Family, Family, Family!

So for the first time in 6 1/2 years we are all together at the same time in the same house! Crazy that it took this long but it was always bad timing in the past for one or more of the members of the family. It is nice to see my brother and his wife and baby girl (who isn't a baby anymore...she is 2 1/2 and has a mind of her own...she is so big and talks in sentences and loves to sing and dance). It is so cute to see her around Decovin too, which she likes to call "Covin", she will hug and kiss him and try to entertain him...she will be a good big sister! Good thing too, b/c she will have a little sister in August! :-)

Anyway, I will try to post some pictures later of everyone when we upload them...we are getting a family portrait taken on Thursday...should be interesting with 9 people...TTFN!

4 months

So Decovin is offically 4 months old today! I can't believe it! He is already eating cereal (still learning a bit) and soon will start veggies. We will hold off on the fruit so to make sure he eats the stuff that is good for him first. Sweet stuff comes later. CRAZINESS!

Sunday was Mother's Day and it was a great day. Bob gave me the "day off", if-you-will and got up with Decovin and fed him so I got to sleep in a bit...then I got to scrapbook all day while he watched him. I didn't have to change one diaper all day! It was awesome! He made me breakfast too! He wanted to do "breakfast-in-bed" but I woke up too soon. **oops!** Well anyway, we went to dinner that night also and had steak and shrimp, it was really yummy! So for a first M-Day, it was pretty great. Oh and did I mention that Decovin got me a card?! :-) It was so cute!

Also, Grey's Anantomy ROCKED! I can't believe the season is over, but I won't say anything in case some of you missed it...but let me just say...WOW!

Cinco De Mayo

So, this past weekend was fun. Mandy, Stacy, Ruthie, Judy, Nathan and Abby all came by for a visit. We had Enchiladas (American Style, I'm sure! haha!) and Spanish Rice and Guacamole and SALSA! It was a true Cinco De Mayo...well for us anyway! It was fun and we also semi-celebrated Amanda's 26th B-day too! There was no cake but Snickerdoodles were present!

Today, Decovin went to the pediatrician for his 4 month well-baby visit and got some more immunizations. It went well. He is now 15lbs. 8 oz. and is 25 1/2" tall. He was in the 75th percentile for his height (this shocked us b/c we are both so short), 30th percentile for his weight (surprised both of us b/c he likes his food) and 50th percentile for his noggin. :-) Lots of brain matter I suppose...
Anyway, he is healthy and we like to hear that. She said we could start him on rice cereal and in two weeks add fruits and veggies...I can't believe he is ready to eat food! Where did the time go? He also has a bit of dry skin she called something like Pseriosis, but different...can't remember the name...anyway, it is on his ear and above his eyes and she prescriped some hydrocortazone (sp?) to put on it twice a day...hopefully this works...
Well, this is all I have to report at this time.

My New Favorite Pictures

Isn't he cute? I just want to squish him all the time! :-) He's my little guy and I love him!
