Happy 4 month birthday
At Connor's 4 month pediatrician appointment, his stats were:
15 lb. 14 oz. (55th percentile)
26.0" tall (80th percentile)
16.1" head circumference (45th percentile)
For the most part, Connor's routine hasn't changed in the past month. He eats 5 oz every 3 hours, poops once every 5 days, sleeps 5 hours continuously at night, and naps 3 to 4 times per day.
He is smiling and laughing more, and he's more aware of his surroundings. This increased awareness is often a bad thing because now he cries whenever we're out of sight.

Ryan's school activities
Ryan has been going to preschool for 6 months now, and so far we've been fairly impressed by the number of activities they've planned for the kids. Plus, starting around 2 months ago, the class started posting daily reports of the day's activities. Here are some of the pictures that Ryan's teacher took…
Practicing with kids' chopsticks (which are really more like tongs)…
Learning about Hanukkah…
Sifting flour and oats…
Making bread…
Churning butter…
The teacher asked for one volunteer to bring eggs for a class activity, but due to a miscommunication, every parent brought in a dozen eggs…and so began the recurring WORLD OF EGGS cooking lesson.
Lesson 1: Scrambled eggs
Lesson 2: Quiche
Lesson 3: Migas
Lesson 4: Huevos Rancheros…
Ryan playing with magnetics shapes. I was impressed to see Ryan was able to replicate the picture below the template...
Daily Mandarin class…
Watercolors…
Once a week Ryan pairs up with an older child from a different classroom to read together…
Learning about shadows…
Baking a flour-less chocolate cake…
Crafts. Ryan used a whole bottle of glue that day (half of which went on his clothes)…
Will it float?
Wool spinning demonstration…
For Chinese New Years, the class cooked fried rice for lunch. Also, I was asked to give a brief presentation to explain the holiday. I went prepared with about 5 minutes of material, but I couldn't keep their attention for more than a minute. It didn't help that Brooke was setting up pastries for them on the other side of the room.
Making valentines cards with lollipops…
Mr. Otter is the class pet. Mr. Otter doesn't like spending weekends alone at school, so he stays at the home of a different child each weekend. Mr. Otter goes wherever the child goes. Here's Ryan's weekend with Mr. Otter…
