4 Month Old Stetson

 excuse the blury picture 



4 Month Stats
Ht: 25.75" 66%
Wt: 16.1 lbs 34%
HC: 42cm 64%

Our little guy is growing and developing at a rapid rate these days. Within the last month he has found his hands and sucks wildly on them. I love when I catch him holding hands with him self so cute! I even caught him sucking his thumb when I went in to get him from his nap the other day. We may have another thumb sucker on our hands folks!


He holds his head up well enough to sit in the Bumbo and enjoys being on his belly propped up by a pillow, which is good because we really need his flat head to round back out before his 6th month appointment or we may be seeing the helmut doctor. Yikes! He LOVES bath time so much that he almost jumps out of his whale tub in excitement. He is starting to get distracted easily while eating, which is a bummer for me. He loves when Brooklyn talks to him and makes him smile and he loves to watch her dance around the room. He also loves being with his daddy maybe he'll be a daddy's boy. 
He has dropped his 11:00pm feeding and only wakes up once during the night, usually around 4:30am. He wakes up around 7:30 and goes to bed around 7:30 on a good day. Lately he has had trouble settling down for bed time. For the most part he is pretty easy going.
I couldn't imagine my life without him right now. I have found that a mother's love for their sons is different from the love they have for their daughters. I don't know how to explain it, but I feel very lucky that I have one of each so that I can experience the difference.

We love our little Stetson to pieces and are enjoying every single second with him.

Whitney Lake - Uintas












 Last weekend we went camping at Whitney Resevoir in the Uintas. It was beautiful! It got pretty hot during the day so the kids took naps practically naked. This was Stetson's first (real) camping trip. His first time in the trailer was during a trial run parked behind my parents house.The dogs had fun running around & playing in the water. Brooklyn loved going to the lake and throwing rocks in the water while Brett fished, playing in the dirt, picking wild flowers, and cooking s'mores in the fire. The biting flies were horrible so we kept Stetson inside the trailer most of the time. He didn't seem to mind, but I am excited for when he can join in on the fish catching, s'more making, and dirt playing :)
On the way home we stopped at pull out next to the river to stick our feet in and have lunch. By the time we got home we were all exhausted, but we sure love to camp and make fun memories!
