This picture is a good example of these two lately. Griffin loves to hold Reid and they both are smiley and silly for a few minutes. Then Griffin says “ok, you can take him now” and he’s ready to be done.

We had Reid’s 4 month well-check this week, a little later than it should be since we were on vacation for his 2 month check up so that one was a bit behind and this one follows suit since the vaccinations are spaced out. He is growing really well and is a healthy boy! He weighed in at 15 pounds, 10.4 ounces (45th percentile), 25.5″ tall (51st percentile), and head circumference 44.2 cm (97th percentile). He is definitely getting longer as we can tell his clothes are getting stretched more when his legs are straight and he’s filling out the co-sleeper as you can see! He got two shots and an oral vaccine. He cried after the second one as it stings pretty good they say. But he recovered quickly and we headed home where he was sleepy for the afternoon and part of the next day.

I’m continually amazed at how neat and tidy Griffin insists on being while coloring! And more apple painting this week, at school. He also did some fun painting at home using foil. Check out the concentration face :).  Our chair arrived this week! Kevin enjoyed relaxing in it while feeding Reid a bottle one afternoon. It’s comfy and it spins around. The floor is a bit slippery for the ottoman though as it moves when you bend your knees and use it as a rest! We’ll have to figure out something to do until we put our rug out when the couch arrives. On Saturday we went to Leeds Farm with the Kesslers for a fun afternoon of fall festivities. There is so much for kids to do there and it was a beautiful and sunny fall afternoon, a perfect day really! We went on a wagon ride, Griffin rode pedal karts, jumped on the orange pumpkin floor, went on a barrrel ride (Laura too, lol), and many other things.  After we left Leeds we went home and picked up the dogs and headed to Mansfield for a short visit since we hadn’t seen Mom and Dad in awhile. It was a short and sweet visit.  Reid is super close to turning over. He makes it most of the way and then usually returns to his back. He’s yet to pull his right arm out from underneath himself. He’s so close!
We keep finding Griffin asleep on the floor of his room near the door! It can be challenging to get in his room to move him to his bed!

And here is a video of Griffin singing in the bathtub this week. I love it when I find him singing songs he has learned at school or vbs or church!
