Burke's 4 Months Old!
On Saturday, Burke turned 4 months! Now he enters his 5th month of life and it will be a busy one. On Sunday Burke will earn his first flying wings as we head out over the Pacific Ocean headed for Hawai'i. We will be staying with our good friends Adam and Myriah Brady on Oahu. We are all heading to the Big Island 19th thru the 24th to check out the volcanoes and lava flows. Justin and Adam hope to ski and surf in the same day. On the 20th I celebrate my birthday! We head home on the 25th and then on the 27th Gramma Wanna comes for her second visit. It'll be a great month!
Burke had his well-baby check up today. He did great and he took the shots a little better this time. We were in the fire truck room!
4 month stats:
- 16 lbs 6 ozs - 75-90th percentile
- 27.2 inches long - 90th percentile
- 16 inch head circumference - 50th percentile
- He is meeting all developmental standards for 4 month old babies
Look how long he is!
Go Gonzaga!

Justin Goes Outside
Denali in the distance.
Justin is the one enjoying the outdoors. Thankfully Anchorage is teeming with other outdoor enthusiasts. Justin and a fellow Corps of Engineers Officer, Matt, head out to enjoy the snow in the mountains above post. We've received some fresh powder in the last few days and the boys couldn't resist some after work indulgence in snow. I'm pretty sure they'll be out finding fresh tracks this Friday. You can check out Matt's blog with better pictures and descriptions here: http://www.eastcoastice.blogspot.com/
Justin is also testing his skills on the Corps racing team in an intramural league on Friday nights at the ski hill on base. He's inherited a new pair of racing skis that help him go a little faster.

My Pants Are Too Short!
Mom waited too long to put my cool suspenders on. 3 month clothes are too short for me!

Missing Out on the Snow

Travel
Justin is taking the weekend off from the snow, not his choice but mine. Too bad too because we've been getting some new snow finally. He was on Burke duty this morning while I went and had my hair done. He's such a brave guy to spend time with Burke especially since Burke is refusing to take his bottle.
Tomorrow we're heading up to Wasilla to enjoy the Super Bowl with friends and their very new very large TV.
This time next Sunday we'll be on our way to Hawai'i! Hopefully there will be no snow there.

Baby
Burke is developing his personality. It's so fun to watch his expressions and listen to his babble. Sometimes just before he pops his eyes open he'll make a little "razzberry" and say a few words. When this happens I know he's waking up on the right side of the crib! One of my favorite things is his eyebrows. They're so expressive. Usually they're in a very concerned position.
We're not sure if he's getting ready to sprout some teeth but he's become a bit more fussy. I bet we jinxed ourselves by always saying what a great little baby he is :). Well, still he's an awesome little guy!
We're saying our prayers that he's a good traveler. 13 days until we head to Hawai'i!
