They are doing new things, reaching new milestones, and keeping us on our toes!
Ellie:
She is now four and a half months old! She is eating cereal. In fact, we went to the doctor yesterday and he said the "average" amount for a baby her age to drink per bottle is 5-6 oz. Let me follow that "statistic" with what our little munchkin drinks - 8 oz! He said that we should try cereal 2-3 times per day and try to reduce the milk consumption down to about 6-7 oz (per bottle). The thing is, she still seems STARVING after 5 oz. So more cereal it is, and she actually is doing really well with it. She did get shots yesterday which resulted in a low fever, but nothing a little motrin can't kick. And she is now over 16 lbs. She is in the 96th percentile for her weight and the 99th percentile for her height! She is definitely growing!
Preston:
Let's just say that he doesn't pee the bed. :) For the last 4 nights the little stinker gets up at approximately 4:00 every morning in order to wake us up to tell us that he needs to go potty. Again, I'm not complaining... He doesn't pee the bed. But Danny has been trying to train him to just go potty without waking us up. I think I'll take what I can get.
Kaden:
Tooth-fairy, here we come! Kaden had a dentist appointment today. I guess I just haven't really looked in his mouth much lately because he had an adult tooth coming in behind his bottom front two teeth. Therefore, the dentist pulled his two front teeth out of the way. One of the teeth came really quite easy because it really didn't have much of a root. The other tooth, however, was rooted down deep. I swear the thing was OVER a half an inch long! Anyway, he was a good sport with only minor yelps as the dentist yanked on that thing with all his might. Needless to say, the tooth-fairy is feeling a little more generous with how these teeth came out.
Well, that's it for now. Kids grow and we, as parents, get to experience each new thing. Ya gotta love it! :)

And still with all the experiences we have -- we NEVER experience it all. Kids ALWAYS come up with new and exciting?? ways to "surprise" us! :)
2 posts in one month. I am amazed, and shocked, and happy, and you know, and the other, and I'm done. You guys ready to move wherever law school takes us?
Fun to read whats going on with your cute kids! Wow I can't believe how big Ellie is getting!! We really need to get together sometime. We miss you guys!!
Poor Kaden! It's hard to believe that he's old enough to start losing those teeth. Preston... let's just say that I'm just jealous that he goes in the potty... I HATE potty training (we're going through that right now). Ellie M... BEAUTIFUL!! What more can be said.
I'm so glad you are keeping your blog up. It is so fun for this grandma to see her grandkids this way since I don't get to see much of them. They are so cute and growing way too fast. Thank You with LOVE to you all.
