4 Months for Miss A



We went to the doctor for Ava's 4 month check-up on Thursday and here are her stats:
Weight: 13 1/2 lbs (50%)
Height 25 3/4 in. (90%)
She's still rolling, but keeps getting up on her knees like she wants to crawl already! Good thing her arms aren't strong enought yet---I'm not ready to have her crawling. The doctor said we can start putting her in the Bumbo, so we did last night. Not sure what she thought of it. She looked a little confused. :)

Before the snow...







This last Thursday Kaelub drove us to Las Vegas and I flew up to Idaho with the kids. It was a fun, last minute trip because we got a really good deal. At first, my mom said it was going to be around 70 degrees while we were there so I had our clothes all ready to pack. Then the day before we were going to leave, she called and said to pack warm because it was only going to be 40-50! Well, since it's 90 here, I didn't really have that warm of clothes for them. Luckily my cousin Lanette was nice enough to lend us some warm jackets for them & my mom found some long sleeve shirts leftover from winter. Friday we decided to go to the zoo because it was actually pretty nice outside. So my brother, aunt, mom, me, & the kids went and had a great time. Eli loved petting the goats again--he loves the petting area of all zoos! And he had to make sure to pet every single one of them. He even made sure we all knew when one of the goats went "pee-pee". I think he said it at least 10 times. Then he was extra careful about where he walked--avoiding the "pee-pee" & "poo-poo". We were able to see pretty much all of the animals, which was great, and it wasn't crowded. Eli started out in the stroller with grandma pushing, but ended up pushing the stroller around himself after about 15 minutes. Then came the crazy Idaho weather on Saturday. It went from rain, to hail, to full on blizzard with wind. It's the end of May! We were also able to see Grandma & Grandpa Christensen while we were there. They always spoil Eli with treats & fruit snacks. (His favorite) Overall it was a fun, quick trip that we didn't expect to get to do. Thanks for all the good times family!

Sharing


This was what Eli has been up to with Ava lately. (Until she drools all over them. Then he says, "yucky" and takes them back.)

Father Son Campout





Kaelub took Eli on his first campout last weekend and he loved it! Our ward had a father son campout and Kaelub decided it would be fun to take Eli. It got pretty cold, but Eli didn't seem to mind and he even told Kaelub he was hot when they were in their sleeping bags. I guess the one thing he didn't like was the fire. Maybe because whenever he sees a fire he says hot, don't touch, and owie. So he might have been scared by the big fire. Eli even had a buddy to play around with. Kaelub said he and Brody were pretty funny--like a little tag team.
