Status up-date

yep, I got everything done that I had planned:

from left to right, 5 burp cloths, 7 quarts of peaches, the rest of the peaches that I'm saving for Sarah, 2 mini wipes/ teethers, 2 pair of undies for Aiden, a bag for Aiden and under it all a changing pad that I am going to have ahard time giving away!

I also made a plum tart with toasted walnut crust...no pic as it's long gone, read about 300 pages in my book (nursing time is good for more than just blog posting), went for a walk at the ranch AND hung out in the yard with the fam eating raspberries (why do I still have raspberries? I don't know but YUM!)

What a good weekend (and it's only 3:30 on Sunday)...now about this messy house

4 month and 3 year check ups!

So the kids had their check ups this week. They both look great

Aiden's stats:

Height: 38.75 inches
Percentile: 80%

Weight: 33 pounds
Percentile: 75%

Specifics: We found a cavity on one of his back 2 year molars, so we went to the Dentist on Thursday and the doc told us based on the condition of his other teeth he thinks the molar was deformed during development and didn't have enamel on it or it was really thin enamel since he's only had that tooth for about 8 months. So in January we are going to get it filled. That should be fun! Other then that he looked great was on track developmentally and wont have to go back until he's 5! Wow how time flies.

Natalie's stats:

Height: 26.5 inches
Percentile: 95%

Weight: 14 pounds 5.3 ounces
Percentile: 50%

Specifics: Natalie is at a 7 month level with her motor development and the doc thinks she'll be crawling soon (oh please no!). She has started teething and the tooth buds are visible so it shouldn't be too long before they break though the gums. For now we are giving her teething tablets and I have started making her an amber necklace. She is just starting to sign for nursing/eating and is able to sit up on her own for a bit before she goes forward or rolls to the side. My baby girl is growing up so fast!!

Enchanted Forest

On Labor Day we met my mom in Salem and took the kids to Enchanted Forest (because you know Natalie really wanted to go,Right?). We had a great time Aiden LOVED the bumper boats and was really bummed out that he was an inch too short to ride the log ride. Next year we told him. Having never been there it was fun for all of us, we brought a picnic and ate it in a castle. Aiden liked the random slides and little houses. It wasn't too crowded and I will take the kids back again for sure! We hope you all had a great Labor day too!
