Four Months Old

Macade is now four months old. He had a doctors appointment this week, and the little turkey weighs 18.1 pounds and is 27 inches long. The doctor said he's in the 95th percentile for his age. He is rapidly outgrowing his clothes...and is now wearing size 6-9 month. He's such a happy baby, always smiling and cheerful. The other night he rolled from his back to his side...loves his tummy time and is starting to get his legs under him while on his belly...somethings telling me he might be on the move soon. He also loves to stand up...but we keep telling him, he must crawl before he walks. We've decided that he's teething...he is a drool machine, and tries to put anything and everything he can in his mouth...his fist being his favorite...it's so hard to believe that he's growing up so fast. Mark and I often ask each other...what did we do without him...we can't imagine life without him.

My cousins came to visit

Macade had some visitors the other day. His cousins Cole and Addison O'Bannon came up to Visalia to play. We had so much fun on our walk, we feed the horses, drove the gator and tested out the tractor...hope you enjoy the pictures.

Cole and Addison

While we had our backs turned to snap a picture of Cole on the tractor, Addison decided to feed the dogs by hand and sample the food herself...

Cole is SO in love with Macade. He always wants to hold him...."Cole hold Cade." Addison on the other hand isn't quite sure what to think of him...somedays she's interested and others she's not.

I'm Stuffed!

I'm kicking myself in the pants...I wish I would have taken more pictures during Thanksgiving. My mom bought Macade this cute shirt...and we were sure stuffed by the end of the weekend. Mark, Macade and I had two Thanksgivings. We celebrated with the Atkins family on Thursday and then traveled to Bakersfield on Friday for the O'Bannon get together. Since Macade is almost 4 months old, and will be eating infant ceral soon, we let him try some mashed potatoes...we didn't give him more than just a taste...but he seemed to like them.
