Thankful for...

FAMILY!

I did a brutal job of taking pictures over Thanksgiving. I think I need to raid my mom's and my sister's camera. I am so thankful to have such great family to spend the holidays with... I'm also thankful for low gas prices so everyone was able to travel more easily!

I should get some credit too though... I think this looks like Lennox too. (No that's not a boy on the left, it's me.)

Who's your Daddy?

Think he might look like his dad or what?

Yum, Yum, Give Me Some... of that good rice cereal

I don't think we will have a problem feeding this big man!

Perfectly Proportioned

Yes people, my child is "perfectly proportioned". That's what the doctor said, so it must be true!

His 4 month stats:
weight - 17lbs 8oz (90th percentile)
length - 26.5 inches (90th percentile)
head - ? (90th percentile)

His ear is all better but getting his 2nd round of shots was no picnic. He woke up about 3am with fever. I don't know how much but I think it was alot! My thermometer said that his fever was 99.7 degrees. Then I took my own temperature and apparently it was 95 degrees?! I think not. (Note to self: don't buy the bunk Walgreens thermometer because it was cheap... spring for the $7 thermometer next time) I kind of freaked out because that means his was probably more like 103. I gave him a fat dose of Tylenol and stripped him down. I put cold cloths on his head and rocked him until about 6. I know a low grade fever is normal with shots but I'm thinking his was higher than it should have been... hopefully he's back to normal today.

Blog Makeover

My friend Kristy redesigned my blog and I think it looks GREAT! Check her out at http://www.designsbykristy.blogspot.com/

The only problem is that picture of me on the right. I look like I just got home from the hospital. I am excused though because I did, in fact, just get home from the hospital. I'm not sure what is up with that raised eyebrow & poof on the back of my head either... kinda scary! Maybe I will take a decent picture soon and we'll replace it?

Sick Baby

Lennox has his first ear infection. I feel like a pretty terrible mom because he's been grabbing his ear since Monday or maybe Sunday. Anyway, I thought maybe he had just found his ear or maybe his teeth were bothering him and making his ear hurt. I was wrong. Hopefully the medicine will kick in and he'll feel better soon. He finally got some sleep last night (as did I) so he should feel a little better because of that.

He did get weighed at the doctor and he's a whopping 17lbs... at least that was the final number I got from Jay. I didn't make it to the weigh-in but Jay told me 18lbs, then he said 17lb 8 oz, then he said 17lb 1 oz.... so, I'm not 100% sure what the baby weighs but I know it's alot. He's not even 4 months old yet!
