four months

yesterday, tucker and i went on a playdate at a bounce place with our preschool department at church while adde played at uncle zack and aunt hollie's house. we spent the afternoon in ada for sweet adde's 4 month check-up. dr. o was so impressed with how big she has gotten as well as her red hair. she was happy the entire appointment, smiling and talking to dr. o, until it came time for the shots! :( needless to say, mommy and tuck got to stop at a peach stand for some peach ice cream on the way home as a reward for surviving the appointment.

at 4 months, adde...

-weighs 13 lbs. 10 oz. she's in the 66th percentile in weight and the 50th in height.
-has found her feet. she grabs them many times a day.
-is grasping toys. while playing on her playmat, she pulls on the toys above.
-started eating cereal. she's still a little unsure about it, so hopefully she'll catch on soon so we can move to veggies.
-is drinking 5 oz. of breastmilk every 2-2 1/2 hours.
-wakes at 3 every morning for a snack before drifting back to sleep.
-adores her big brother!
-took her first vacation to Great Wolf Lodge in Texas with nan and pa and all of the fam.
-takes 3-4 naps a day. her morning nap is her only long nap though.
-squeals...it's so sweet to watch her squeal and grin at us when we acknowledge her!

fourth

i loved watching my kids' faces as they admired the fireworks.

to celebrate the fourth, we went to a parade on saturday morning in edmond. both kids had a big time.

we wrapped up the weekend with a cookout at our house with lots of pops and smoke balls.

cute tuck saying:
matt was telling tuck that we celebrate because we got independence from the britts. so tuck now says we got independence from the "bit$!"!

t-ball

we recently signed tuck up to play t-ball on his cousin sam's team. made the little guy's day, week, and summer! we signed him up the day before his first game, so we had little time to gather up the baseball necessities. the night before the game, we went and bought cleats, pants, socks, and batting gloves (because they are totally necessary in t-ball).







the day of his first game, tuck was so excited. I somehow managed to get a decent nap out of him, and off we went. he had a ton of fans come watch: nan and pa, all his aunts and uncles, gran and papa d, and some of matt's friends from work. he did such a good job. he "smashed" the ball before running to the honking base. i loved watching him play as he grinned from ear to ear. now he wakes up every morning asking if he has a "basaball" game today.
