All dressed and playing with tiger. Tiger sometimes rides with captain Jack in his car seat. He likes to chew on his legs. Everything seems to be a chew toy with lots of slobber, makes me wonder if we’re getting close to teething?
Before getting dressed this morning I put on Arlin’s knit cap that came in the mail from great grandma Ruby in California. She knit Arlin a cap, booties and a bib. They are so cute on him. And the cap has room to grow- just what this noggin’ needs!
This past weekend the family traveled to Colorado Springs to watch the Pikes Peak Derby Dames and the Houston Hard Knocks bout each other. Arlin loved being part of the action! The Pike Peak girls defeated, representing for Colorado roller derby!
Yesterday we went for Arlin’s 4 month check up, poor guy had no idea what was in store for him. First the weigh in- our little guy is 17 pounds. Then the body measure- bugger is 26 inches long. Then the noggin measure, wow, 17 inch diameter! (Master Arlin Jack is 90th percentile in all measurements!)
AND then doom doom doom… four shots in the legs! Ouchy! One second Arlin was smiling, cooing, totally flirting with the two nurses and immediately after the pricks two on each side of his thighs he was the color of a lobster and boy was he mad at them! A cry that made Mommy’s stomach turn upside down. But it only lasted about two minutes and by the time I got him dressed he was smiling again…he really is such a good baby.
The “Littlest Green Beret”…um not so sure this bugger is the littlest! Grandpa aka Master Sargent Knight picked this tee-shirt and bib up along his travels. 😉
Today is our 4 month birthday and our monthly check up at the doctors, hopefully we won’t have shots…stay tuned for the weigh in update. Daddy and I have bets in his right around 20#’s!
Hahaha…I’m still laughing. I came home from the gym and little man was sitting in his bebe pod on the kitchen island while I was checking my email I took off my bandana and Arlin reached for it…and put it on! just kidding, yes mean mommy again- I couldn’t help myself…La vida loca!
Arlin and I went over to Abby and Palmer’s for lunch today. The little guys finally saw each other and had some quality playtime. Palmer was holding Arlin’s hand at one point- it was too cute! Abby and I got to catch up on mommy talk, looks like they’ll be moving into their 50’s style ranch home soon! Yay! for the Woefel’s!

Mom’s getting a little hair do going for Master Arlin. Daddy calls it the baby hawk. I have fun doing it in the morning and it seems to stay for awhile. He really is starting to giggle when people interact with him. It’s a rare occasion that he won’t smile if you’re talking to him. I think he is getting use to the camera- ya think?! Ha.

AhoY MateY!!!
Arlin was having quite the conversation with his pirate! Should of had the video camera on and ready to capture this moment, but hey- can’t complain I got these pictures. This little pirate doll was handmade by our friend Jacquie, gonna have to send these pics. her way so she can see how much A.J. loves his bud.
