Guy's 4-month birthday and first rollover

Guy had his 4-month birthday (and check-up) the other day.  He's doing great.  He weighed 14 lbs. 9 oz. (75th percentile) and was 26 inches long (90th percentile).  The check-up also included a bunch of shots, which made for a somewhat fussy evening, but all is better now.

In other Guy news, he has started to rollover from his back to his front. He's been doing it at daycare for awhile now. He's also done it a few times at home, but he has never wanted to perform for the camera. Well, last night we finally got a rollover on tape.  Here's the proof.

A Wedding and a Reunion

We had a very exciting weekend this week, and it all started with my friend Jayne getting married on Friday evening. 

Scott and I used this as an excuse to have a date night - we left the boys with Joni and managed to get ourselves presentable for the evening.  The wedding was beautiful- Jayne got married at the Loretto, which is the same place that my sister Mary was married.



















Jayne's wedding meant that all of my old college friends came into town, so the weekend also served as a reunion. We had people over to our house on Saturday to grill burgers and catch up.  I got to meet my friend's new baby girl (and talk to her about what it's like to shop in the girl's section of the baby store...).... 
Lincoln had fun playing with all of "older" kids.   We had three 2-year-old boys playing at the house, and I learned that "wild and crazy party" takes on a whole new meaning when you're dealing with preschoolers.










As for Guy, he had fun meeting all my friends.  He especially liked being spoiled by Christy during the party.  

We were sad to see everyone leave Saturday afternoon, but we're hopeful that we'll find an excuse to get together next summer again.

Easter!

We had a wonderful Easter weekend at Grandma and Grandpa Hauner's house, along with Mary, Randy, and Everett.  This year was especially fun since this is the first year that Lincoln really hunted for eggs.  He started the morning following a trail of jelly beans left by the Easter bunny, which led to the living room where he found the hidden eggs and candy.  Here he is sorting through all of his loot after the big hunt.

Guy is still too little to hunt for eggs, but he still got to be in the middle of all of the action.  He even got his very own Easter basket!

We also managed to get a picture of the boys with their grandparents before we left.  The weekend ended on a very good note, too - both of the boys slept for the entire 3-hour trip home!

Teeth?

Guy's been pretty drooly lately (we've taken to having him wear a bib), and he's been chewing on his hands a lot.  We're interpreting this as a sign that our little baby may be getting teeth soon.  There's no pearly whites to show yet, though, so I'm posting a random photo of guy posing in the overall/pants I made for him.  He says they're great for those unseasonably cold spring days, but they make diaper changes difficult.
