Four Months & Skinnydipping

Kate is 4 months old!  She is by far our easiest baby yet.  She is happy most of the time & smiles lots for us.  There have actually been times that I’ve wondered if there’s something wrong with her because she sleeps so much.  She doesn’t sleep through the night yet, but goes right back to sleep after she eats and takes great naps during the day- when she’s not being carted around to a sibling’s school, gymnastics, swim lesson, etc.  At her 4 month check-up the doctor noticed the back of her head is a little flat & she hasn’t rolled over yet.  I told her it’s because the poor girl spends all her time in her car seat.  And when she’s not in there, she’s sleeping!  I kind of felt like a parenting fail after that, so we’ve been making a concerted effort to give her more tummy time.  I guess these are just 3^rd child problems.   I’ve never noticed my brother having a flat head, so I bet hers will round out, too.

Baby Kate even got to join in the fun.

We have been so fortunate to have a friend of a friend teaching the kids swimming lessons this summer.  It has been such a good set up for us, and she is so patient with our kiddos & all their funny little quirks.  Austin has never liked wearing wet clothes.  His swimsuit is no exception.  So he now takes swimming lessons in the buff.  I just don’t see that going over real well at Miller.  No shortage of character in this house!

Families, Dehydration & a Growing Girl

Not feeling very wordy tonight.  Here are some pictures from the last month:

We got to go to Waco for Mother’s Day to spend a little time with family & let Kate & Caroline get to know each other a little.

Addison had her tonsils out a couple weeks ago.  She hit a little rough patch & had to be readmitted to the Children’s Hospital.  7 needle sticks, 3 IV’s (she kept pulling it out), about 12 cups of ice cream & 37 showings of Toy Story later, she’s back to herself.

Kate is 3 months old now.  Okay, 3 ½.  Here are her pics.
