On Monday we had Everett's four month check-up and he's quickly outpacing Ben at that age (not that it's a contest...) -- he weighed in at 16 lbs 3 oz (80th percentile) and measured 26 1/4 inches long (90th percentile). He's healthy and happy, which is all we ask for. Ev was NOT so happy about getting a couple of shots and having a tongue depressor stuck in his mouth (Ben, who was with us, informed the doctor "I don't think he likes that", stating the obvious as Ev was gagging and protesting about the tongue depressor).

On Sunday, January 17th, 2010, Everett was baptized. Our families came to Chicago for the ceremony and Aunt Christie and Uncle Arn served as Godparents.

Lisa back to work. New job for me. Both boys in daycare, then immediately sick. (Ben: ear infection. Ev: ear infection x 2 and bronchiolitis.) Wheeee!
Here's some pics from the past month or so. Ev has an on-going feud with his right hand, and has discovered he likes to chew on us. He is the most smiling & laughing baby I have ever known.

Building a toy with Ben, part of which he had in the car with him this morning.
Me: "Now, where's this part?"
Ben: "I don't know. Oh! I think it's still in the car."
Me: "Okay. I'll go get it."
Ben: "It's cold out there! You need to wear your coat!"
