Milestones

My kids are growing up fast; Wesley is 6 months old as of today, and Adalynn is turning 4 on Sunday.  It's crazy how quickly time flies when you have children.  My son shouldn't be half a year old already!  He had his 6 month wellness check-up today and here are his stats..... 18 pounds 5 ounces, 26.25 inches long.  This puts him in the 65-70th percentile for weight and the 50th percentile for height.  He's been very consistent with his growth, and everything checked out just fine with the doctor.  So far he's been less irritable after his shots than normal, and I hope it stays that way.  (He usually is extra fussy for a few days after the immunizations).  Wes still has just the two bottom teeth, but the doctor says she can see where a bunch more are on the way.  Great, so that means the drooling won't be letting up anytime soon. 

Adalynn is excited about her birthday, but not for the same reason most kids are (party and/or presents).  In fact, if you ask her what she wants for her birthday, she'll tell you cupcakes, flowers, and balloons.  She's been harassing me on a weekly basis on every trip to the grocery store to get her the colorful bouquets you find in the check-out aisle for her birthday.  Today I explained that I wanted to know what presents she wanted for her birthday..... to which she replied "underwear".  Boy she's easy to please.  Well, considering we're broke right now I'm quite relieved that I have a child that doesn't want every toy in sight.  I'm sure that will happen soon enough, but for now I'm thankful for her simple demands.  If you ask her how old she'll be on her birthday, she always responds with "Four... and when I'm five I can go to kindergarten!"    

I'm out of room on my camera card so I don't have very many new pictures.  But these two of Wes and his wacky expressions cracked me up....

I wouldn't advise sticking your finger in a light socket....

Whatcha lookin' at??
