Look at Me!


So Barrett is beginning to sit up on his own now. He still tumbles over after a short while, but he's sitting none the less. The pictures above are a few more favorites. You gotta love those eyes!

Last weekend was nice. We headed up to the cabin for some family time. It was Barrett's first time there. He seemed to enjoy it. I always love being there, too. I can't wait to go back! Maybe we can get the entire family together again, soon.

Hanging out at home




Barrett is becoming quite the busy body...rolling over, scooting...always busy. I know it's only going to get busier, too. Exciting times. Today we stayed at home while Ben went to help out his brother (his brother just bought a new home). Barrett and I were going to go, too, but Barrett has been projectile vomiting every feeding today (he finally kept a meal down at 5 pm). We thought it best to stay in and rest today instead. Even in those moments of "gross-ness" you can't help but love him.

4 Months Old!!!


Barrett turned 4 months old yesterday!! He sure has been active these past few days!! He continues to roll over from his back to his belly. As you can see in the picture we can't even leave him in one place anymore, because he can flip out of things. Luckily we caught him before anything happened to him. :) Once he's on his belly he loves to give big smiles and try to scoot. I have a feeling he'll be moving before we know it! He continues to LOVE his jumperoo. He really gets it jumping now. Other things going on with him:
:: he grabs for many things
:: he smiles a lot
:: he eats 6 times a day (2 bottles of breastmilk at Sheryl's and 4 feedings with me at home)
:: he coos and is starting to mimic sounds
:: he takes 2 long naps during the day and a few cat-naps
:: he drools all over the place
:: he LOVES sucking on his hands and thumbs
:: he rolls over (more often on his right side)
:: he makes bubbles and a "razz" sound

Barrett continues to amaze us each and every day...AHH life is good.

Happy New Year!!!













We spent New Years Eve first at dinner with Sue and Del. After dinner they said they would babysit Barrett, so we were then able to go over to Ben's brother's place. We played games and rang in the New Year. It was a fun night.

The next morning, Ben went to get Barrett out of the crib and Barrett was on his belly! Later that day Barrett rolled over twice from his back to his belly! Another big milestone! As you can also see in the picture, Barrett loves his new Johnny Jump Up. Thank you great grandpa and great grandma!
