museum of Science and Industry on MLK day.

Koen's 4-Month Stats

Height: 26 1/2 inches (90-95%)
Weight: 14 lbs, 3 oz (35%)
Head: 16 5/8 inches (50%)

I turned 4 months old this past Monday - time is flying by!  The doc says I'm healthy and growing well...as you can see from the diaper picture below (thanks Mom).  I'm starting to thin out with my height, but the doc says that's normal around 4 months.  I'm eating 5 times a day now and am sleeping from about 7:30pm-7am with 2-3 naps during the day.  I'm pretty relaxed in general and nothing much really gets me upset - except tummy time and getting my nose wiped.  I'm holding my head up really well and love to stand up on Mommy's lap and interact.  However I still have no interest whatsoever in rolling over and am perfectly content to stay on my back, thank you very much.  I'm definitely more on the serious/solemn side as babies go, but I'm getting more generous with my smiles and even gave out a few giggles over the past couple weeks.  Gotta keep the family entertained :-)
