Gingerbread house

The girls had fun decorating the gingerbread house and tree! They even snuck in a little candy too!

4 months

At 4 months old, Grant weighs 14 lbs 13.4 oz and is in the 35th percentile and is 62 cm and is in the 20th percentile. He is finally napping longer than the usual half hour! The other day he took a 3 hour nap! He is excellent at rolling from his back to his stomach but not so great rolling from his stomach to his back. As soon as I put him down in his crib he immediately rolls over. I think he may be a thumb sucker too. He is starting to babble more too. He can sit up for a few seconds before falling over and has definitely discovered that his hands can hold on to things pretty tight. Kamryn still loves being the big sister and loves to hold him and read to him. We are excited for his first Christmas!

Tehachapi visit

We went for a quick trip to Tehachapi for the Barlow Christmas. On our way we stopped at Grandma and Grandpa's house to open their Christmas presents. Grant loved staring at his trucks and giraffe. Kamryn was excited about her Scooby Doo game and Macy loved her Sleeping Beauty doll and dress. We headed out to my parents for the Barlow Christmas. Macy got little pet shop animals and Kamryn got a castle she can color. I ended up getting sick that night so it was an early night for me.

Christmas activities

There is a house nearby that has their Christmas light synchronized with music. It is pretty cool and I heard it takes hours just to sync the lights to one song. We made another attempt for a picture with Santa at a local shopping center. Macy had no problem sitting on his lap this time! The only bummer was they were in the sun a little, so the picture quality isn't the best. After that the girls decorated a little stocking. Kamryn had a "Breads for Breakfast" at her school. All of the first grade classes brought some breads from other countries. Each class sang a song. It was cute!

Sunday best

Grant looked so adorable in his white shirt and tie that he wore to church!

Grant's room

While Jeremy had time off we painted Grant's room. I really like the color, now we need to get some boy decorations in there!

End of soccer

We had a little potluck party at Coach Ryan's house. Everyone brought something yummy to eat and the girls all got a trophy. Kamryn was thrilled to get a trophy! She kept breathing hot air on it and then shining it on her shirt. Ha! She had a lot of fun playing soccer even if she was one of the smallest girls on the team.
