Owen is 9 months


Owen stats at 9 months:
29" (77%)
17 lb 7oz (8%)
Head 45 cm (43%)

I always find the percentages funny because when you look at Owen I don't think he looks like a skinny baby and the doctor is not concerned with his weight.  He is following his own curve just like Kendall did.  He continues to battle an ear infection he is on a stronger medicine to hopefully kick it.  I hope this one goes away so we can sleep though the night!  Thankfully he is a pretty good little guy during the day.  He loves trying new food; his new favorite is cheese and cheerios. 
He crawls EVERYWHERE and is into EVERYTHING!  We have a basket in the living room with toys and he is always digging in it.
He loves to play with whatever Kendall has!



Kendall is 3!

Kendall had her 3 year check up and her stats are:
37.9" (64%)
28 lb 9 oz (27%)

She was really good for the nurse and doctor are her check up I think partly because we have been there so much for Owen she feels comfortable there (and gets a sticker just for being the big sister at Owen's appointments).  She had her blood pressure taken and different development qusetions that she answered all on her own...so big girl! 

Kendall loves disney princesses so we had a princess tea party for her.  I decided to make a princess castle cake for her party.  So much easier than last years Dora cake!  I don't do well with piping a cake but the beauty of a three year old is she did not notice the imperfections.  She ate an ice cream cone tower (her favorite thing is plain ice cream cones, frosting and sprinkles so this was right up her alley). 






Kendall got clothes, barbies, barbie car, barbie bedroom set and a bike with training wheels.

Justin was in charge of pictures...





We had a variety of tea sandwiches, salads, mini banana bread, cheddar biscuits, fruit cups, strawberry ladybugs.




I have some of my great grandma's tea cups and I decided that she would want them to be used rather than sit in a box so we had lemonade floats and fairy berry tea.



So maybe blogging is not my thing...

Okay so maybe I am not a very good blogger but I am worse at writing things down for the kids to look at later in life.  I have not kept up their baby books but thanks to our old website, blogs and facebook I have most milestones documented somewhere.  I have been copying and pasting to my computer so I have them saved.  Owen has been battling ear infection after ear infection so sleep is not really his thing.  If their naps do line up I want to get a few things done around the house and don't have time to be on the computer blogging.  I hope one day to keep the blog up so family and friends that are far away can see what is going on in with our family.
