Big Brother, Little Sister & Tonka Trucks

Chopsticks

We ordered in Chinese tonight and Wes wanted to use chopsticks so he could be just like Daddy. You'd be amazed at how much the little guy was able to scoop up! He had an empty plate and a big belly poking out to prove it. He made sure to save room for the fortune cookie though. :)

And the Jumping Continues!

Remember the blog post of Wesley jumping in the jumperoo? It's Addie's turn! She doesn't quite jump yet, but she seems to like the new seat. Wesley was a gentleman and showed her how all the little toys operate. Then when Addie was done he took his turn and showed her what this thing could really do. That's right! He still likes the ol' jumperoo. I guess that's one benefit of not weighing much.

How Addie Kicks it in Her Free Time

Oh dear! Looks like she has her mother's determination. :)

And her Daddy's laid back style. :)

The Great Escape

We knew it was bound to happen, we just didn't know when... After Wes went down for his Saturday afternoon nap Ben and I heard a door creak through the baby monitor. We looked at each other and said, "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?". I quickly and quietly walked up the stairs and as I turned down the hall I saw Wesley gently closing his bedroom door. When he swung around to come down the hall he saw me and stopped dead in his tracks. He had the funniest expression on his face. You could tell he wasn't sure how I was going to react. I smiled and asked him if he climbed out of his crib. He smiled back. I brought him downstairs to tell Ben the funny story before attempting to put him back in his crib a second time. He climbed out even quicker than the first time. The crib was then quickly converted to a toddler bed and Wes thinks he is so cool now. I'm sure he is kicking himself for not thinking of climbing out sooner. :)

Surprisingly, Wes has transitioned really well. We didn't know how we were going to make sure he actually slept and how to keep him from playing with his toys or just coming out of his room. Knock on wood, it hasn't been a problem yet. :) The picture above is how we found him when we checked on him before we went to bed Saturday night. His crib didn't come with a toddler bed siderail. On Sunday I picked him up one so that he can't fall out now. :)

Addie's 4 Month Stats

At Addie's four month appointment today she weighed in at 13 lbs. 1 oz (45th percentile) and she was 25 inches (75th percentile) long.

Hot Stuff!

Addie think she's hot stuff and rightly so! Baby girl rolled over for the first time today at 16.5 weeks old. She was all smiles when she finally conquered what she has been working hard on for the last week. I was happy that I was able to witness it. Go Addie go!
