8 years young…

Our sweet little Bug turns 8 today. Eight! Can you believe it? He’s such a good boy. He loves to cuddle on our laps… sleep in our bed (under the covers)… and kiss his sister! Too sweet.

Happy Birthday, Big Guy!

18 Month Stats!

Finally, Mom has gotten around to posting my 18 months stats. Only two weeks late, but I guess I’m keeping her pretty busy.  Turns out I’m sort of tall. Huh, go figure….

Height: 33 1/2 inches tall (90th percentile)

Weight” 25 lbs 7 oz (50th percentile)

Head: 18 3/8 inches (50th percentile)

We have a big weekend planned. We’re going to visit an orchard, make a trip to Ikea, and meet my friend Jen at the Farmer’s Market. Good thing it’s going to be warm!

15 Month Stats

Wow! I’m 15 months old already! I can’t believe it. Neither can my parents. I celebrated by visiting with Dr. Miller again, and he told me (again) that I’m a beautifully healthy toddler. (Not a baby anymore!) We had a great visit, and I even showed him where my Belly and Toes are. (he pretended he didn’t know).

But enough about the visit, here are the stats: I weigh 23 lbs, 4 oz, I’m 31 1/8 inches tall and my head is 18 1/8 inches around. They’re all between the 50-75th percentiles.  I’m (still) perfectly proportioned.

Another Birthday Party!

A group of us babies from our parent’s birthing class got together this weekend to celebrate all of our birthdays! We were all born between March 13 and April 27. And I’m the only girl! In this photo there’s Liam, Miles, Hans, Me, Jack and Benjamin. I’ve known all these guys since before I was born. Isn’t that cool?

We played inside for a while, tossing around beach balls and playing with this giant tube.

Then we all had cupcakes. CUPCAKES!. Yum.

My One-Year Stats

Here I am at the Pediatrician’s office, or actually, in the waiting room at the fish tank. I have to apologize to the little white fish that I scared when I hit the glass. Sorry! Didn’t know I’d hit it that hard. I’m still learning these things, you know.

Anyway – I got weighed and measured. I am now 30 1/4 inches tall (that’s around the 90% for height), and I weigh 21 lbs, 14 oz (about 60% for weight). Go figure, eh?

I have to wait for my shots since I have an ear infection, but that’s okay. It just means I get to visit the fish again next week!

Stay tuned for a full report of my birthday party. I had a blast and made a mess. Cool!

One-Year Old!

It’s my first birthday today! I vaguely recall the day I met Mom and Dad. I know I was cold and scared, but the scooped me up real guick like and hugged me tight. I think I slept a lot those first few days. And then I met my brother, Bug. He sure is a sweet brother, always looking out for me and trying to clean my face. I’ve had a lot of fun this past year, learning to sit up and crawl and eat and laugh. I’ve still only got two teeth and a little bit of hair, but I’m really close to walking and talking. I love to laugh and swim and crawl and walk from object to object. I love riding in my pink car and my backpack and napping on Dad. I hear there’s a big party for me this weekend with all my friends and cousins and grandparents. I can’t wait. I know just what I’m going to wear!

Birthday Week!

I’m going to turn one-year old this week, so to kick it off our friends Jill and Lisa came over to start the celebrations. Mom tried to take a picture of me sitting between them, but I’m just too fast! This is the shot she got. Jill and Lisa brought me a super fun summer party dress with matching tights! I can’t wait to wear it, so if here about a happening party let me know. I have the perfect dress!
