Stats - 4 Years Old

I.O. had his annual checkup (a few weeks late...), and at 4 years old he continues to be tall and strong: height 42.5" (87%) and weight 45lbs (93%).

He is also brave! He had three vaccinations and didn't cry. Dad did a great job coaching him before and not sugar-coating the fact that yes, it will probably hurt.

Here's a few photos of our boy who is growing up so fast!

Little Buckaroo

Our little buckaroo had pony rides with "Buckaroo Bob" this month at preschool. Here he is riding "Dakota". Too cute!

Oh, Boy!

In case you haven't heard our big news, we're expecting another boy in early September 2014! That's right, I.O. is going to have a little brother.

He was being a little face-shy, but he did give us an excellent thumbs up. While we are thrilled to be having another boy, we are stumped on what to name him. Any suggestions in the comments are welcome!

And... an obligatory belly shot. Here I am at 22 weeks (5 months). It's true what they say about the second time around. I'm showing a lot earlier than I was last time at 22 weeks (see that belly shot here).

Happy 4th Birthday, I.O.!

Our little (big) guy turned 4!

Highlights of his birthday included a celebration at preschool, a super-hero themed birthday party at our house, and surprises from both of his grandpas! Grandpa M made a surprise visit to his party, and Grandpa J dressed up head to toe as Spiderman and surprised the whole party.
