Super Saturday...

Back to our weekend....Saturday morning the women folk headed out to the "trifecta" as I like to call it (I actually just made that up for this story, but now I like it, so I'm going to stick to it) otherwise known as Target, HobLob and Nail Salon. It was glorious. 

We returned in time for a quick kid hand off and the men folk headed out for some golf. 

I forced asked them to take some pics of their day...

Super jealous of my dad's legs.

Then we all headed out to Freddy's for dinner.

Yum.

Then the BIGGEST kids (people over the age of....30...gross) got dressed and headed out on the town.

These guys were too busy in a brawl to take over a galaxy far far away.

Master Pops was the ref.

And THIS is what we pulled up to Northgate in.

A minivan.

My parents rented it for the weekend so we had plenty of space for everyone.

I.Loved.It.

Seriously.

We {kinda} tried to act like we still "had it" but we quickly realized that 10 years away from the bar scene may have hindered our street cred. 

(for the record - I did win the 'trick shot' game.)

Look at us. Maybe we do still "got it".

(I know we "got" some wrinkles)

It was just fun to get away with these two guys. We are at the point where we have all lived a part longer than we lived together and while that makes me sad, I also love to witness the lives we create for ourselves. And know without a doubt that they will always be by side when I need them.

We played pool and shuffle board, chatted, laughed, and did all the things I would love to do every weekend with these two guys.

It was a "super" Saturday... can't wait for the next one!

Happy {belated} Monthday....

LILLIAN LANDRY KING!!

you are

FOUR MONTHS OLD!!

What have you been up to?

(I started this last night but fell asleep at my computer. This does not reflect my love for you!)

Well, to begin with. Mommy fail. You won't have your 4 month well check until you are a week shy of 5 months old. Dr. H is in high demand with summer physicals, vaccines, etc... I will guess the following:

Length: ~25 inches

Weight: ~ 14 pounds

Head Circumference: ~40.5 cm

You wore a NB outfit on July 4th but you typically wear all 3 month clothes with some 3-6 month. You still wear size 1 diapers, but we may move you up to the 1/2 size after we run out of this pack. You still eat 5 times/day and we just added an ounce to your "lunch" bottle with Miss Jessica. You have once again decided that nursing is pretty cool. 

We put you down between 8-8:30 each night and you sleep until 6 or 6:30. I nurse you and then you go back to sleep until 9 - 10am! You like your sleep! :) I love waking you up because the moment you are unswaddled you do this giant stretch and coo and smile and just start my day with such a ray of sunshine. 

I think I've only heard you cry 3 times this month and those were all caused by your sister.

(In her defense, she was "pay-ing, Mommy"). 

You are a delight. 

(And getting rolly!!) 

Speaking of sister. 

She still loves you. You still love her. She knows that she is not supposed to touch your head/face so instead she gives us a very mischievous look and kisses you instead. (Because who can get mad at that). 

Radley loves laying next to you trying to make you laugh. He always tells me how cute and sweet you are. I think he really is ok with "another sister". 

Big news this month:

YOU LAUGHED OUT LOUD!!

We were at dinner and Radley did something and you just thought is was hilarious. You laughed and laughed. And then he laughed. And Emmy laughed. And it was just the most beautiful sound. 

You are a "talker" always cooing. You also "growl/purr" when you are happy. Just like a cat. This usually happens right after you eat. It's like you are telling us all is right in the world of Landry. 

And if your squeals indicate how loud you will become... Lord help us. :)

You are a master of tummy time and still roll over from tummy to back from time to time. Your head is getting stronger and you can "sit up" on the bed with just a boppy behind you. 

Your hair is getting crazy long on top and finally growing back in on the bottom. Basically you look like Donald Trump, but clearly MUCH cuter. 

{Above is what was going on while I was taking these pics. Emmy wanted your feet to touch. Below is when she decided to finally get up and attack you. You loved it.}

You are joy. You are my heart personified. First, Radley. Then, Emmy. Now, you. 

It just grows. 

We love LoVe LOVE you Lovely Landry.
