Dad's the Grad

After a little over two years, Robert has completed his MBA program at the University of Dallas. On Saturday we had a little gathering at the house to celebrate his accomplishment. It was a tough two years for him. But, with two kids and a full time job he got it done.

Ethan felt it necessary to pull his lounge chair up to the table for cake.

The cake is Ethan approved. Thank goodness!

These guys had a quiet cheer for the game since I just got Ethan to sleep

Ok Mom. I took the picture, I would like my fruit snack now.

Ethan finally talked Tatum into going upstairs to play with him.  And, Patrick, please don't come to check on us. I am moving in on your wife....

We are so proud of you! 

Thanks to everyone that came to celebrate. Robert had a great time and appreciates all the support he has received.

Good job, Robert! We are all proud of you!

Happy 4 months, Brady!

Brady is already 4 months old. And even though we received no smile during our photo session, he is a happy baby.

He is such a good baby. He is usually very content and sweet. He rarely cries, unless he is hungry or in the car. He hates the car right now. We must be moving at all times. He is all smiles when he wakes up in the morning. He is excited to see everyone.

He is still stationary for the most part. He has rolled over from back to belly a few times. But, he is fine just hanging out. He does spend most of his time on his side trying to see what's going on above his head. 

He loves his big brother. He watches everything he does. And he puts up with his antics. He loves to play peek-a-boo. But we get the biggest laughs when Dad is around with his silly faces. I catch him frequently just staring at him and smiling while we are having dinner. It is very sweet.

He's got a pretty good downward facing dog going for him right now. But, he doesn't seem in too big of a hurry to get anywhere. 

He is starting to sit up a little bit. He doesn't hold it for too long. But, he is starting to hold a little tripod sit for a few seconds.

Big brother may have hidden the remote with him. 

Those chubby cheeks, I love them.

Those chubby hands.....

Here are his updated stats:

Weight: 21 lbs, 2 oz (95%)

Height: 26.25 inches (90%)

Head Circumference: 17.5 inches (95%)

Doctor said all is good. He's a very chubby, happy boy. Well, he was happy up until he got those shots. We were given the green light for starting solids when we want. We gave some peas a try tonight, very little. Not sure if he is ready or not. We will try again tomorrow, if not, we will wait a little longer and try again. 

Harvest time at the Arboretum

It was a warm day at the Dallas Arboretum. Carissa and I took the kids to see a lot of Texas sized pumpkins. I was tempted to bring a couple home. Fortunately for Robert, I was out of hands.

He gave these big guys and hug and said "I love you giant pumpkin."

We started over in the pumpkin patch with the pumpkin houses. 

 

Ethan refused to look at the camera so Macy smacked him in the head. He had it coming for pushing her over. 

Then we had a picnic lunch over looking the lake. 

We ended our fun-filled day at the children's garden. We may have gotten a little wet and had to change.....and ride home shirtless. 

After soaking the kids we decided it was time to go home.
