Visitors

We love having visitors! We have had people visit us almost every month since we moved to California. Over the weekend Stephen's brother Justin and his wife traci came to town. Since Stephen's birthday was earlier this week they brought him an awesome birthday present and took us out to dinner. In addition to a Justin bieber card, they got Stephen an external hard drive with tons of movies on it and a thing to play the movies on our tv with. I can't wait to start watching them!

The first day they came in I had work. But Stephen went with them to a giants game. The next day I also had work. But after work we met up with them in San Francisco and walked around haight ashbury which is where all the hippies use to hang out back in the day. We saw some pretty interesting things there.

For dinner we went to Tony's pizza in the north beach neighborhood. It took so long to find a parking spot. Once we got to the restaurant there was a nearly two hour wait. The longest I have ever waited at a restaurant. But we wanted to try it because it was supposed to have the best pizza in the country. It was pretty good. We shared a huge pizza with three sections. It was supposed to be like a three course meal.

The next day we went to breakfast at Bette's ocean view diner on fourth street in Berkeley. It was featured on diners drive ins an dives. Stephen got a banana run souffle pancake and scrapple. I had fish tacos. After breakfast we drove down highway one and stopped at a pretty beach called gray whale cove. We had to walk down a bunch of steps because the beach was surrounded by cliffs. It was really pretty. We even saw a naked guy. But we weren't close enough to make out any body parts.

We finished the day off by walking around union square and looking at some shops. It was fun to have Justin and traci in town. I was sad to see them go. Here are some pics

Four months

Baby Stephen is now four months old! He gained a lot of weight since his last well-baby checkup and now weighs 17 lbs 12 ounces and is 26.5 inches long! He is such a chubster!

He learned how to roll over this month and also knows how to put himself I sleep at night! He doesn't nap well during the day but can sleep up to 12 and a half ours straight at night!

I returned to work this past month. It has been hard to leave baby Stephen. But I'm glad that Stephen is able to stay at home with him while I am at work.

Baby Stephen loves reading stories with his dad and often tries to turn the pages of his board books by himself. Baby Stephen loves being forward-facing in his baby carrier especially when we are out and about at the grocery store or at target.

We sure do love our little guy!
