What we have been doing?

We have been busy, busy, busy at our house. This post is about a little bit of everything. Here are some pictures from the last few weeks. We have been to the Minot State University pow wow, had a pine car derby race, spring concerts and graduation. It is hard to believe that another school year has gone by. Now we are preparing for our summer.

Gabriel, how did you get into Gramma's chair?

I see you had some help.

Baby or Jolly Green Giant?

I took Gabriel for his 4 month shots and check up. I knew that he has grown, but I didn't realize how much. In Gabriel's world, apparently at four months you're supposed to grow 4 inches and gain 4 pounds. I hope he doesn't think that when he checks in for his 6 month that he has to have grown 6 inches and gained 6 pounds. If that's his pattern. YIKES!

Yesterday, he weighed in at 18.1 lbs. (4 lbs. gained in two months). His head circumfernce was 17---two month was 13. At two months he was 23 3/4 inches long and yesterday was 27 3/4 inches long. He will soon be too long for the most lovely carseat borrowed from Tina. So much for being in an infant carseat for almost a year, like his brother. He's working on a couple of teeth. He also has an ear infection. Otherwise he's just been growing and growing and growing.
