Growing Up

Both Ellie & Adelaide had doctor check ups recently, and they are both healthy and developing right where they should be.

Ellie weighs 34.5 lbs (79th percentile), and she is 3 ft 3 in tall (87th percentile)
     Right now Ellie LOVES animals; her favorite thing to play is making up stories with either her small plastic animals or stuffed animals. She continues to be our little song bird and her hunger never seems satiated. *also, most of the time her animals are going to the pool or having a picnic, but she told me the other day that Mr. Potato Head was going to kill all the baby animals and that he was very bad. Where does she pick this stuff up...??

Adelaide weighs 12 lbs 14 oz (48th percentile) and is almost 2 ft tall (32nd percentile)
     She is constantly drooling over her fingers and whole fists if she can get them in her mouth. We've started a little bit of sleep training which is going well, so far she isn't napping in the swing or being bounced to sleep anymore. She likes to watch your mouth move as you sing and thinks it's pretty funny looking. Adelaide also has so. much. gas. Oh my goodness child; seriously... it's disrupting our primary class.

Lovin' these kiddos to death even though they keep us on our toes!

Brett is currently studying for step 2 which stinks, but it does mean one step closer to getting a job so that's a happy thought. He's also preparing to apply for a Psychiatry residency soon (probably a program with child & adolescent fellowship attached).

My parents just came home from their mission and they drove out to Temple to meet Adelaide for the first time and play with Ellie. I guess they talked to us too... ;) While they were here we had some good times at Cameron Park Zoo and Lion's Junction Water Park. I think Ellie's favorite part was feeding the giraffe.
