I need a nap. Unfortunately, my house feels like I have been napping for the better part of a year and in the meantime a giant tornado blew through it creating much havoc. But I'm pregnant- and right now, there's just not much I can do but give in to the urge to lay down and sleep for a little bit.
I do have birthday pictures to post... and I'm sure I owe the occasion more than an "It was great!" but really... that just about sums it up. The party was a lot of fun- despite a lack of anything resembling a decent nap- Brody did great, and seemed to have a fantastic time playing with all of this friends. I just wish that I could have spent a little more time with everyone- but when you divide 2 hours into 40 people, I guess it just doesn't work too well. Not to mention that there were things like presents and cake and such that required my attention and took away about an hour and a half of that 2 hours. =) But it was wonderful. And my baby is now officially not a baby anymore, and there are mixed feelings about that around here. I have to wonder if I would be crying less about it if I weren't so tired and hormonal! =)
We also had his one year check-up yesterday... he did great with the shots... he weighs 24 pounds, 13 ounces... he is 31 inches tall... both of which put him squarely at 75% for kids his age- and mean his mom is a pretty good estimator at how big he is! =) He is developmentally right on track and she is pleased with how well he is doing. She did say he is working on the top tooth that still hasn't poked through, and not one molar like I thought... but 3... FUN!
OK- he finally gave in, so I am off to nap as well!

Please don't faint
I would hate to think that my reappearance had caused someone to pass out- so hopefully you all survived the shock.
We are plugging along. I think I can safely say that we are all over the stomach flu that we've been dealing with. (Have I mentioned that I got it TWICE???) Brody seems to be feeling much better- and I think I have managed to go 2 whole days without throwing up. YEAH!
Today Brody is getting his first haircut. I am a little sad about it- it's the start of a week long of first birthday stuff. First haircut, first birthday pictures, first birthday party... I'm tearing up just thinking about it. My baby is turning one and won't be a baby anymore. It just doesn't seem possible.
But anywho... (to avoid all out tears!) the tadpole is doing great. We got to see her (no, we don't know- I just don't like saying "it") at our 12 week prescreen last Friday. Everything came back completely normal. We have a very active little one in there. Our sonographer had a hard time measuring because tadpole kept moving so much. It was very cute, and a relief to see after spending so much time dehydrated and feeling crappy lately.
Brody is very close to walking. He will take a step or two as he falls into me- but still has a little ways to go in the balance department. I think the coolest thing is that I've really started to notice how much he wants to walk. Most of his playgroup friends are a little older and are walking- and he just stares and stares at them. He's not really content to crawl, and prefers to walk with mom's assistance while we are with them. I guess peer pressure starts young!
Since posting 2 days in a row is quite unlikely, I figured I would post some pics early... enjoy!
Seriously? How cute is this hat?

Brushing his teeth!
"GET THIS HAT OFF OF ME!!!! Can't you see I'm a Steeler's fan?"
Hmmmm....
"What do you mean the lettuce crisper isn't supposed to go on my head?"
No matter how many toys we put in the bath- the only one he plays with is the temperature checking duck!

The Stats
He weighs 18 lbs 15 ounces, and he is 27 1/4 inches tall. Which means that he's slowed down the growing a bit and is now right around 75th percentile for both...
The rest of the appointment went well- the shots are always no fun, but there were only 3 of them, and he finished a bottle right afterwards, so he immediately forgot about it. She is very excited about his development and thinks he is doing great. He's starting finger foods... YIKES! Just drives home how fast my baby is growing up! =(

4 months
So our darling little boy turned 4 months old on Wednesday. He is 1/3 of a year old already! And wow... is he growing. Our little Jelly Belly is 26 1/2 inches long (according to my grandpa's baby book that makes him an inch and a half longer than my 6'8" grandfather was at his age... ummm... yikes?) It also puts him in the 92nd percentile for height. He weighed 16 pounds, 9.5 ounces. Which puts him squarely in the 90th percentile for weight. His little head though? It's only in the 25th percentile... (though that's up from the 12th, so I guess that's progress...)
And then there were shots. =( Can I tell you how hard it is now that he looks in my eyes, and you can just tell that he's thinking "mommy, why are you letting her hurt me?" It just KILLED me!
But he's healthy, and he's only had some short grumpy times over the last day or two... no fever, and just a little more tired than normal.
So yeah... that's about all she wrote. A little boring, but around these parts, boring ain't so bad. =)

Growth Spurt
So my (almost) 4 month old, already looks big enough to be at least 6 months old. He's HUGE! the only person who doesn't seem to think so is my boss... who just so happens to have a little boy who is one day older than the Jelly Belly, and happens to be even bigger. Crazy... I think when we go to the doctor next week for his four month check up he'll be 17 pounds, and about 26 inches. (That's just a guess because it's been quite some time since we've put him on our scale or measured him...)
The biggest issue that I have with this growth spurt is that he now can only go about 6 hours without food. =( So we feed him at 9:30 and put him to bed, but he's up at 3:30 with his little tummy growling (I can actually hear it rumbling!) And then? The best part? He doesn't really want to go back to sleep. Matt's better than I am. He rocks him or puts him in the swing until he falls asleep. I've taken to bringing him into our room as he almost always falls right asleep if he's laying with us.... plus then I can sleep too. Except that I don't usually sleep, but ya know- the possibility is there.
