Belated Christmas present and a Rolling baby

I probably should be doing another load of laundry but I decided I should take a quick moment and update our family blog.  This past couple weeks have been busy and full of illness.  Not sure how but I re sprained my right wrist.  It is an old injury (I have lots of those from my days working with kids with mental problems.)  It doesn't seem to want to heal.  It will feel fine and then I wake up it will ache and cause pain with every twist.  Matt woke up one morning with stomach flu symptoms soon me and the girls followed. Of course it was New Year's Eve and I had planned to take the girls to a fun run.  But everyone was sick so maybe this summer we will find one to do as a family.  Thankful all Alex got was a runny nose as flu can be dangerous for him.  (Yes everyone has had their flu shot except Alex who is too young.  Ask Emme she will tell you all about going to jail to get her shot)  I was called at the Family History consultant in our ward and have been trying to find time to prepare a lesson.  Good thing I know the material well that I can teach it with out much preparation some weeks and since I run on about four hours of sleep every night.   Though I am ever so thankful to my wonderful husband who will take care of Alex once a week so I can get a full night sleep. 
    Alex has turned four months.  He has started rolling over to his stomach but instead of trying to learn to roll on his back he is trying to crawl.  He lays on his stomach and pushes with his feet.  He gets very angry as he doesn't get any where but maybe a couple of inches.  He has discovered the love of rice cereal and his high chair.  He loves to just sit in it chew on his fingers and laugh at who ever is giving him attention. Alex loves to smile and laugh.  When I put him on the floor to play and I go into another room and come back he is not anywhere near where I put him.  Emme claims he rolls.  However he never does while I am watching him so I am think she is moving him to mess with my mind.  Alex now weight 18.13 lbs. and 26.5 inches tall.  His big feet hang over the edge of his car seat.  He has is wearing 6 month clothes only because of his height.  He looks like he is drowning in the them.  His heart condition remains the same and we continue to watch him closely.  He will have another echo cardiogram when he turns one.  Till them his doctor takes his vitals closely and we watch for certain signs.  She finally gave the ok to move him into his crib.  Which he is slowly adjusting to.  In two weeks he will have to see a plastic surgeon as the hemotomas on his head from his birth are calcifying which means he might need another surgery but we are praying that he wont need it.  You would never know he has health problems from looking at him.  Our giggley red headed blued boy.  His sisters just adore him.
   Today we got a belated Christmas gift.  The mail must be really backed up in Alaska because it was mailed before Christmas.  It was from my older brother Chris and his wife Melissa.  It was so thoughtful and unexpected.  My brother and his family live in Wasilla Alaska.  We haven't seen them in nearly five years.  They have only seen the kids in pictures and talked to them on the phone. They sent the girls each a cute jacket from Alaska Chicks which has really cute clothes.  And me and Matt each gift cards to Olive Garden.  (when I was pregnant I crave Olive Garden like crazy)  Even being so far away they took the time show us they were still thinking about our kids and us.  Honestly I would have been happy with a Christmas card.  The girls refused to take the jackets off till it was dinner they didn't want to get them dirty.  Someday our goal is take the kids to Alaska to meet all their cousins, aunts and uncles.  It will take a lot of saving though. Sad Face :(

He just laughs and smiles even when he is being naughty.

He loves chewing on his fingers and drooling. 
We are expecting that four teeth will come in at once like his sisters

The back of their jackets. 

She wanted to take a picture to show her Uncle Chris and Auntie Mel her pretty jacket.

She was so happy she couldn't contain herself she was all over the place. She loves pink

Finally got miss sassy to take a picture in her new jacket.
