Trip to Laguna Beach
We went to Laguna Beach for a quick pre-Christmas trip! We played on a beachfront playground (with a real sandpit!!), met with Santa, and tried to have a picnic. I say "tried" because as soon as we pulled out the sandwiches, the birds ATTACKED! Only one seagul noticed us first. He flew right in front of us, stood there staring at us, and the began to squawk over and over again. The other birds quickly took note and came flying over. But they were not as patient as the first bird. We thought they were going to take the sandwiches right out of our hands! They were very aggressive. Even as we put the sandwiches away and began to leave, the birds kept chasing us and trying to get into our bags. Kevin thought it was really funny. He laughed and laughed at the birds!
Mother-Son Weekend!
Last weekend, I was able to take a vacation to Texas to spend time with some of my friends! I call it a mother-son weekend because Kevin came with me! It was easy having just one child!! I enjoyed spending so much time with Kevin.
I had a really great time catching up with friends. Shannon found a great house with huge windows overlooking the ocean. It was so relaxing!
I will hopefully have some pics to post soon!

Intramural Champions!!
First Noel Pageant
One of our friends put on a "First Noel" pageant. Ellie was an angel, and Kevin was cow. The pageant was really a great idea. The kids dressed in homemade, SIMPLE costumes. The narrator read from Luke, and the adults sang Christmas carols. And it's always great when you get another chance to use the Halloween costume!
Ellie Feeds Kevin
Ellie loves Kevin, and the feeling is mutual! Ellie makes Kevin laugh and smile all day.

Kevin and Ellie Bath Time!!
A few days ago, Kevin took his first bath in the bath seat. Ellie loved it, but Kevin was a little more unsure of the whole situation!!

Kevin as Santa
We had a Biz-Kids Holiday party on Monday! Kevin went as Santa! I will have more pics later. I havent been able to download them!
Sleeping Beauty by the Tree
As I said before, it is almost impossible to get Ellie to wear normal clothes at home!
Kevin in the Exersaucer
Kevin started playing in his exersauser last week! He loves it! He has become so social in the last few weeks. He'll just smile and stare at someone from across the room until they notice him!
Trimming the Tree
We picked out a Christmas tree at an on-campus lot. Ellie and Chris ran around playing hide-and-seek in the trees! We brought the tree home and decorated it. Ellie is so proud of the tree! She just stares at it and says, "Isn't it pretty?"

Kevin - 4 months
Kevin has his 4-month checkup next week, so I'll update his official stats then.
I measured him a few days ago, and he was 27 1/2 inches. He weighed 16.5 lbs.
He has learned to make raspberries and loves it! (those ppppp noises babies make with their lips and tounge)
He has also learned to roll over from back to front... This has resulted in a forced end to swaddling! So, sleeping is not going so well right now. We will get it all figured out, though!
- update: As of last night, he rolls over to his tummy when I put him the crib. Then, he sleeps wonderfully!! He is in the middle of his first >2 hour nap in his crib. I can usually only get him to nap that long in the swing!
Visiting Family in Texas
This post is a little bit out of order! We went back to Texas for Thanksgiving. Ellie had a really great time visiting her cousins and grandparents.
She really enjoyed meeting her cousin Jakob. She said, "I tink he's just great!"
