Aika is four months! She is growing so fast and is so big. She is a super good eater and has started on solid foods. She does really good and loves to eat. She hasn't rolled over yet but is finally comfortable on her stomach for more than 20 seconds. She loves to talk, she is constantly making noises. She is a really happy baby most of the time now and I love that I have the chance to be her mom.
Archimedes is growing up super quick too. He is starting to learn a lot of words and he understands a lot of things I say to him. He is a pretty good boy with the occasional temper tantrum once in awhile. He loves his sister. He calls her "sissy" and every time she cries he runs to her to try to help her. Usually he tries to help by putting her pass in her eye, which doesn't really make matters better, for obvious reasons.
In other news, we decided to get our of our apartment. The neighbors below us that were constantly using their medical marijuana card made the apartment less appealing every day. Luckily for us, a guy that Andre's dad works for was trying to rent out his two bedroom house. It is in Irrigon, which is the next town over from Boardman, about 12 miles. Its in the same ward, so I get to keep my calling (which I love), and we still see Andre's family two or three times most weeks. The back yard is HUGE. I mowed it this past weekend, which was really neat. There is something calming about mowing your own yard :)
Here are a few pictures, enjoy!

| yes, she is wearing pajamas for her four month picture.. but they are the cutest pajamas I have ever seen. |

| This is Archimedes interpretation of giving kisses.. he politely gives you his forehead to kiss |

ReplyDeleteCongratulations Markell! A two bedroom house sounds much better than your previous living arrangement.
ReplyDeleteIt's always nice to have room to stretch out a little more. Nice house! Cute kids!
ReplyDeleteThose babies are just adorable. I'm anxious for you to come visit your folks so we can see them. And a dishwasher is a blessing also.
