First cereal/Fun with big Sis!

He kind of likes it :)

I was going to wait until Declan was 6 months old, but he was pretty ready for this

Anabelle and Declan have a lot of fun with each other

And their handsome Daddy, coming home from another long day at work.  Doesn't he look good? :)

Playtime

Our strong, hefty boy weighed in at 16 lbs at his 4 month appointment the other day.  25 inches long. 42 cm head circumference. He's in about the 75th % for weight for height.

Guess who did this???

 Ta-Da!  You may guess Mike did not wholly approve of this decor

Anabelle loves to play with Declan.  It's very cute!  She watches how I play with him and then tries to mimic it.

I'm still trying to teach her to be gentle with Declan.  You can't hit babies with your toys, or head-butt them, or stretch their appendages as far as you can.  She is just a little too much excitement for him to handle sometimes, but both of their faces do light up for each other with smiles.  Such cute kiddos!

 She is excited that he has begun rolling over, so now she thinks it's fun to lay down with him and "roll over" together

And yes, she does roll him all the way over her, but I don't have a photo of it yet.  

And this is just too adorable! 

And for those of you who haven't seen this on facebook, here is Anabelle discussing the millions (ok, maybe a small exaggeration) of caterpillars in our backyard.

More Utah pics

The kids made valentines cookies at Grandma Lewis' one day :)

 Mike reading on his Nook.  Too bad he doesn't have time for that anymore.  He sure loved it.

 Our happy baby

 Visiting with Grandma Lewis

 The AWESOME owl cake I made for Anabelle's birthday dessert.  Yes, I'm pretty impressed with myself ;)

 All the Ogden Lewis Fam (minus Dan, Kelsey, and their brand new triplets)

 Visiting with Great Grandma Henderson

 Snuggling with Nana.  Anabelle LOVES to be tickled on her arms, legs, and back!

We had a great trip. I need to get more photos from my mom to post of our Henderson gatherings.  I didn't take many :(

Utah!

So for those of you who don't know, we went to Utah in February, for about 10 days.  We had a blast spending time with both sides of our family, and got to see so many different family members.  It was so nice to show off Declan and have Anabelle play with her cousins.  She is now old enough that they can all really play together and she had so much fun!

One day, we went with Hallie and Grady to Kangaroo Zoo in Ogden, which is basically a huge building filled with bounce houses and blow-up slides.  Of course, our little monkey girl loved it.

We did a bunch of other fun things too, but I'll have to get back to you later for all of that.  Enjoy this for now :)

Happenings

This happens a lot :)

 Always the cheese!

 Anabelle took this picture of us

 And this...

 And some of our growing boy. Although these pics don't show it, he is smiling all the time!  He is such a happy boy (when he's fed, awake, and not gassy).  I love him so much!  Also, he's giggling now, and it's so stinkin' adorable. He has also been sucking on his hands for a little while, which is so cute.  I just love having a baby in our family again!

 Anabelle likes to exercise with me.  Here I was doing ab exercises and she wanted to join me, as always.  She also really likes to stretch with me.  I enjoy the company.

 Sleepy bear.  The binky always finds its way out of his mouth.  Luckily, he can sleep without it, unlike his big sister that HAD to have her binky to sleep.
