Sweet Siblings
Kaylee really does love her little brother! I think she calls him "Bud" as much as she calls him Andy, if not more. Common phrases are now, "where's Bud?" "Night-night, Bud!" "You're my favorite brother, Bud." So here are a few photos of Kaylee and Bud:
TV Zombies (they get this from their father...)
Kaylee reading to Andy. You can tell from Andy's expressions that "Play Time with Spot" is a very intense reading experience.
Bud loves it when Kaylee spends time with him!

Art Classes 3 & 4
Last week there was a thunderstorm that knocked out power to the art classroom. So class was canceled and they had a makeup day for us on Tuesday this week. So Kaylee had art 2 days in a row! Here she is with her two latest creations.
This is her interpretation of Picasso's "Three Musicians"
This is a row of houses with fireworks bursting overhead. I think she used all black and dark blue glitter for the fireworks. And you can just see her American flag hiding on the left; it's on a flagpole, but that ended up behind the frame.
She's signed up for the next 4 week session of art, which will start the week after next. She's glad to have more to look forward to!

One picture (updated!)
Here's a cute photo of Kaylee from today...
This morning as I was trying to tame her bedhead, Kaylee said to me, "Mommy, don't mess up my spring!" referring to the one perfect curl she almost always has in front. The rest of her hair can be crazy out of control, but somehow that one "spring" is always there!

4 month stats
Andy just had his 4 month well visit. He is now 16lb 1oz (about 75th percentile), 26.25" (90th) and head circumference 16.75" (60th) - growing well! We'll start solid foods when he's 6 months, same as we did for Kaylee. No need to rush him along, he's growing too fast as it is!
Of course the appointment was right at naptime! He slept about 30 min in the car on the way there and woke up when I got him out for the checkup. Fell asleep again on the way home and is still napping (an hour so far). It could just be that he was awake for part of naptime, so now he's sleeping late (he's usually up by 10:30), but he also might be a bit more sleepy today because of all the shots. He had 4 shots plus an oral vaccine. The little guy cried for a minute as the nurse stuck him, but stopped just after I picked him up.
He goes back in August for his 6 month visit. A short 2 month reprieve from shots!

Cuddly gal
We had to wake up Kaylee to get ready to go to a wedding on Saturday, and Jamie found her all cuddled with her favorite blankies, Froggie and Mimi. Froggie seems to be the toted-around favorite, but she went back and forth between Mimi and Froggie for a while before Froggie completely took over that role. Kaylee gives her a bad rap, but she is often cuddled with Mimi when we catch her still sleeping.
In case you're wondering about all her other blankets, she has quite a few and "needs" them all in bed with her (but just in a pile next to her pillow)...she has the aforementioned Froggie and Mimi, then there's Kitty, Hippo, bear blankie (aka Beary - Barry?), flower blankie, pink blankie, bee blankie, stripey blankie, special blankie and a little stuffed crab and yellow bear, too. So for those of you keeping track at home, that's 10 blankets and 2 stuffed animals she has to have to sleep. Luckily she only needs this at home and when she sleeps elsewhere she can make do with just one or two. My guess is once she moves to a full size bed (she's still in her crib converted to a daybed), she'll have to have the quilt that she uses as covers included in her blanket pile.
Andy is on his way to rivaling her...in his crib (soon to be removed once he starts rolling/scooting more!) he's got Mr. Monkey, Cuddle Monkey, Lambie, an elephant blankiet and Softie (aka Fake Softie, since it's called Softie because it looks like the favorite blanket ("Softie") of a friend of Kaylee's). Oh, and a stuffed dragon. So only 5 blankies and 1 stuffed animal thus far. Halfway there. We're apparently suckers for cute little blankies!

4 months
Our little guy is 4 months old! Okay, 4 months and a day. Here he is!
What's new with Andy, you ask? Lots of drooling, which started about a month ago, and he likes to chew on his fingers now. Mostly the index fingers, though he'll get a whole hand's worth in there at times, and also seems to like sucking on his fist. So we're often covered in baby saliva, but what can you do? He wears a lot of bibs these days. Easier to change than an outfit!
Also, he's been getting into a pretty good 3 nap/day routine as of the past 2.5 weeks, so it's nice to have a bit more regularity in the day, even if he is still only up for about 2.5 hours max at a stretch (though he missed his late afternoon catnap today and was up about 4.5 hours before an early bedtime).
