Bouncers and Bleeds...

I ran to Wal-Mart yesterday after work to pick up diapers for Eagan and while I was there I decided that I should go ahead and get him a bouncer.  He has an activity center at GiGi and Papa's house and has a blast playing in it a couple of times a day.  We got the Bright Starts Bounce-A-Bout simply because the reviews that I had read were good and I honestly thought, "If I were a baby, this would definitely be my kind of toy."  Got that booger home and had it pretty well put together before church, but finished a few last minute things (ie, stuff I had assembled incorrectly that Brad had to take apart and put back together) when we got home.  When we put Eagan in it, his eyes got soooo big.  He started smiling and giggling and went to work figuring out how to play with each toy.  No doubt, it was a success.  McKenzie pulled up a chair and they spent a good 20 minutes playing together before she went to bed.

Let me tell you, that boy loves his big sister. He was full on belly laughing at her last night and couldn't seem to stop.  I love to watch the two of them together... when McKenzie isn't trying to squash him or choke him to death that is.  I hope they grow up loving on each other and enjoying one another's company.

This morning, Kenzie ran into our bedroom yelling that she had a bleed.  The poor kid had blood on her hands and shirt and I instantly thought that she had cut herself getting out of bed.  Not so.  God bless her, she got a nose bleed as soon as her little feet his the floor this morning.  When we managed to get it to stop, she looked at me with very concerned eyes and said, "It got on the floor mama."  How many 3 year olds would ever be concerned that they got something in the carpet?  She helped me get the Resolve and clean up the mess before we left for work. Looks like she will have to limit her outside play time today just to be safe.  Unfortunately for her, Joseph had nose bleeds throughout his childhood.  He has pretty much outgrown them as an adult though. This is likely going to be a continual issue.

I also wanted to go ahead and put Eagan's 4 month stats on here just so I don't forget:
On August 15, 2011 he weighed 21 lbs 2 oz, was 26.5 inches long, and had a head circumference of 13 inches.  The doctor recommended that we continue trying to space his feedings and start giving him a couple tablespoons of baby cereal each morning and each night to try to cut back his milk consumption.  The big guy is off the growth charts for 4 months.  Our doctor reiterates to me each time we see him that Eagan is the biggest breastfed baby that he has ever seen.  At least he won't forget him I guess!

4 month photos are scheduled with Sarah Pharris this Saturday.  I am hoping to get some good ones of JoJo and McKenzie with him as well!
