4 month check up and El Papalote

Well I hope you have all had a good week- we have been lucky with another great week. Boone had his 4 month checkup on Tuesday and things went well. They weighed him -- 17 lbs. 5 oz., measured him -- 25 1/2 inches, and gave him his 4 month immunizations. He did really good and didn't cry too much. It's a good thing too because I don't handle him crying very well. I'm glad he is a tough little man already. They said with his measurements he is in the 90% for weight and 75% for height and head circumference. He had a great height growth spurt so he has sort of evened out. Boone has really been sleeping well too. Wednesday night (or Thursday morning I guess) he slept

until 5:15 but on Friday morning he slept until 5:45. We had to wake him up to get him ready to go to day care. That was a first for us. It freaked me out a little when I woke up and realized I hadn't heard him at all that night but when I went to check on him he was fine. Last night he woke up at 2 so I can't say we are sleeping through the night yet but I can now say I have had a full uninterrupted night of sleep.....and it was great! Saturday morning we woke up early to go down to El Papalote (the ranch) to see Leslie and Dustin who drove in from Midland with some friends of theirs Chase and Erin. Chad and Stephanie were also down there so we got to see everybody. It was my first time to see the ranch and oh my gosh it is beautiful. The views are amazing and the house is so incredible. I just know lots of good memories and stories are going to happen at that
place. We didn't stay long since it is getting so hot down here during the day. It was supposed to get up over 100 so we decided we would rather get up early and then leave around lunch. And everyone else was going to float the river anyway so it worked out perfect. It was nice too because we got home at a decent hour and we were still able to grill out. It has been a really nice weekend so far. Hope you have all had a great one as well and we love you all!

I was giving Boone some carrots and asked Brian to feed him some while I started his bath water....well as you can see the counter and Boone's bib got more than Boone

Boone started fussing on the way home so I slipped in the back seat for a while

I didn't have the heart to tell him his book was upside down :)
