She is growing

We have been on a month trip to Utah. It was amazing. Remember my last post when I talked about how I hoped the plane ride would go? Well, I think I "planned" for everything but..Ezra getting violently ill on the first leg of our flight. The kids had been up since 4:30am for the 3 hour drive to St. Louis, then the shuttle ride from the parking lot with all our luggage to the airport where we went through you know, the airport stuff, then sat and waited for 2 hours (we were a little early but I'm never going to be left by a plane again). We got on our flight and my little man was in the fetal position on his seat. Not typical behavior for a 2 year old. Turns out from that point on he cried and moaned and was beside himself with a fever and congestion and I think a little motion sickness. So we land for our layover and I am left with a little guy who only wants me to hold him, a baby who can only be held, Chloe (thank goodness) and our luggage. Thankfully, I had the worlds greatest flight attendant (go American Airlines) and she carried all my stuff (which was 3 bags) while I followed. Miracle 1 we had no gate change in Dallas. She said "this never happens". So we just found a comfy seat looking out the window and she got us settled and had to scurry off. Miracle 2...by my first point of tears a sweet man came up and said, "i can tell you need some help. What can I do?" Then he had to leave after a while. I was still in need of help so I said a prayer. Immediately miracle 3...I saw this angel woman and went over and said, "you don't know me, but you look nice and I need some help." She she came over and sat with me for the 3 hour layover. She held the baby, talked and played with Chloe, calmed me. She was truly an angel who Chloe remembers he name being "Grace". Whether or not that is true she was truly an answer to prayer. She didn't just come over and sit for minute till we were settled she sat there, uncomfortably at a point, for the whole 3 hours. Then she helped me on the plane, almost switched her seat, then helped me get off and took us all the way to my mom who was waiting. I'll never ever forget her and hope to always pay that kindness forward.

So...you're more interested in Lola. Here she is at 4 months (she's 5 months today but that will come later) 

She loves to suck her two middle fingers instead of her thumb now.

She is 13 lbs at 5 months. No longer my 9 lb chubbers.

Her first time rolling over came in utah when I hear my dad and brother say, "Lola just rolled over you may want to come see!" 

She is so happy.
She is ticklish in between her back bones just below her neck.
She has the softest most perfect head and the bluest eyes.
She hold my face in both of her hands.
She has started to hold a toy in both hands but gets bored quickly with them or they fall out of reach.
She drools and always wants something in her mouth.
She goes with the flow thank goodness.
She doesn't seem to appreciate her carseat like the other kids did.
She likes to nap in her bed and will nap very long.

Well, we're moving. As of Wednesday we finally found a place...not bad considering we were having to leave our current place by Saturday! It all worked out in the end and I just kept packing knowing it would. I'm assuming stupid AT and T won't get us service till the end of the month but keep checking back.
Happy summer.
