Look at the picture of Mattie at the table smiling. This is a great example of Mommy trying to take care of two children in the morning. While I was doing Elijah's morning skin routine of "lotions and potions" as we call them, Mattie decided to have some fun with yogurt! Elijah is kinda rolling over. I get him started then he kicks his leg so that he can finish getting onto his back. The first time he did this Matt and I laughed for a while. Mattie never used this kind of technique. These two children are already so very different! Prevacid is helping Elijah. He is not doing the best with eating rice cereal. It kinda sits in his mouth then he pushes it out with his tongue. We will keep practicing! During Elijah's nap we went out in the snow with Mattie. Daddy and Mattie rode down the front hill on a trash can lid. She loved it!!

Here are some more pictures of the kids! The one with the pink blanket is Elijah. I was eating dinner and Matt was washing bottles. I looked over at Elijah and he grabbed the blanket under his head and pulled it over his face. This happened twice. He spits up all of the time so we put blankets behind him so we can protect the chair or toy he is in. We might ought to stop doing this!

Elijah is 4 months old!! He weights 15lbs8oz and 27in long (97th percentile for length 50th for weight). He wears 6month clothes and can more comfortably wear 9months! We started Prevacid because he was still having intense pain with his reflux and a few choking incidents (very scary!). It seems to be helping! He was even eating much less for a week and a half. He is eating better now! He is sleeping until about 5ish to eat and goes back to sleep until about 730/8ish. I am not used to this, Mattie was very different! I will be starting rice cereal as soon as he is taking at least 32oz of formula a day consistently. He has been taking much less due to reflux issues, but is slowly getting back to himself. He loves to smile and laughs when he is tickled! He loves for you to talk to him and he likes to talk back, SO CUTE! Elijah has to be in a location where he can see us or he gets upset. He is starting to know that he can cry and fuss for us to hold him.

We took Elijah to meet Hannah. Mattie stayed behind with her Nona. Matt finally got to meet his beautiful niece Hannah!

Mattie is taking naps again. It is hard work to get her down, but once I can get her to stop playing in her bed she is out!
