Six flags

We had such a great trip to six flags with Carter. Got there when the park opened and stayed until it closed. He was barely 42 inches but that brought on a new level of rides! He loved the judge roy scream and asked to do an "upside down" roller coaster but we told him to wait until he's 5. Such a fun day! Can't wait to take Isaac next year!

Sweet boy is starting to eat regular  foods, loves peaches, broccoli, mum mums. Still nursing and gets a 4ish oz bottle at night. Loves to stand and bounce--hilarious in the Johnny jump up, will jump a good 20-30 mins in the bathroom doorway and just smile at me as I get ready. Babbling a lot, mostly. Mama :). Recognizes his daddy and Mimi and gets a big grin when he sees them. Happy as can be at childcare--gym, church, mops--just smiles and goes to whoever! Loves splashing in the fountains at the pool, bathtime with Isaac, and really just watching brothers play. Goes to bed around 7 and wakes to eat around 6. I'm strategic with his morning nap depending on that days plans. Will either go back down and sleep until 830 after nursing or will get up and go back down 8-9ish. Naps consistently 12-3. Will only suck thumb when holding onto a blanket--getting attached to green chincha but really any blanket (or towel!) will do these days. 

My sweet B bear,

You are so go with the flow and I think sometimes I take advantage of it because you already just roll with the punches and try to keep up with your brothers. One of my favorite things to do is to rock and nurse you first thing in the morning. It's just me and you and you will drift off to sleep but then look at me and we both smile. You love to splash, love to be outside, and love to put everything in your mouth. When I sit you in your highchair you get mad until there is food on your tray. You know your brothers and love to watch them and smile so big and squeal when they get down and play with you. You sit up well on your own but really love to stand holding onto my fingers. Love watching you grow and develop, you are fearfully and wonderfully made!

Love, Mama
