Catch up--a little of this and a little of that.

As usual, I'm way behind on posting anything. In an effort to catch up a little, I'm posting several unrelated events and pictures in one very long post:) We are going home to AZ in 2 days, and we are so excited to see family and enjoy some nice weather.




Jacob just had his 6-month well child check. He's a big boy coming in at
weight: 17 lbs 15 oz 90%ile
height: 27.4 inches 90%ile
head: 45 cm 97%ile
He's sitting up all by himself now. He has cute little dimples. No teeth yet. He loves to jump in his bouncer. He is a smiley little guy and loves to laugh at is big brother and sister. Still not sleeping through the night. He gets very upset when he wants his bottle. There's no in between for this guy, he's either happy or screaming his head off. We started solids and he's taking to them like a champ.





Here are some pictures of the kids, and no, they are not tap dancing, they are actually practicing their Kung Fu moves as inspired by the movie Kung Fu Panda. Notice Kaytlin's outfit. She has 4 swimsuits on. She loves them and carries them around, and when she wants to wear them, she wants to wear all of them. Notice her sweet bed head.





Kaytlin in one of her many outfits, dang cute! She loves her white sunday shoes and insists on wearing them everyday!



We noticed Braden's right eye crossing in November and took him to the optometrist and discovered he is far-sighted. He just got these glasses a few weeks ago--he picked out Spider-Man of course. He is very good about wearing them and takes it very seriously. Hopefully, this will correct the eye turning in. He looks very handsome.








Bill had Monday off and it was actually decent weather so we took our bikes down to the river and rode them to a little pond for the kids to try fishing. Braden has been practicing his casting since he got his new rod for Christmas. We didn't have any luck and I wrecked on my bike again. Nothing says skill and athleticism as much as falling off your bike at a complete stop. I can't seem to get my foot out of the clip-ons very well yet. There were several people (mostly 10 year-old boys) there to witness the graceful event, and I was embarrassed. The weather is back down into the negatives, so I think I will have time to recover my pride and practice clipping out before my next outing:)
