Lucy. 4 months

 This is little miss is 4 months old. FOUR! Shes been super crabby teething lately. Easiest baby and our worst teether by far. Oh man she's given us a run for our money these last three weeks. We never knew she could cry so much or stay awake for so long. . .   But yesterday she seemed to be coming back to her happy chill self, and we sure missed it.

 14lbs  5oz
rolling both ways
loves her hands
starting to grab for things
has the girliest voice
still doesn't take a bottle
wearing 3-6 month clothes but her long body barely allows them to snap up
23 3/4" long
delicious chunky thighs

Getting a picture now a days that no blurry is getting tougher. So wiggly!
Classic lucy faces.

Blurry happy hands.

Lucy still giggle cries when upset. 
She cries when a baby cries, or hears the organ and bagpipes. 


She was so proud herself for getting ahold of the bouncer.  

a first...

We had our first ER visit for someone splitting their head open. We've always said Will will be the first, and he was. He is WILD. I was chasing the boys around the house and Will took a running dive at the couch and jumped and sliced his head on my desk. It was pretty traumatic for Levi to see. Head wounds bleed SO much, and this was no exception. Will was so incredibly brave and calm about it all. He was more mad about the blood on his hands and clothes. Levi was really struggling as we were trying to get the bleeding to stop and just told him he needed to go sit on his bed and say a prayer. Thankfully our exchange student was home so we left Levi at home with her and I drove so Dave could hold the towel on Wills head. I sent a quick text out to my parents to say a prayer for Will and Levi. More so Levi, it was hard to leave him at home so shook up. Will was a total ham at the hospital, if he wasn't bleeding so much Im sure they would've thought we made the whole story up. He had everyone laughing and sat so still for the Doctor. Luckily the glue held enough he didn't need stitches. 



That kid is so resilient, the next morning he woke up total unfazed by it all. I woke up before he did and went to go check on him, he never sleeps past 6:30am. Crawled into bed with him and rubbed his back, his absolute favourite thing. He woke up and first thing he said "mom's I got's an owie on my heads and it doesn't even hurts me." 




Now to get that kid to slow down! He has a dent in his forehead from a month ago. He fell asleep sitting next to Dave on the piano bench while he played and fell asleep and hit his head right on the piano, it was a nasty goos egg. Left a dent in his forehead and now he's gonna have a pretty good scar too. Head wounds heal fast thankfully so 3 more days and it should be good! 

So grateful that it happened when Dave and our exchange student were home, I don't know what I would have done if I was by myself.

Lucy...
Went and saw the Doctor Yesterday about how fussy Lucy has gotten, and it turns out she has 2 ear infections, sore throat, goopy eyes congested and swollen which leads the Doctor to thing a dairy allergy. So we started ear and eye drops to help clear it up and then need to figure out which root we want to go about the allergy. I can go totally off dairy and see if that helps, we can use a sensitive to lactose formula or I can pump and add lacteeze to take out the lactose. Not sure yet what were going to do yet. 


Blurry pictures = happy baby.

My favourites.

Life has kept us on our toes lately. So busy that it's been hard to keep up but in a good way. I have another market this weekend for the baby niche. So I've been busy getting ready for that plus my callings been crazy. Dave's been working tons too. But amongst all our chaos I've been trying to watch the kids more and just soak in the little moments. 

My favourites:

When Lucy smiles it consumes her whole body. When she's tired she giggles and cries at the same time.  



When Will wakes up from a nap he comes running full speed out of his room to find me and kiss me. 



Levi has been coloring so much more. He's loved having homework and learning to read. 



The kids reminding us to read scriptures. We just finished the Book of Mormon with them last week.

 

Levi asking Dave some deep questions about the church. His testimony is really growing. 

Family hugs after family prayer. It usually ends in craziness and the kids getting wired but I just love it. 



Dave's encouraging texts throughout the day. 

Lucy's baths. She use to hate them now it's her favourite. 



Will and Levi playing Peter Pan and pretending to fly to never land. 




We've been so blessed lately. Seems like soon as money's tight I get a big etsy order or Dave gets overtime. Levi's glasses are gonna be extremely expensive but because he's in kindergarten they are free. Beautiful weather to just really enjoy this mild fall! A baby who is so easy and just so loved.
