-Three Little Wildcats-

To say Kevin is excited for football season to start is a GROSS understatement!! He attempted to take Alexa to the scrimmage last year but it got cancelled ten minutes into the game, due to lightning. Soooo...with no rain or lightning in the forecast, he wanted us all to go. He insisted that Barrett NEEDED to go to his first football game!! I'm sure it's made all the difference in the world! He's sure to be even more of an Arizona fanatic now!! :-) Anyways, despite it being sweltering hot, we had a great time and we even got Coach Stoops to sign a little football after the scrimmage was over! Let's go Wildcats!
Don't we have the cutest little wildcat fans ever??!!!

.::Barrett: 4 Months::..

FOUR months have passed since Bubba joined our family! Our little man has certainly beefed up...his stats from his 4 month check up are:
***
26 1/2 inches tall (98th percentile)
20.4 lbs (off the charts)
48cm head circumference (off the charts)
***
He is just a BIG kid! I'm pretty sure his rolls have rolls! And I LOVE it!! I absolutely love how squishy and delicious he is. I sure enjoy smooching on those cheeks ALL day EVERY day!

*Has discovered his feet
*Continues his love affair with his hands!

It's been a fun month....OH, I think the biggest thing this month is that Barrett is now completely on formula. I started weaning him right after 3 months and we are officially done nursing!!! He was a great nurser and I enjoyed that special bond with him, but it was time. It has definitely helped me feel less overwhelmed...now that others can help with his feeding!
Barrett, we sure love you and are enjoying each new day with you!!!
