Typical week night on Emmett Parkway

Austin Turns 3!!!

Great day yesterday celebrating Austin's 3rd birthday. We rode the Cedar Rock Railroad, beat up a pinata and of course ate cupcakes.

Here is a picture of Violet showing Nana how to blow bubbles

Everyone waiting their turn for a cupcake
Violet was in awe of all the candy and showed amazing restraint. She picked two packages of Smarties and was so happy

Happy Birthday Austin!

Conversations with Violet

Jeff: "Are you finished?"

Violet: "I ate a good lunch."

Jeff: "Are you finished?"

Violet: "I don't need anything else. Well, maybe strawberries."

Violet: drinking her milk, "I was thirsty. I'm going to finish my milk too."

Vivian - 6 Month Update

A little late, but here are Vivian's stats from her 6 month well check.

Weight: 15# 7oz (45%)

Height: 25" (25%)

Head: 43cm (55%)

She's following the same growth curve as her 4 month visit and she has a very healthy appetite. Vivian has never pushed a bottle away - she always finishes it - and seems to have room for more. We've started vegetables; so far carrots, sweet potato, peas, and green beans.

She sits up very well and grabs at everything around her. But the most fun is watching her and Violet's relationship develop. Violet is very sweet with her and likes to bring her toys and try to make her laugh. When Violet is around, Vivian doesn't take her eyes off her sister.
