Owen's 4th Birthday

Owen turned 4 in mid-September.  Since we live pretty far from most of our family, we ended up doing a couple web-cams with people so that they could see him open his presents.  Unfortunately, we then didn't get pictures of that stuff :(  Grandma and Grandpa Weyer had a good Toy Story theme going on - we got a woody and buzz, Toy Story T-shirt, pajamas, and playing cards!  Auntie April had a card game theme going on giving him many great games suchs as Old Maid and Skip Bo Junior.  Uncle Dan and Aunt Amber sent us a couple of Husker T-shirts so that we can wear our colors even in a different state!  Mommy, Daddy and Quinn got him some pajamas, Toy Story underwear (can't believe grandma didn't get him that too!) and a buzz lightyear computer. 

We still didn't do a big party for him, but we did go to Chuck E Cheese on a Sunday afternoon (much better than a Friday or Saturday evening.

Owen definitely likes his pizza but getting him to sit down and eat it with all that other stuff going on around him was a slight challenge! 

We decided to invite his "best friend" from school this time and him and his Mom were able to come.  Aidan got him some really cool toys include a ramp trick for a hot wheel

Owen was finally able to go up into the slide thing this year without getting scared.  You can barely see his head here but I was lucky enough for him to sit still long enough to take this!

Trying skeet ball, still not great but we can at least get the balls up there this time!

Finally, we got him and Aidan to stand stll long enough for one picture!



We made some of Owen's favorite cupcakes - chocolate with peanut butter cream cheese frosting.  Sorry, no pic of those here, but here is a picture of the ones we made for school (no peanuts allowed!)  Might not be able to tell in the pic, but we dyed the frosting a light blue!

Overall, it was a pretty good birthday for Owen.  Can't believe that he is 4 already and probably going to be in kindergarten next year!

Quinn is 4 months (a couple weeks ago :) )

Quinn turned 4 months almost two weeks ago and I'm just now getting to post about it!  Can you tell it has been a busy month? 

Quinn has been sleeping pretty well at night (generally get up once a night to give her her pacifier and then she is back to sleep).  She has been getting about 10-11 hours of sleep at night.  She has started laughing a lot and responding a lot when we sing her songs.  I put her on her tummy the other day and in less than a minute she had pushed herself onto her back (which I could tell surprised her as well!)

Just this last week we have been a little bit rougher but she isn't feeling good.  She had a fever and was spitting up more than normal so we went to the doctor.  Poor thing got her first blood draw and urine sample (via catheter).  She is on anitbiotics which luckily I can just add to her formula. 

4 month stats:

Weight - 12 lbs 3oz (25th percentile)
Height - 23.5" (25th percentile)
Head circumference - don't remember :(
Clothing size: primarily 3-6 months, still a few 0 - 3 months
Diaper size: 1 and just getting into the new "1-2" size


Finally, some of her 4 month pictures!  Enjoy!
