I just took these two pictures of Mel. He is practicing sitting. Today is his four month birthday, and to celebrate, we went to the Doctor's office to have his four month check-up. Things are great! He is now 14 pounds, 1 ounce, and 26 & 1/2 inches long. That puts him in the 25-50 % for weight, and 90% for height. Wahoo! Up till then in weight he has always been in the 10th %. The sad part of the appointment was the four shots he had. Boo. Though, according to these pictures he doesn't seem to upset about it.

Here are some other pictures. This poopey upside-down one was actually taken awhile ago... but I thought it was still worth documenting. Then, a cute face while we go on a walk...


These here were taken at the hotel just a few days ago when we were seeking refuge from the remains of hurricane Ike. One shows how long he is, and the other, his new facsination.... his feet.

Then, another cute one... thanks for the hat Megan! We can't wait for the cold weather now that we are fashionably prepared. Next....Melvin learns to play the drums on rock band. He nearly jabbed his eye out for this one.

And here is Mel with his Amish Country hat. Then a picture when were returned from our sleepless night at the hotel, and gasless adventurs on the freeway. We were all beat and happy to be home... WITH POWER!

Here is a picture of Mark burping Mel. tres mignon.
