Logan - 4 months old!!

Well, "little" Logan is 4 months old!! He just had his check-up, and he weighs 20 lbs 10 oz and is 27" long!!! Wow. He is off the chart for weight and 97% tile for height. What a big guy!! =) But he is growing at a normal rate, he is "on his own growth curve" as his doctor put it ;) His check-up went well, his doctor said he looks great and is on track developmentally. He has been doing really well the past couple of months with his reflux and breathing and stuff. He has 2 upcoming appointments on September 15th. He has a follow up swallow study, hopefully he will have matured and won't need to thicken his formula anymore (*fingers crossed*). He also has an appointment with the cardiologist, just to follow up and check on his bicuspid aortic valve and things they found on his EKG when he was in the hospital. Hope that all goes well too =/

He is such a mover!! He can roll from front to back, and from back to front. And when he is on his tummy, he tries to scoot all over!! He loves to play in his excersaucer and with all his toys. We packed away his swing (it couldn't really handle swinging all his weight anymore!) and so now he likes to sit in his high chair when we are in the kitchen. He just loves to look around and see what is going on. He loves sitting up, so he loves the high chair.

We have tried eating cereal a couple times, but isn't too sure about it.... We will give it a couple more tries this week and get used to that, and then on to more yummy stuff like apples!!

Since he is almost 21 lbs, and his infant seat only goes to 22 lbs....it was time to get a new seat!! What a daunting task! You're picking out something that is made to save you child's life, and there are tons of seats out there to pick from!! After a lot of thought we decided to get Brody a new seat that can convert into a booster seat, and pass his seat to Logan. No more infant seat for the Logan ! =( I can not believe how fast they grow!

He has changed so much in the past month! He has gone from a little baby who just lays there, to a roly poly baby who loves to move and play! No more infant seat, bouncy seat (he kept flipping himself out of that because he was trying to sit up!), or swing..... we are on to excersausers, big car seats, and rolling around on the floor! Where does the time go....

Melody is 10!!!

Wow. I can't believe it.10. Sometimes 10 years ago feels like 1, sometimes it feels like 100.

Well, Melody and I have been through a lot in our 10 years together, but here we are happy and healthy =)

She is starting Middle School in a few weeks. I don't feel old enough to have a kid in middle school (well, I probably am not, but oh well!). She is really excited to go, and meet some new friends and reconnect with the ones she met last year. She gets to start band this year too, which she is really excited about. She really wanted to play the drums, but for some stupid reason, you have to have 2 years of piano lessons to play drums!! WTH!! Anyways, so she is thinking of playing either saxophone or flute. So we shall see what she decides.

She is growing like a weed! Scary. Not ready for her to be this old!!

Brody is 2!!

We celebrated Brody's 2nd Birthday on July 24th with a party at our house with family and friends. It was a blast! =)

He is getting SO big! He is staring to put together sentences, and learning new words faster then I can keep up with understanding them! He still LOVES books. We got him a Leap Frog Tag Jr. Reader for his birthday and he is learning how to use it. He can count to 10, and loves numbers. He will point them out everywhere! Walking through Walmart, he points out all the numbers on the price signs. He knows how to spell his name, and knows lots of letters. And is starting to learn colors and shapes.

He loves to play with Logan, or at least Logan's toys ;). He loves to give him hugs and kisses, and tries to share his snacks and drinks with him (have to watch him with that one!). He calls him "brother" =). He is staring to learn how to spell Logan too.

Love my Brody Man!!
