Update


I promised an update after I took the kids to their check ups so here it is! According to their doctor they both are fine and looking good. Angie weighed 29 lbs (45th percentile) and was 38 and 1/4 inches tall (75th percentile). Caleb weighed 21 lbs, 13 oz (25th percentile) and was 31 inches tall (75th percentile). So both kids have above average height and below average weight. Caleb was of course perfect while they weighed him and the doctor looked him over. Angie did not like being weighed (I have no idea why) but she was great while the doctor looked her over. They both had to get shots so I enlisted Nick to go with me. I knew there was no way I could comfort them both at the same time.

The picture above is from Angie's actual birthday. As you can see, Caleb isn't always fond of getting hugs from his sister. Sometimes he loves them, but sometimes he just grins and bears it!

Its Been Awhile...


So, I realized when I went to type this that it has been nearly 3 months since my last post. Oops! I am really bad at finding/making the time to do these kinds of things. A lot has been going on. Caleb is now walking. He is doing really well with it. At first he was only willing to walk when we stood him up and made him do it. Now, he will walk wherever he wants and if he falls, he gets right back up and keeps on going. He is babbling a lot more now too. His two favorite words are "Angie" and "Daddy". He still only says "Mama" if he is sad or really wants something (little stinker). He tries to mimick everything that he sees Angie doing. Its really quite adorable.

Speaking of Angie...she is also doing really well. I think putting her in preschool was the best decision we ever made for her. She has really blossomed and seems to be learning all the time. We have even taught her to count to 6 in Spanish! Potty training is still going on. I was hoping we would be there by now but that just isn't the case. She has good days and bad days. Her problem is that she ignores the "urge to go" until its too late, she prefers to play. Her underwear usually only gets a little wet but still, we want to her to be able to make it to the potty on time, every time. I can't believe she will be 3 tomorrow. Where has the time gone? In some ways it seems like just yesterday that we brought her home from the hospital. But in other ways, it seems like she should be turning 6 instead of 3.

Well, good night all. I am taking the kids to their check ups next week so I'll post again with all their new stats!

Happy Spring!
