Jordyn is now 4 mos. old. 15 lbs, 8 oz. at her appointment, putting her right at the 80th percentile. She's been getting so good at rolling over and scooting that we'll put her down and find her 3 feet away from that spot when we return a minute later. Her head control is amazing. At her 4 mo. appointment, the doctor said she is performing tasks at a 6 mo. level. She doesn't think it will be soon before she's able to sit unassisted and then, soon after, crawling. She gets up on all fours but hasn't figured out how to move the arms/legs while up.
She's got the most amazing personality. She is incredibly social. She smiles at just about everyone she sees as soon as they say hi and smile at her. She spends her weekdays at daycare with 3 other boys and is constantly googled over. She has been napping great at daycare (2-3 hour stretches) but somehow hasn't mastered that on weekends for me. Her sleeping at night isn't great - she needs to eat every 2-3 hours. My supply isn't keeping up with her so we do formula bottles occasionally. It's turned her "stinkies" into a funky green color which has been oh. so. enjoyable. :)

| Hi! |

| She's got the Mason pout! |
Mason turned 5 on Monday. He just had his appointment and is a heavy 31 pounder. He's doing great in school and at daycare. Grandma Duck watches him before and after school on Mondays and Wednesdays and he goes to a daycare in Point on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. All the ladies in daycare love him. The other day, a girl named Emily was saying "ow, ow" when sitting near Mason because he had grabbed her hair. The teachers said "Emily, don't sit so close to Mason or he'll get your hair" and she responded "but I liiiiiiiike it." The ladies wipe his nose, get him toys and show him books. :)
We just had his annual IEP meeting for school. It's crazy to think he's going to be in kindergarten in September. He's making progress in school, but its slow. They continue to find new ways to challenge him and keep him motivated. Its safe to say that he is very much loved both at school and daycare.
He's finally healthy after a 6 week stretch of some ear infections. He also had a cough for about a week but that seems to have passed. He's sleeping great and loving being back in a routine (and so do we).
Mason is loving his sister. He understands when we need to take a break from feeding him to attend to her. He likes to roll over and touch her face or hands. They watch cartoons together in the morning while we get ready to go. They are quite the pair. :)
We're getting ready for Mason's birthday party this weekend. I am going to make my first attempt at a home-decorated train cake. I still can't believe we have a 5 year old boy.
The kids want to take this opportunity to say hi to Papa:
I love these kids. They are so perfect.
