Busy week and so tall!

We have had a relatively busy week with something to do everyday! As much as I really like being at home, all day is a bit much. I'm glad we find things to do to leave the house, even if it's just going out for a walk or a run outside. On Sunday (April 6th), we had brunch at Jen & Dave's house. It's always a delicious meal and Colby had some good play time with his 'aunts' and 'uncles'. He has begun pulling his soother out very often now and is even beginning to be able to put it back in by himself. Although sometimes he just gets frustrated because he can't find his mouth and needs some help from Mom or Dad. Colby turned 4 months old on Monday... it's so unbelievable how quickly the time goes. While I miss holding my little newborn baby, I'm loving every minute of him growing up too. He's able to do so many new things... I just wish time could slow down a bit! I'm sure every parent feels like this... We went to Movies for Mommies on Tuesday afternoon with a couple of friends. Colby does really well during the movie... loves to sit and watch the entire thing. Sometimes by the end he's getting a bit anxious to lay down and play, but all in all, he does really well. Yesterday (April 9) was his 4 month immunization appointment at Public Health Nursing. I always dread these days, as I hate to see him in pain and hear that horrible pain cry (so different from any of his other cries!!) He did pretty well after it was all over (despite bleeding a lot!) because I fed him right away and he was fine. When his bottle was gone, he was normal as can be. I didn't give him Tylenol for the rest of the day and he was great... didn't need it, I guess! Tough kid! LOL. What surprised me was how tall he is getting... they weigh and measure him every time. He is 16 lbs. 3 oz. and 26 3/4" long!! He is in the 97th %ile for his height! Crazy! He's catching up to his cousin, Landon, very quickly!! The basement development is coming along... as I mentioned, it's all framed and now my dad and Gerry are working on wiring it. They're almost done, so onto the next stage soon! I can tell this is going to be a long process, but I'm so excited for it to be done and have more room to put 'stuff' from upstairs! Although that also means more cleaning, doesn't it!!?? Enjoy the rest of your week and the absolutely gorgeous weekend ahead... I heard 17 and 20 degrees!!! Wow! Take care!
