Brad learning how to play in the exersaucer! Luke, never far away when baby brother is getting attention, shows Brad how to really play with this toy. I love Brad's face after Luke spins the spinner!

4 month comparison
On to the 4 month comps!
At 4 months, Luke weighed 14 lbs and was 24.5 inches. His little chubby cheeks had gotten even bigger thanks to the steroid injection he had in January of that year. I think this was the first time we put him in this exersaucer and he loved looking at all the toys on it and putting them in his mouth, but I remember his legs were still too short to reach the bottom.
At 4 months, Brad weighed 15 lbs 7 oz and was 25 inches long. So little brother has really overtaken big brother by this month! We got the exersaucer out for Brad this month and his feet reached (but I'm thinking this was more due to the material stretching from Luke's use of it than anything else). Brad loves making all the toys spin, but doesn't try to put them in his mouth.
While there is still a general resemblance to Josh, I think the boys are starting to each have their own look by this month. Of course, Luke's steroids may have really changed how his face looked, it'll be fun to see if they start to look more alike again when we get to the point were the steroid effect on Luke wore off.

Noah
In case anyone was wondering, we still do have this guy :)
Poor Noah, he has been relocated to the couch at night ever since Brad came home. I've been telling Josh that I just couldn't cope with Noah's snoring and a newborn waking up. So Noah has been out of our room for over 6 months and since Brad has started sleeping through the night now, I'm wondering how much longer I can keep it that way...

Trip to Birmingham
In mid February we took a trip to Birmingham to visit some dear friends. It had been a while since we had been back there, it has been just over a year now since we sold our townhouse. I guess all the back and forth we did (with Josh doing several trips on his own) the year before that to take care of the house made us take a little hiatus from the trip down 1-20. Well that and the whole having a baby thing!
Anyway, we were so glad to be able to get back to the town we called home for 4 years and do dearly miss!
We stayed with Marcus and Anna and their two boys. I tried to get some good pictures of our all boy crew but again failed at photography!

Anna sent me some pictures she took, she has the photography skills :)
We went to church and saw many more of our friends, we really enjoyed seeing everyone there! I love getting updates on facebook and through blogs but it is so nice to reconnect in person. Miss you all!
We went back to our old neighborhood and visited for the afternoon with our neighbors and friends Alan and Janet and their two children. We miss living right across the street from them! Luke and Ryne used to be able to wave to each other looking out our kitchen windows!

It was a wonderful trip! Too short. Sorry to those we didn't get a chance to see this trip, now that Brad is getting older we hope to get back to Birmingham more often!

Snow again!
February snow! This time I got out in time to play, although there wasn't as much snow as we had in January.
Brad
Luke
After we made lots of tracks, that was pretty much all Luke wanted to do. I think he liked how the snow crunched under his boots!

Claws! and cute slippers
Even with trimmed fingernails, Brad has some serious claws! He went through a period where he just clawed himself at night. We kept his hands covered and put eczema cream on him, but he still got himself several times.
Also, check out these slippers :) These are the first thing I bought for Brad, known only as Baby Bop at the time. I bought them from a toy store we love in Brevard, NC. We were there last year over Memorial Day weekend for Greta's awesome birthday celebration. I thought they were just too cute to pass up!
Our happy happy boy!
