4 months






Sarah at 4 months:
Out of all our children she is the only thumb sucker
Likes the song "Hush Little Baby", especially when Will sings it
Has started laughing a little
Loves being given attention and cries when people ignore her for too long
The kids swear that she is actually saying certain words.  Whether she is or not, the sounds she makes are adorable.
Chews on her bottom lip and smacks her lips together
Can kind of hold a bottle by herself
Is very intrigued by her hands and sits staring at them for a long time
Has earned the nickname "Snugglebug" for obvious reasons

Slimey Spitter

Will and his friend from school wrote a story called "Our Monster Named Slimey Spitter" and I thought it was so clever that I decided to share it (with spelling corrections).

Slimey Spitter has spikes that spit slime.  His tail is 900 kilograms.  His eyes store half his blood.  His belly button has lint.  He is 20 meters tall.  He has spooky red blood.  His horns are poisonous.  If he gets zapped by lightning his brain disappears.  If he cries his eyes turn blue.  His favorite food is snake and worm soup.  He's fire proof.  He's the best behaved student in all monster elementary school.  He rides ghoul bus 110.  His last name is Grrrs.

I'm also very impressed with how much his handwriting has improved in the last few months.
