happy 4 months baby d!

woohoo...we love four months old!
durham's 4 month doctor went very well.
his stats:
weight...15 pounds 11 ounces...a little above 50%
height...25 inches...a little above 50%
head was 75%

right now...he loves to laugh and is very ticklish under his neck. of course, mccoy is his favorite subject to watch. not a huge fan of the bottle. sometimes he would rather not eat for awhile than take a bottle, but he is never fussy about it. we just moved him into his room and so far so good...most nights. he sleeps from 8 to 5:45. one of my favorite moments is during one of the middle of the night feedings, after he is done, he just looks at me and starts grinning. it makes me melt every time. i probably spend an extra 15 to 20 minutes in there just smiling away. we all love the swaddle...he protests at first but quickly settles down. he is the most relaxed and chilled little boy. i know a lot has to do with him being the second, and we are definitely more comfortable and confident, but every day and night, he just rolls with us. my other favorite thing about him is his sweet little feet. for some reason, i just love these little toes, especially his pinky toe...it's so long and skinny!

he's upset that mccoy is trying to take his cake!
just woke up from nap time with those beautiful blue eyes

during the first couple of weeks, mccoy wouldn't go near durham...in this picture, i tricked him into giving him a kiss on the head with a bag of animal crackers
playing at the creek
such a serious baby
gracie made this sock monkey lovie for durham...we are thinking of calling him "momo or mo"....everyone who knows mccoy, knows that he still LOVES his lala, so whatever we name this little guy, it has to be something that we can say everywhere we go!

mccoy's best buddy, liam, was on his way over to our house, so mccoy was just waiting by the pool...

our new little one

our little family grew on may 28, 2011 when durham leahy box entered this world!
he is such a blessing...everything went extremely well! we went in saturday morning, and it was so nice at the hospital because there was hardly anyone there...very calm and relaxing! the only trouble we had was the first epidural did not work exactly, but they quickly got that fixed! then around 3:55, i started to push and at 4:07, durham was born!

weight...7 pounds 6 ounces
length...20 inches

he even scored a perfect 10 on his apgar score...(which i'm still not sure what that means)

sorry for the bad hair do
our first attempt of a family picture
he was born with huge feet and toes...i think he will probably be taller than mccoy

gracie
grandaddy
lucky

going home outfit...
we still did not know what we were having, so i had two outfits ready to go
it's neat with your second because you get to take some of the same pictures of durham that we did with mccoy...



what's up family!
the following are pictures of us and mccoy...we definitely look like first time parents!
