<span style="font-family: "times"; font-size: 16.0pt;">I swear Scout is trying to outdo his brother! Last
week, he took his first steps (about 3)! While he isn’t officially walking, he is very close. Sawyer also walked at a little over 10 months, so I can already sense a
sibling rivalry budding with these two. Scout’s personality compliments his
brothers, like yin and yang; He is feisty like him, but with a calmer, relaxed
side. I can’t wait to see how their relationship evolves and the bond that
builds.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Sawyer was a full 2 lbs smaller than Scout at this time and shorter as well. Sawyer was definitely talking more but most everything is the same.</span><br />

p.m. - 6 a.m. Last week he went 4 nights of terrible sleeping, would wake up every
time we put him down, we took him to the doctor because we thought it might be
an ear infection but she thinks it was just separation anxiety. Luckily it has
passed and he is back to his normal schedule.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

is getting brave…will stand without holding on for up to 10 seconds and has
even taken two steps! Starting to explore with his teeth too, and has bitten us
a few times. One of my favorite things is his singing (see video below); he
imitates the songs we sing with hand motions and all (Itsy Bitsy Spider, Happy
and You Know It, etc.). He claps, waves, does the “more” sign language, and
even folds his hands when we pray at mealtime. He says “dada”, “hi”, “baba” but
still no “mama”. Sawyer and Scout are still best buds and are starting to
really play together!</span><span style="font-family: "times"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Exactly three weeks after we sprinkled her and her momma, Megan, with love, Miss Allie Maxine Johnson was born. Big Sister Elliot was the guest of Honor of course!<br />
<br />
At the time, Allie didn't officially have a name yet and we weren't quite sure when she might arrive, but we had a wonderful afternoon in her honor. Here are some of the pictures from the sprinkle Trina, Josey and I hosted. Thank you to all of Megan's friends and family who joined us for the celebration.<br />

Any opportunity I get to get out in the field and meet some of the hard working team members, I take it. My boss Julie and I were in the Scottsdale area last week for a convention and were able to do some store visits (we missed you Tracie!!). We decided we would visit stores in an area off the beaten path, that doesn't get a lot of Corporate visitors. They all seemed happy and honestly surprised to see us come in.<br>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
We mapped our route through Sedona, Cottonwood, Jerome, and Prescott....and the scenic views were the icing on the cake.<br>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
I have really never seen anything as beautiful as the Red Rocks/Sedona area. I knew it was pretty but was blown away when I saw the landscapes, mountains, and skylines in person.<br>
<br></div>
<div>
Thankfully I had the camera on me so I snapped some pics. I can't wait to plan a trip back with the family so we can spend more time there.<br>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
Here are some of the scenic shots I took during our trip. To see them all, visit my share site here: <a href="https://karitravels.shutterfly.com/4668">https://karitravels.shutterfly.com/4668</a></div>

Scout is 39 weeks which means he has been in the outside world now longer than he was inside (he surprised us at 38 weeks). The second child seems to go so much faster. I am sad to admit, I failed to get his picture taken with the Easter bunny for his first Easter. I do feel really bad about it but hopefully he will forgive me.<br />

Scout is all over the place now, trying to walk and keep up with Sawyer. It is crazy how quickly they become mobile! He is still super happy with such a joyful disposition, this boy is always smiling!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Here is Sawyer at 9 months: <a href="http://www.hamratime.com/2012/11/sawyer-9-months.html">http://www.hamratime.com/2012/11/sawyer-9-months.html</a></div>

Sawyer's 9 month check-up: <a href="http://www.hamratime.com/2012/12/sawyers-9-month-ish-checkup.html">http://www.hamratime.com/2012/12/sawyers-9-month-ish-checkup.html</a></div>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Sawyer was quite a bit smaller and this age, we were trying to figure out why he wasn't getting enough milk. Once we figured that out, he starting to bulk up. Sawyer was talking and moving a little bit more, but still very close.</span><br />

<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<u>Scout 9 Month stats</u></h3>
<b>weight: </b>19 lbs 9 oz. (48.5 percentile) - at 8 months he was 18 lbs 6 oz. <b> </b><br />
<br />
<b>height:</b> 28.5 inches (56.7 percentile) - at 8 months he was 27.5<br />
<br />
<b>clothing:</b> 9-12 months, 12 month. Wears size 2-3 shoes<br />
<br />
<b>diapers:</b> Size 3 - same as last month<br />
<br />
<b>eating:</b> Still nursing and eating everything that is allowed. Able to try more table food options as well. He just tried cottage cheese, shredded cheese, beans and yogurt. He still isn't a huge fan of the meats but when we mix it with other veggies, he likes it. Grandpa even let him try a little ice-cream!<br />
<b><br /></b><b>sleeping: </b>Still sleeping great and sleeping from about 7:30 - 6 a.m. We have noticed about 2-3 nights out of each month he gets a little fussy and will walk up but it seems to be linked to teething and/or new milestones (crawling, standing, etc.)<br />
<br />
<b>teething: </b>2 little bottom teeth popped up about 4 days after his 8-month birthday.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<b>other updates: </b>He really wants to walk! He has been standing and letting go without even realizing it. He loves his jumper and walker, especially when we go outside. One thing his Parents as Teacher rep was impressed with was his ability to hold on and then lean down to pick items up as well as his pincher grasp (using the index finger and thumb to pick up small objects). He does great picking up small food items, like puffs or cereal, and even small blocks. He is still only saying "dada" and "hi" but no "mama" yet. I swear he says "hi doggie" too while looking out the window at Bowie.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">It is with the most heaviest of hearts, I write this blog. Faith, my sweet pug, passed away peacefully sometime yesterday. Faith has been a part of my life for nearly 16 years (June 30). My parents surprised me with her on my 18th birthday. I remember so clearly opening up a birthday gift of dog toys and being so confused until I walked outside to see her tiny, sweet face hiding in a dog kennel. From that day on, she was my best friend and part of every big moment in my life. I honestly can't imagine coming home and not seeing her face. She was spunky, sassy, loved peanut butter, and surprising me with random items she would bring in from outside..a few times it was a snake. She was a little bit of a klepto (stealing anything she could get her hands on), obsessed with sunbathing, a snorter, a hoarder, and loved to swim. She has terrified me twice...once when she ate my entire Christmas stocking of kisses and my sister (a vet tech) had to walk me through how to pump her stomach over the phone (hydrogen peroxide does the trick). And second time was when she escaped through the fence in my backyard. It was the worst 24 hours of my life searching for her. I stayed up all night making signs and scanning the neighborhood. Luckily a kind woman found her and brought her home.</span><br>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">My wonderful husband had to break the news to me, but has been so kind. He has been extremely helpful taking care of the final details, because I can't handle even talking about it. We told Sawyer and he was also very comforting, kids sure know how to make things better. He wiped my tears and said, "God has lots of dog toys for her in heaven." Bowie was shaking and crying when John found her, he is taking it pretty rough too. I know he will miss his buddy, they lived together for six years.</span><br>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I honestly knew this was coming sooner than later at her age, but I never imagined I would be this heartbroken. It was equally as hard to tell my parents, as they have raised her almost as long as I have. They cared for her while I was in college or when I was gone traveling. Faith loved my dad so much, would sense him as soon as he would walk in the door. He came over last night and helped me say good bye and was even kind enough to help us get her to Friends of the Family, where she will be cremated and returned to us in a cedar box. </span><br>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">My mom sent me the sweetest note that really touched me:</span><br>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: normal; widows: 1;"><i><span style="font-family: inherit;">"I find it is sort of poetic justice that Dad was the one to driver her there this morning. He was the one who found her at the breeder in Billings. He took Rachel and I to meet her for the first time and then we went to pick her up when she was old enough so that we could surprise you with her for your birthday"</span></i></span><br>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: normal; widows: 1;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br></span></span>
<div style="widows: 1;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;">Just this past Christmas, I had decided to surprise John with custom watercolors of both Faith and Bowie for our home. Now this painting means even more to me than I could have imagined. </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit;">As a way to remember her, I went through and found some of my favorite photos of her that I have included below. </span></div>
<div style="widows: 1;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br></span></span></div>
<div style="widows: 1;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;">Faith, I love you so much and already miss you! Thank you for being my sidekick for more than 15 years, my grandpa Jim and Grandma Marilyn will love having you around heaven keeping them entertained!</span></span></div>

I will give myself credit for making it that long.<br />
<br />
I think this month had the biggest amount of milestones. He is officially mobile and loving every minute! His brother, not so much! I actually saw Sawyer pulling Scout by the leg the other day prying him off one of his toys.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Here is Sawyer at 8 months. Big differences are that Sawyer had teeth, was attempting to walk, and was saying Mama. Also Scout has now past Sawyer in size, Sawyer was only wearing 6-9 month still: <a href="http://www.hamratime.com/2012/10/sawyer-8-months.html" target="_blank">Sawyer 8 Months</a></div>

<br />
<b>weight: </b>18 lbs 6 oz. <b> </b>at 7 months he was 17 lbs 8 oz.<br />
<br />
<b>height:</b> 27.5 at 7 months he was 27 inches<br />
<br />
<b>clothing:</b> 9-12 months. And just 12 month tops. Wears size 2 and 3 shoes.<br />
<br />
<b>diapers:</b> Size 3 - same as last month<br />
<br />
<b>eating:</b> He is eating a lot more table food and baby foods. he has even tried cut up avocado and bananas, pancakes, animal crackers, vanilla wafers, and ritz crackers. He is on the same schedule as last month but eating a lot more food and not waking up to nurse in the night.<br />
<b><br /></b><b>sleeping: </b>He is doing great at night (knock on wood). He nurses about 7 p.m., and I wake him up to nurse about 6 a.m. The past 2 weeks, he hasn't woken up once in the middle of the night to eat, maybe only a couple times briefly waking up and then falling back to sleep once we give him his pacifier. I really hope it isn't a phase.<br />
<br />
<b>teething: </b>Still nothing but has learned to chew food anyway. It still appears something is trying to pop out because of the way he chews and drools.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<b>other updates: </b>He is officially crawling and pulling up on things. He first crawled a week after his 7 month birthday and then about 1 week later he crawled up the stairs at our house, and then a week after that he was pulling up and standing in his crib and all over our house. His school even sent me a video (below) of him completely crawling up the stairs to the slide at school. He proceeding to try to go down the slide too. This boy needs to slow down. Other developments include moving his hands to do the actions with Itsy Bitsy Spider, still only saying Dada and Hi, waving and clapping. He also is trying to do the sign language for "more" when we eat. He also has officially sat at the "big kid" table at school, I am so proud.<br />

We jammed packed our two days there and Sawyer even said it was the most fun weekend EVER! He was obsessed with the view from our hotel room, Busch Stadium!<br />
<br />
First stop was the doctor's appointment, which I am happy to report went great. He got a clean bill of health and a full release with no restrictions!<br />
<br />
Then we headed to Ikea, the Turtle Park (it was 75 degrees out!), a trip up to the 360 bar/restaurant at our hotel for view of the city, and finished the night with dinner at Llywelyn's Pub in Soulard with my family to celebrate my cousin's engagement.<br />
<br />
Saturday we got up early had breakfast at one of my new favorites, Snarf's, and went to the City Museum. We could have spent all day there but needed to head home so finished off the weekend with lunch at Kirkwood Station Brewery.<br />

Yesterday I learned that trying to get photos of little boys and girls at a birthday party is practically impossible, however....I was able to capture some pretty fun moments from Sawyer's 4th celebration.<br />
<div>
He wanted to have it again at Hammons Field Training Facility and this year we even had a bounce house and a surprise appearance from the Springfield Cardinals Mascots, Louis & Fetch! They totally got mobbed by the kids but were great sports. Scout had a blast too, enjoyed crawling around and seeing all the other kids playing. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Check out and download all the Party Pics here:<a href="https://karitravels.shutterfly.com/4429" target="_blank"> <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">https://karitravels.shutterfly.com/4429</span></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My mom made the most adorable Paw Patrol cake, that was a huge hit with the kids! I ordered some coordinating cookies from Stacey's Sweets in Ozark. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Thank you to all Sawyer's friends and family for coming to help him celebrate. Also thanks to Scott with the cardinals and of course Louie & Fetch for their time. Sawyer was tuckered out after and could not stop talking about how much fun he had! I am still trying to wrap my head around the fact that I have a four year old!<br />

At 3:59 p.m. Sawyer Farris Hamra will be 4!!!! What?! How in the world did this happen?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There are so many things about him that I love, especially having a little best friend.<br />
<br />
As Sawyer's Mom, I have learned many things about life and myself...<br />
he centers me<br />
he amazes me<br />
he humbles me<br />
he challenges me<br />
he infuriates me (darn threenagers)<br />
and best of all he makes me slow down and enjoy the little things.<br />
<br />
He is my favorite little comedian and negotiator. Way too smart for his years. Daily, I'm left in awe of the new things he has learned and appears to understand (like how to change a tire).<br />
<br />
I'm honestly not really sure how I went 28 years without him. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As I laid him in bed last night, I said "Sawyer it is your last night as a three year old"</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
He started to cry and his heartbreaking yet adorable response, "I don't want to be 4 mom because then I'm adult and I don't want to be big like you."</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Me: "but you have many years until that happens sweetie"</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
S: "but I've been eating so much more lately and you told me that makes me big"</div>

Touché and happy birthday my sweet Soy Bean, we love you to the Infinity and Beyond!<br />

More than 6,100 O'Reilly store managers gathered for education and awards. My conference responsibilities, with the help of a wonderful team, grows each year and ranges from signage, presentations, name badges, photography, and really all the behind-the-scenes stuff to make sure it goes off without a hitch. It is an exciting but exhausting job and not for the faint of heart. Each year I learn more and feel more confident in my role. My favorite part is that I get to take some awesome photos and meet and/or reconnect with some incredible people across the country. The hardest thing about last week was being away from my boys for 7 days. Scout even crawled for the first time while I was gone! BUT...they were in amazing hands with John and my parents helping out. His teachers sent me videos and photos that helped too.<br />
<br />
Congrats to Tracie & Julie for another amazing conference, you ladies are rock stars!<br />

If you know him, you know this never happens! His strength is not in planning. Nevertheless, he not only set up his Mom and Derrick to come watch our boys but booked us a room at Big Cedar Lodge, a couples massage , and organized the day with a visit to Copper Run Distillery (a tradition of ours) and a golf cart tour at Top of the Rock complete with a bottle of the cider we had been saving from our trip to Dallas. I was very impressed! While it was cold, we packed warm clothes and snuggled on our outside tour, it was very romantic. I gotta say, I sure did snag a keeper!<br />

Another month down and I am still in awe at home fast these little people learn....you quickly forget from baby 1 to baby 2. One big thing that happened since last month was he had surgery. We didn't post much about it because it involves what some would consider sensitive subject matter but as you know, we like to share our experience in hope of helping others going through the same thing. He had Hypospadias surgery which involved redirecting his urethra, which we discovered had a 90 degree curve and pointed downward instead of up. We traveled to St. Louis to have the surgery with specialist Dr. Palagiri at Mercy Children's. The scariest part for me was the Caudal Block anesthesia, which is similar to an epidural. Well, we are a week and a half out from surgery and he is healing great! The first few days were rough and it involved dressing changes and soaks but by day 5, the dressing came off and he was practically back to his old self. We have to avoid any type of straddle toys until after our 1 month follow up. After all the healing is done, you won't ever know he had surgery. I did learn that not only is Scout a tough cookie but pain is definitely mental. </div>

Here is Sawyer at 7 months. Size is almost identical but the big differences are Sawyer was crawling and had his two bottom teeth. He had also already started saying Mama: <a href="http://www.hamratime.com/2012/09/where-to-start-our-boy-is-now-mobile.html" target="_blank">Sawyer 7 Months</a></div>

<br />
<b>weight: </b>17 lbs 8 oz. - at 6 months he was 16 lbs 8 oz.<br />
<br />
<b>height:</b> 27 in. - at 6 months he was 27 inches<br />
<br />
<b>clothing:</b> 6-9 months and 9-12. Wears size 2 shoes - same as last month<br />
<br />
<b>diapers:</b> Size 3 - same as last month<br />
<br />
<b>eating: </b>we have dropped a bottle at school so he has a pretty strict routine. Nurse at 6 am, oatmeal at 8:30 am, nurse at 11:30 am, veggie/fruit at 2:30 pm, nurse at 5:30, veggie/fruit with oatmeal at 6:30 and then he goes to be about 7 pm. If he wakes int he middle of the night I nurse as well. We have starting trying puffs and teething biscuits and he seems to like both.<br />
<b><br /></b><b>sleeping: </b>He had a rough couple days last week after surgery and we think he is teething but besides that he has gone back to sleeping most of the night (7 pm - 5/6 am)<br />
<br />
<b>teething: </b>As I mentioned last month, we thought he had two teeth coming in. But when we went to the pediatrician she said what we thought was a tooth was actually a cyst (nothing painful or an issue) that will eventually go away. It looks exactly like a little tooth popping through, ha! He is drooling and chewing on everything though, so I imagine something is trying to come through.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<b>other updates: </b>New this month is he is trying to wave and clap and lots of noises that sounds like he is trying to talk. He still isn't officially crawling but getting around by dragging himself. He gets up on all four and rocks but hasn't gotten himself to propel forward.<br />

<br />
I have to remind myself of this constantly because having two kids definitely keeps your mind busy. So, just like Sawyer, I scheduled a 6-month photo shoot with J Design and they turned out adorable (of course!)<br />
<br />
It was a very cold day as you can tell by his cute red nose but Scout was a trooper. His big brother was NOT! He refused to get in one photo and threw quite the fit when he saw Scout sitting in "His" yellow chair. Oh well, Sawyer's 6 month photo didn't have Scout in them so it was equal.<br />
<br />
Here is Sawyer's 6 month photos (on a much warmer day), amazing how similar they are but also very much their own personalities: <a href="http://www.hamratime.com/2012/09/sawyers-6-month-photos.html">http://www.hamratime.com/2012/09/sawyers-6-month-photos.html</a><br />

We had family visit us and didn't have to travel. It was relaxing and exactly what we needed with our hectic schedules.<br>
<br>
However, we did travel this past weekend to St. Louis to visit my mom's side of the family but we rode with my parents.<br>
<br>
New Year's Eve was even more relaxed and we did the "fake" kids countdown off NetFlix for Sawyer and we were in bed by 9 pm. Gosh are we lame, ha!<br>

I surprised him with a trip to Dallas to see the Dallas Cowboys play the Jets and it was a once-in-a-life time trip. With the help of some of our friends at the Dallas Convention and Visitors Bureau, we had field level suite tickets and got to get right up close to the action. The whole weekend was full of amazing experiences, not sure I can ever top this. <div><br></div><div>Special thanks to Gayla & Ed, Ruben, Julie & Brian, Tracie, and my wonderful parents for helping me pull this off!</div><div><br></div><div>Here are the pictures and videos...<br>

Where has this half a year gone? We seriously have the sweetest, smiliest little guy I have ever met. He honestly is happy 90% of the time and when he isn't it is usually always he is hungry, wet, or tired. His favorite person is his brother Sawyer, and as long as he is around he is a happy camper. He is super ticklish and loves peak-a-boo</div>

It is a little creepy how similar they are this month, almost everything is identical even weight. I have a feeling these boys are going to be like peas in a pod!</div>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<u>Scout 6 Month stats</u></h3>
<b>weight: </b>16 lbs 8 oz. 25 percentile - at 5 months he was 16 lbs. 7 oz.<br />
<br />
<b>height:</b> 27 in. 75 percentile - at 5 months he was 26 inches<br />
<br />
<b>clothing:</b> 6-9 months and 9-12. Wears size 2 shoes<br />
<br />
<b>diapers:</b> Size 3<br />
<br />
<b>eating: </b>nursing and takes a bottle at school every 4-5 hours, with oatmeal in the morning and fruits/veggies at lunch and at dinner. He has tried most of the foods so far, he isn't a fan of beets like Sawyer was but mostly everything else he has liked.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>sleeping: </b>At night he usually falls asleep about 7 p.m. and wakes up to eat about midnight and then at 5 am. He usually sleeps through the night 1-2 times a week but not every night like Sawyer was doing. He is awesome at just falling asleep though, once I feed him...he is out. UPDATE: Right after I posted this we had major sleep regression, he has been waking up 3-4 times a night just upset. His doctor told us to let him cry for about 15 minutes to help him learn to "self soothe", it is so tough! We are on night two and so far it hasn't improved, fingers crossed we see some changes or we are going to be one cranky family.<br />
<br />
<b>teething: Well I thought he had </b>2 teeth are coming in. But when we went to the pediatrician she said what we thought was a tooth was actually a cyst (nothing painful or an issue) that will eventually go away. It looks exactly like a little tooth popping through, ha!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<b>other updates: </b>This boy wants to crawl! He gets himself around but not up on all fours yet. He can get his belly off the ground for short periods of time. He has starting rolling to get where he needs to go. He can sit up by himself for brief periods too or when he puts him hands down for support. He loves to jump when we put him on his feet. He is saying something that sounds like "dada" and lots of other coos and aahs.<br />

Last weekend was filled with fun festive celebrations for the holidays. Friday was my work Christmas Party at my boss Julie's house. Taking a group picture proved to be hilarious! Saturday morning was Breakfast with Santa which I help organize at the boys' school. Scout loved Santa!! Saturday afternoon was the Christmas parade in downtown Springfield. Sawyer loved it this year, he waved at every car that drove by and made sure to say "Merry Christmas" every time. He came home with quite the candy collection. Sunday we had our Annual Bestie Ornament painting at Firehouse pottery with Trina and Megan. John brought Scout by for a quick footprint ornament and Sawyer stayed with me to paint a few for the tree. Next year will be interesting with Scout and Baby Johnson #2 joining the group.</div>

Our precious Scout was baptized this past Sunday, Nov. 29 at Redeemer Lutheran Church (Nixa campus) by Pastor Jeff Sippy. Pastor Sippy also baptized Sawyer at 5 months and married John and me. We were surrounded by lots of friends and family, and Scout's Godparents Katrina Appelquist and Matt Marinec (all the way from DC). Scout did amazing too, didn't cry and was smiling almost the whole time. He wore the same tux that John was baptized in 33 years ago and Sawyer was baptized in 3 years ago.<br />
It was a beautiful day and we feel so blessed to have prayers and support for Scout. We look forward to see him develop his faith as he grows.<br />

However, it is such a great time to do so and we feel blessed to not only get the opportunity to get together but also enjoy it! We also get to celebrate with friends through hosting our annual Friendsgiving. Scout's had a wonderful first thanksgiving and was quite the trooper.<br />
Here are the pictures:<br />

5 months already? Where has the time gone? Scout is growing like a weed and is almost double his birth weight! We are also starting to notice he is looking less and less like Sawyer! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
Here is how Sawyer stacked up when he was five months. Very close again, especially with eating and sleeping. Scout has him a little on weight but boy was Sawyer more mobile at this point. Not that Scout isn't but not as crazy as Mr. Sawyer!<br />

<br />
<b>weight: </b>16 lbs. 7 oz. - at 3 months he was 15 lbs. 2 oz.<br />
<br />
<b>height:</b> 26 inches- at 3 months he was 25 1/4 inches<br />
<br />
<b>clothing:</b> 6 and 6-9 months, some 9 months fit him too.<br />
<br />
<b>diapers:</b> up to Size 3<br />
<br />
<b>eating:</b> Going longer now 4 to 4.5 hours during the day. We have introduced more solids so I think it is keeping with him longer. He has tried rice cereal, oatmeal, carrots, sweet potatoes and peas. He has loved them all too! At school he takes one 6 oz. bottle in the morning after his cereal, eats veggies at lunch and I nurse him around 2 pm.<br />
<br />
<b>sleeping: </b>Still sleeping at great at night. He goes about 5 hours in between feedings and a few times went 6-8 hours. He is starting to do better with sleeping at school too.<br />
<br />
<b>teething: </b>A little tooth has made an appearance, it hasn't completely broken through but the top of it is through the gum.<br />

<br /></div>
<b>other updates:</b> He is sitting up great supported and has almost complete neck control now. He will lunge forward towards the spoon when we are feeding him. He loves tummy time and sitting in his bumbo. He like to converse with anyone around him. One of his favorite things to do while on the floor is play with his toes.<br />

Scout had his 4-month checkup today and we got to see how much he has grown, unfortunately he had to get some shots. We did get the ok to start cereal and some foods. He has definitely made some big changes over the month as far as his strength and movements. He is more active and vocal. We are starting to really see his personality. As you can tell by the photos I post, he is so happy and playful. I can already tell he is going to be quite the social little guy. After reading what Sawyer was doing at this age, we decide to bring out the Jolly Jumper and he loved it! We also plan to let him try out the walker this week too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
Here is how Sawyer stacked up when he was four months. Once again they are super close, even the exact same weight!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<b>weight: </b>15 lbs. 2 oz. (41 percentile) - at 3 months he was 14 lbs. 6 oz.<br />
<br />
<b>height:</b> 25 1/4 inches (52 percentile) - at 3 months he was 25 inches<br />
<br />
<b>clothing:</b> 3-6 and 6 months. 3 months is really too small. Wearing 6-12 month socks<br />
<br />
<b>diapers:</b> still Size 2<br />
<br />
<b>eating:</b> Same as last month.....breast milk, eating every 3-5 hours depending on how active he is. Earring longer each time for 15-18 minutes. We think he might be ready for some cereal/oatmeal because he isn't sleeping as long at night now. He seems to be hungry every 4-5 hours at night too when it used to be more like 6-8.<br />
<br />
<b>sleeping: </b>He is great at sleeping at night, will eat and go right to bed but not sleeping as long as he used to, 4-5 hour stretches. Sleeping better at school now though, has even taken a 3-hour nap there.<br />
<br />
<b>teething: </b>No sign of teeth yet but he is drooling like crazy and constantly chews on his WHOLE hand, yes the whole thing fits in his little mouth. <br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<b>other updates:</b> Holding his head up on his own and even acting like he wants to crawl. He talks a ton, constantly cooing and babbling like he is trying to converse with us. He reminds me of Sawyer, always moving his arms and legs, especially to music or when he is excited.<br />

When Sawyer was a baby, my mother and I got together every week and made his baby food. We would visit the farmer's market or produce section at the grocery store and experiment with all different types of food for him.<br />
<br />
Now that Scout is old enough to try foods, we have started the tradition again. We have already made carrots and sweet potatoes...he has approved of both. My mom found small containers at Dollar General (4 for $1) since I had thrown all Sawyer's out. They are the perfect size.<br />
<br />
To help other Moms out there who might be going through this same stage, I have compiled my entire list of baby food recipes in this one blog, in order.<br />
<br />
For us, it saved money but also was comforting to know exactly what we are feeding our boys.<br />
Let me know if you have any questions!<br />
Have fun!<br />

We had J Design Studio take some Fall Family photos for us since we hadn't taken a good family of four picture yet, plus we needed one for our Christmas Card. Once again, they did a wonderful job. We just love what they do. <div>
Here are our favorites <a href="http://You can see all our pictures here" target="_blank">(you can see them all here</a>)<div>

We have tried another service, Green Chef. This was another one my friend Katie has tried and sent some free meals my way (free meal code is below if you are interested).<br />
<br />
If you want to review what we though to HelloFresh, read my post here: <a href="http://www.hamratime.com/2015/08/meal-delivery-hellofresh.html">http://www.hamratime.com/2015/08/meal-delivery-hellofresh.html</a><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>HOW IT WORKS:</b> Same as the other companies I have reviewed except they are USDA Certified Organic with no synthetic pesticides, modified organisms, artificial ingredients, or GMOs/antibiotics plus eco-friendly packaging.<br />
<br />
<b>PRICING </b><br />
$10.49 per person per meal for 3 Vegetarian Recipes<br />
$11.99 per person per meal for 3 Omnivore recipes (veggie, meat, seafood)<br />
$13.49 per person per meal for 3 Carnivore recipes (meat and seafood)<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>HOW IT ARRIVES:</b> In a large box, all ingredients wrapped in a giant insulated bag with cold packs and instructions, color coded. They aren't individually wrapped per meal, but do color coded stickers on each ingredient that matches the instruction sheets.<br />

<b>Verdict: </b>We loved the scallion rice cakes, crispy and very tasty. I liked the fish but wasn't a huge fan of the ragu. Overall it was very good, can't wait to make the rice cakes again.<b><br /></b><br />

<br />
<b>Verdict: </b>Everything was very good. It was hard to get the chicken to cook thoroughly but not burn the outside because of the molasses marinade. It was still tasty but a little over crispy for my taste. The pearl couscous was delicious!<b><br /></b><br />

<b>Verdict: </b>Definitely my favorite of all of them. The arugula pesto was amazing and I actually saved some to put on my sandwiches the rest of the week. The balsamic glaze on the tomato salad was super tasty! I will be making this again.</div>

<div>
<b>Finally Opinion: </b>Very happy that they are Certified Organic on all ingredients compared to the other companies. I wasn't a huge fan of the color coding because the colors they sent were too close to tell (pink and red) when in the refrigerator. I actually got a couple ingredients mixed up. If they picked different colors I think it would work great.<br />

Again...here are our PROs and CONs<br />
<b>My biggest PROS for using a delivery service:</b><br />
<ul>
<li>It has prevented us from eating out, we have been having dinner at home almost every night.</li>
<li>Opened us up to trying new types of recipes I would have never thought of</li>
<li>taught me cooking techniques I usually shy away from (ex. cutting corn off the cob instead of buying frozen or canned corn)</li>
<li>And my favorite, I get 20-40 minutes of ME time to cook. It has been a huge de-stresser but still Sawyer likes to help with some recipes and that is still just as enjoyable.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<b>And CONS:</b></div>
<div>
I really don't have cons except maybe the choices of how many meals and for how many people. It would be nice to get one for 3 people and maybe just 2 times a week<b>.</b></div>

Thanks to our amazing hostess we were able to see the Dallas Aurora Festival on Friday evening and then see Taylor Swift in concert Saturday night. We may work long hours but we make sure we get in some fun time too! One of my favorite artist, Vance Joy opened for her as well as Shawn Mendes. Taylor also brought out a surprise guest, Ellie Goulding to perform. She packed the house with 62,000 fans. Her show was incredible, definitely a must see!<br>
<br>
It was the first time I left Scout overnight but I did better than I thought, I honestly didn't have time to think about how much I missed him. I joke that I felt like I pumped all over the city of Dallas but it is pretty much true. Traveling as a nursing mom is hard work.<br>
Boy, was I glad to snuggle all my boys when I got home Sunday and it was a beautiful day so we enjoyed a nice long walk as a family. It was the first time Scout got to ride facing out in the Bjorn too.<br>
<br>
Here are some videos from the festival and the concert. Funny thing is I uploaded the full Bad Blood performance to my YouTube channel and I got a notice from YouTube that is has been blocked due to a copyright claim. That has never happened with any of the other concert videos I have posted. So here are the others ones they allowed me to share.....<br>
