4 months

Eli had his 4 month checkup today and he's still growing (obviously). He weighed in at 17.1 pounds (85th percentile) and is 27 in. long (96th percentile). That was about what I expected. I feel like he just had a major growth spurt the past week, so I thought he would be more long than filled out. In a week or two, he'll probably chub out again. :) It's crazy how fast babies grow! I was just looking at pictures from a week or so ago, and he looked really chubby right before his growth spurt, and now he looks so long! He is a cutie.

Last weekend we had fun with my mom and sister. They drove out last Wednesday to get ready for Heidi to start school. Here's what we did:

• Thursday: Heidi went down to Provo to buy books, audition for choir, etc.; mom went to the music store for a few hours; I stayed home. That night I had a Relief Society social; Jeremy watched Eli; Heidi and mom went to grandparents for dinner

• Friday: Heidi, mom, and I (and Eli) spent the day in Provo moving Heidi in and grocery shopping! It was exhausting but we pretty much got it all done.

• Saturday: Jeremy's birthday! My mom watched Eli that night and Jeremy and I went miniature golfing! It was really fun. We actually tied. Jeremy was ahead in the beginning, but then I found my groove and caught up. :)

• Sunday: My mom and I sang in church and Heidi accompanied us. We then had my grandparents over for dinner and we all ate more yummy birthday cake (pictures below).

• Monday: Mom went home. Heidi started school and had callbacks for Singers!

• Tuesday: Heidi found out she made it into Singers! Congrats Heidi!!

So that's what we've been up to. We're looking forward to the 3-day weekend. Here are some pictures for your enjoyment:

I think Eli looks like his cousin Cooper in this picture (when Cooper was a baby):
This is what I see when I got to get Eli up from his naps:
