4 Months


Height: barely 24 inches
Weight: 14 lbs. 7 oz.
Head Circumference: 17 inches

Our baby is short and chunky. I know...a chunky Yeates baby. The doctor said don't bother giving him solids and ceral for about 6 weeks. He is flourishing on his current diet. Who'd have thought? It took me three tries, but I finally got it right!

In other development, he is right on schedule!

Guess Who's In Love With His Mama!

All he needs to do is hear my voice to break out in grins. I love it!!

Guess What We Learned Last Night at 2:45 am

Vomit from the top of a six foot bunk bed makes an interesting spray pattern on your carpet.

We also learned that none of the children in your family will sleep whilst you are scrubbing carpets at 2:45 am.

Fun times.

Soccer Man


Kenny has really improved in soccer. We have one more game in the season. Yesterday he kicked two goals, but the goalie got them right before they went in. It is nice to see him having fun and so excited about playing on a team. He LOVES game days!

Sometimes he needs a little encouragement at practice to really get into it. The other day he was running around the field aimlessly pretending to be a shark. I told him the soccer ball was his prey and he needed to swim/run after it. Sounds silly, but it worked!
It was raining during the first half of the game today so we gave Kenny a new fierce hairdo!

An Experiment

I'm trying the new Office 2007 blog post feature. It allows you to type and save your post in MS Word and will automatically post it to your blog. So if this doesn't show up, it didn't work.

We have had lots of fun lately arguing with contractors, dealing with mortgage companies that are holding our insurance money from TWIA, and trying to live life. I have things to post about, but time is a HUGE issue! I am actually at work right (ssshhh, don't tell anyone). My kids are using Bingo dotters to make a fish that they will have to write about later. I haven't told them about the writing part yet…they hate to write. As a whole, my class started the year with poor fine motor skills. So naturally, I make them fine motor practice all the time. Not to be mean, they just need it.

I had a nice Mother's day. I got some new clothes and my husband made dinner, affectionately known as Korean Crap, for everyone. It was a nice, quite day. Just the way I like it.

Ta-Da!

It's not quite done. The shutters need a bit of work, the garage and front door are not painted yet, and we are still waiting to get the new gutters. But you can get the general idea.

No more Smurf house! No one will be able to navigate in our area using the "bright blue house on the corner" as a landmark. ANd notice my dad and brother Mike took out the ugly Sego palm in the front yard.

Giggles

We've been trying to figure out what makes James giggly (He's so serious compared to his brothers), and we think we've finally found it!
