Friday Family Movie night: The Iron Giant & Robots

I think this weeks movie night and crafts/activities were everyone's favorite to date! Matt usually falls asleep during our movie but not this week.

I try to coordinate books, a craft and a treat with our movie or theme for the week. This week was Robots to go along with The Iron Giant






First we dug through our recycling for Robot parts! Then we cleaned each of the items and painted them silver. Then we let our painted pieces dry and set them aside for later in the week.

Friday we made our Robot treats. We built Robots out of marshmallows and candy. I tried to make things a little easier on myself and grabbed some store bought icing to use as our glue. It didn't work as well as homemade royal icing :( but it was good enough and the kids didn't seem to mind. If we were to make these treats again I think I'd buy the giant marshmallows and be sure to make royal icing at home for glue. 









Our finished yummies

Ava


I made one too :)

Next Matt helped us assemble our Robot. The kids got to each take turns using the hot glue gun to put the Robot together.
















The kids named him Lucianna Jason



They loved the movie The Iron Giant. Ava said her eyes got "watery".
 I cried a little too. :)

Tucker turns 4 months!


Tucker turned 4 months on December 28th
He had his 4 month checkup yesterday.

~

I weigh 16 1/2 pounds
I am in the 74th percentile for weight &
94th for height!

My Doctor says I look very healthy and happy!
I had to get shots and I didn't think that was fun but I wasn't upset for too long, I really liked my nurse so that helped a lot.

Today I tried avocado mixed with breastmilk. My daddy took a video so you can see me eating my first food. I think I liked that green stuff. My mom said my next food will either me a sweet potato or carrots... I can't wait!

December 3rd my mom noticed I rolled from tummy to back 3 times in a row (she remembers the date because it happened 3 times on the 3rd). I've rolled quite a bit since then.

I got to travel a lot this last month and see lots of family! We had Christmas just about everyday for a week! My brother and sister are still confused about when Christmas actually is *giggle*. I really liked seeing my aunts, uncles, cousins & grandparents. Opening presents was fun too. My dad helped me open my gifts. Thank you everyone for all my fun toys, clothes, diapers and wipes! I am really enjoying all of my gifts! 

Here are some cute pictures of me from this last month



That's right... we ALL take after daddy!



It was SOOOO cold!!!

Mommy had a really hard time getting a picture with sooooo many people.
Everyone was so wiggly :)

Tucker 3 months old November 28th


I am SO big now that I am wearing 6 months clothes! My mom can't believe it because my brother and sister were so small when they were my age.

People tell me all the time (still) how strong I am and how happy I am.

I love to smile at people and giggle now too.

I just had my first Thanksgiving this week and I got to meet a lot of my family for the first time. I loved it!
 I got to meet my baby cousins too, we are all practically the same age!

I did a very very good job in the car both to and from Vancouver this last week. I hardly even made a peep! It was a pretty long car ride, about 6-7 hours with stops. I get to sit next to my big brother in the car so that helps me not get lonely. Jason loves to make me smile and giggle, he's pretty funny.

I still sleep with my mommy at night and we are still breastfeeding. I plan on breastfeeding for a good long time just like my big brother and sister did. It's pretty much my favorite thing right now!

I am looking forward to coming home again for Christmas! Can't wait to see all of my family!!!


With my new best friends and cousins
Senna 2 months, Wyatt 1 month and Me 3 months

I am so smiley!!

This is my "what? I am 3 months old?" face




Fun Fact:

I've been to see 3 movies since I've been born!
Hotel Transylvania
Peanuts
&
Mockingjay part 2

I love the movies, I get to eat, sleep and watch the actual movie if I want to. I never get fussy at the movie theatre!
