4 Months!

Well, McKenon is officially 4 months old! Today we had his well-child check and his is doing great! He is a very big boy! Here are his stats:

Weight: 16 pounds 7 oz.
Height: 26 inches.

My big boy Cohen (he was 10lbs at birth) stats at 6 months:
Weight: 15 pounds 1 oz.
Height: 25 3/4 inches.

Lachlan's at 6 months:
Weight: 12 pounds 7 oz. (Mack is a full 4 pounds heavier)!
Height: 25 inches

So...he is doing so great! I just can't believe he is so big. He is in the 75th percentile for weight, height and head circ. He obviously has no trouble eating-at all. I wish he could be a little smaller so I could enjoy the baby stage a little more but that is just not to be. Oh well, I am still enjoying him immensely! He had his shots and did great too...now he is sleeping.

As you will notice in the pictures below he has bright blue eyes. All 3 of the Boyd boys have bright blue eyes. Why is this amazing you say? Well, Drew and I both have dull brown eyes! However, three of the boys' great grandfathers had blue eyes...very strong recessive (according to the doctor only a 1 in 4 chance of us having a blue eyed child). I was hoping for a brown eyed baby to shake things up a bit but nope...they are beautiful though.

Last but not least-Lachlan started riding his dirt bike this week. He got it when he was 5 but after running into a barbwire fence hadn't wanted to ride it. Everytime our neice Hannah comes over she rides it, and Lachlan decided he was ready. Well we haven't gotten him off it. I was going to take some pictures just now but it must have run out of gas because he isn't riding. He is very excited to do some things to help Mommy so he can earn some extra money to buy gas-we will help him but he has to contribute too (esp. with the price of gas-it requires premium!).

All for now! Hope everyone has a great weekend! We are headed to Orcas tonight...Yipee! We are hoping for good weather!

Mr. Mack just keeps getting cuter by the blog (and bigger too, it sounds like!)

Those are BEAUTIFUL eyes. More to observe the happenings of his brothers, right?
And I love these big babies...or chunky dunk, as we call ours :)
