Piper's favorite place to be!


A cute picture of Finn.


"Can I help you?"


I love this picture of the two of them!


Piper went for his 4-month appointment on April 28. He weighed 14 pounds 13 ounces, his height was 25 inches and he was right at 50th percentile for both. His head circumference was 16-1/2 inches which is in the 45th percentile. I thought he was bigger than Finley was at that age, but the numbers say they are the same.


He did really well with Dr. Bell and she said he looks great! We are supposed to try to have him on his tummy a little more without the brace in the evening. He absolutely won't lie on his stomach with the brace on (I can't blame him for that), but he will last a few minutes without it. Finley got to go with us and was so excited to see Dr. Bell. I have a feeling I'll have another little boy that loves her. It makes doctor visits very easy!


Here he is showing Dr. Bell his roll! He almost made it...a few more days and he'll have it down!


Here's Piper after his shots. Both boys now have done really well with shots. He got 3 today and didn't even cry with the first 2. He only cried a little bit with the 3rd.


We had to take a family picture for our church directory, so here it is. This was about the 10th time using the timer on the camera...we don't look like we're sick of trying this, do we?


Piper and Finn 'smiling' for a picture.


This video was taken one afternoon after church. Some Piper and Daddy time...


Piper in the jumperoo. His clubfoot is looking better and better now. We will hear May 13 if he gets to have it off during the day and only wear it at night or if he needs to keep it on for a couple more months full time.


In the jumperoo again. He was getting a runny nose from teething...Dr. Bell confirmed that his gums are swollen and that he will probably have a tooth by 5-1/2 months.


Finley getting a good head start on singing "Baa-Baa Black Sheep" before the TV got his attention.


I was just going to take a little video of Piper, but Finn was having none of that. He says "No, wait!" and sits down next to him. He then sings most of "Jesus loves me" before he smashes his finger while rocking Piper.


Finley and I were out on the front porch one afternoon sitting and he decided that he needed to get his own chair. I think it's cute how he sets it up and then just sits down. it was also such a bright afternoon that it was hard for him to look up at the camera. As you will hear, he still says "Misle" for "Smile".


Piper's second and third bites of rice cereal. It didn't take him long to figure out that he LOVED it. Ever since he started on cereal, I've only been feeding him once in the night. Mommy and Piper are both happy campers!
