Matthew's 4 Month Check Up

I can't believe our little caboose is already 4 month old. He had his 4 month check up on Dec. 30th. He had to have 3 shots. Poor baby! He did great though. His chunky little legs made it easier for him. He is happy and healthy! He was sleeping so great all night long and now he is back up to eat again in the middle of the night. He is just growing, growing and gets hungry. He started on cereal. I bought the oatmeal kind first but it seems to really bother his stomach. I'm going to switch him to rice and see how he does with that. He is teething and drooling like crazy! I'm sure a little bottom tooth is in his near future. Here are the 4 month stats from all 3 kids. Matthew is for sure the biggest!

6 Christmases

Yes, you read that right...6 Christmases! See if you can stay with me as I try to explain how our Christmas Break went this year. It was a whirlwind, that's for sure! It was great to see everyone but by the time we had our last Christmas celebration we were all so exhausted we couldn't see straight.

Our 1st Christmas Celebration was with Supper Club on December 15th!
Lobello, I'm not sure how you were not in a single picture but we know you were here!

Our 3rd Christmas Celebration was in Fort Mill, South Carolina!
This time we traded in Jason for Aunt Amber, Tate, and Tucker. We took a road trip to South Carolina to surprise my cousins on Monday night when they all arrived there for Christmas! The seating arrangements didn't work out like we thought they would and Amber and I ended up both driving to SC with the 5 kids. It was a blast! Everyone got to meet Matthew! December 23-24, 2013

Landon was the worst this year to sleep away from home. That is why he is the only child in these pics. We adults always do our presents after the kids go to bed.
