Growing Up!

I took Evan and Amelia to the doctor 2 weeks ago (time is getting away from me on this blog).  Evan was there for his 6 year checkup, and Amelia is 4 months old (can you believe it?!?!).

We’ll start with Evan:

Height: 44 inches- 39th percentile
Weight: 41 lbs.- 21st percentile
Favorite Food: Pizza, Quesadillas
Favorite Color: Yellow
Favorite Toys: Legos, Hot Wheels, Monster trucks
Bad Habits: Evan likes to say, “What the Heck!”  whenever he is mad these days.  I have no idea where he learned it, but I’m determined to make it stop.
Good Habits: Evan tells great jokes and loves to come up with clever puns (he takes after Glenn).  He also loves the jokes that Derek tells and often will come and tell me the joke just minutes after I heard it first from Derek.  Evan is really good about practicing the piano without complaint (and actually does it without me asking/reminding him).  He is also great at taking care of Amelia.  He really hates to be tickled, just like me.  He is turning out to be a brilliant little boy and is doing really well in school.  I love this boy!

AMELIA
Height: 24.2 inches- 40th percentile
Weight: 11 lbs, 7 oz.- 5th percentile
Head Circumference: 16.1 inches- 60th percentile
Favorite Food: Milk
Favorite Activities: Amelia is a super smiley baby and is starting to laugh (I am mostly able to get her to laugh when I kiss her neck).  During the past couple of weeks she is suddenly very unhappy when we leave her laying on the floor.  She wants to be up and part of the party!  She has also just recently started gurgling and blowing bubbles and saying “aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh.”  I think she’s beautiful, and I am loving having a daughter a lot more than I thought I would!

Here is some proof that she’s growing (and her skin is getting lighter, apparently).  The first picture was taken on her first night home, the second was last week.  She takes up quite a bit more of that little crib!  It is shocking how fast the time has gone!

It is fun to watch our kids growing up!
