Growing Like a Weed

I took Jack and Spencer for their check-ups today and it was all good news.

We have been working with the doctor to help Jack gain weight, and to monitor his growth as he had a Bone Age Delay last fall. Happily, he is up to 36# (still only about the 3% mark but not a backwards slide) and he is 38" tall - at his all time best 20%!!

Spencer is also growing at 31" tall and 21#. He is running and climbing all the time. I know that he understands lots of words, and he's saying a few of his own.

Logan didn't have an exam but he is also doing great. He's very excited about the caterpillars at school which have entered their chrysalis.

The photo above is from our trip to Murdoch's Farm Store. The baby geese, ducks, and chickens had just arrived. We enjoyed looking around, and we bought some potato starters and straw to try a school project of growing potatoes in an old trash barrel. We are really excited! 😝

Our garden project this summer goes right along with 1st grade science and we are going to try to grow lettuce, beets, potatoes, peas, beans, carrots, and green onions. I will keep you updated!

Jack started 1st grade a couple weeks ago and he is loving it so far. Yay!

Well, that is all for now.

Until next time...

Angel or Devil?

Kids. They are too funny. I had to share this one with all of you. We went to Mass today and tried to sit inside for once. Everything was great, until Jack noticed the missal in the pew had these nice orange and yellow squares or something in the illustration on the cover. He was conviced they were dominoes, but that is a word he struggles to say. So, at an especially quiet time in the Mass he looks at me and says, "damn-yous! damn-yous!" We both had a mix of embarassment and laughter. Only out of the mouth of a 2 year old! We went to the back of the church soon after that. :)

Happy Birthday Jack

Here are some photos from Jack's 2nd birthday day, and party. He was so excited he was telling everyone happy birthday! We 'filled' his room with balloons while he was sleeping. He was so excited to wake up to balloons! Jack wanted to pose with his new favorite toy - Buzz! They are still usually only separated at nighttime (too tempting to make noise all night). Oh, and that is his 'camera' smile. He uses it whenever he sees the lens pointed at him. So cheesy! Blowing out the candles on his Spiderman cake. Yes, all the other stuff is Thomas the Train. He likes what he likes. Jack wasn't about to let Emerson go home without a hug. It was a hug, not an attack. Promise!

Easter

Easter has come and gone, but finally I have some photos uploaded! We had a nice time and enjoyed spending time with Grandma and Grandpa C, Antie and Uncle John Tressell , and Uncle Robert, Aunt Natalie, and Emerson. Jack really enjoyed hunting for eggs (for a few days he asked us to hide them again so he could find them), but was a bit disappointed when they no longer had animal cracker in them. Anyway better late than never. I'll put all the photos on Flickr . :) Painting Eggs They actually sat still for three seconds! Family Photo - Easter 2011 Until next time...
