Jill is evidently really funny to people in the 4 month age group, and she had Lauren cracking up the other night. I managed to get a quick video with my phone while she was carrying on.

Lauren turns 4 months
We took Lauren in for her 4 month check this morning, and the good news is she is a healthy and very happy little girl. We thought she had really taken off and was starting to put on some weight, but she still only hit the scales in the 15th percentile for weight. Cooper was always in the 25th percentile, so she isn't too far off.
She was 60% on height and 40% on head, both a little less than Cooper typically measured out but I'm sure she is about to take off. No signs of any heart issues that had us scared for the first couple months, she just seems to be doing really well. She is making it from 10pm to 6am most nights and is quite happy unless she has a dirty diaper or she is hungry, which evidently she is hungry a lot since the poor thing is only 15th percentile on weight.
Some pics from the appointment...
She sure seems happy for someone who is starving.
Cooper and I read books while Lauren got her checkup
Then Jill took the kids to the park to play on a gorgeous 75 degree day, where Cooper demonstrated yet again his "super" smile...

Milestones
My baby girl started rolling over in the last few days, won't be long and she'll be mobile. She is approaching the fun stage where everything is giggles and new experiences. Cooper continues to amaze us with what he picks up on and how much he knows. I think I continue to amaze Jill at how much I can forget....
Cooper borrowed a zebra scooter from Reese last week and he has been loving it. He rides it around the house, around the neighborhood and we even to it to the park last week. It is his pride and joy these days, so I grabbed a few pics as Jill was heading out for a run.
Jill continues to do great on running with the whole crew sans Joel. I don't know how she does it, but she does.
And a couple of pics from a month or so back that had gotten lost but now are found.

Hitting Summer in full stride
Always seem to be on the move with this bunch, Wyoming, Colorado, Texas, Oklahoma and places in between. Lauren is getting close to rolling over, and Cooper just never stops moving. Jill and I just try to keep one a piece in sight, implementing a man to man defense to keep either of them from getting into trouble, or at least minimize the trouble that they do get into.
Some pics from the last few weeks...
Lauren working on tummy time
Their Mom must be good looking
Cooper got to ride the big carousel at the mall
And then Summer hit and it was time to break out the pool. This kid is already infinitely cooler than me.
Now that we've got Lauren off and running, we are looking at getting some fun for the parents soon. Ray LaMontagne concert at Red Rocks tonight, some biking and getting out of the Front Range and heading to the high country for some rest & recoup (or ReCoop) time soon.
