4 Months and School Parties

Wow! We have had a lot going on lately. Lucy turned 4 months old yesterday. We went to the doctor on friday and she weighed in at 13 lbs. 14 oz. She also slept through the night (from 9:30 to 7:30) on friday night--YAY!!! We are hoping that will be happening more often! Lucy smiles all the time--especially when you get her out of bed in the morning, she is so excited--it is the sweetest thing! This morning at church she started growling....and has been the rest of the day. I'm not sure if she can't figure out how to coo at us or if she just prefers to growl right now, but it is cute either way. Her other favorite things right now are to drool and to put EVERYTHING in her mouth, especially her hand/thumb. We are trying very hard to not allow her to suck her thumb, but I have a feeling she is going to get her way. She also loves to stand up, I hope that doesn't mean that she is going to be an early walker--I need her to sit still as long as possible. Here are a few cute pictures from the last few days.











Cooper and Emily had their Christmas Party at school on friday morning. First each class sang a song in chapel and then they went outside to see Santa. They had a great time and they were super excited to get to leave school after the party was over. They are out of school for the next 2 weeks--hopefully we will have plenty to do to keep us busy!

Cooper said he got a little nervous with the big crowd of people in chapel, I can tell he was nervous in this picture...


The kids with Santa...



the school arranged to have Santa come in on a horse drawn "sleigh"--it was pretty neat...



all the kids got to ride around the parking lot with Santa. They had a great time!!
