Check-Up

Emma had her four year well check today.  Her stats:

33 pounds, 30th percentile

39.75 inches tall  55th percentile

Riley had his four month well check also.  His stats:

12 pounds and 12.5 ounces, 10th percentile

26.5 inches tall, 90th percentile

I just have skinny kids!!  I always want so badly to have a chubby kid, but I guess it's just not going to happen!!  Riley can start having rice cereal now.  We will see how that goes.  He has only had breast milk, and pretty much just straight from the source too!  :)  I hope he likes it!! 

FoUr!!

Emma is four years old today!  I can't believe that I have a four year old!  Time is flying by.  Emma loves Scooby-Doo and Tangled.  She is really good at puzzles.  She loves to learn and tries to help teach her brothers.  She loves preschool and she can't wait to go back in the fall.  She loves when people give her money or "cash" as she calls it.  : )  She is my big helper.  She loves her brothers, but she tells me often that she would really like a sister.  We will have to see about that one. 

Today we made her pancakes for breakfast.  Special ones with candles for her to blow out.  She picked Red Robin for lunch.  And then we went to Toy R Us where she picked out a toy to buy with her birthday money.  She, of course, picked a Scooby-Doo toy.  I sure love my Emma girl.  Happy Birthday!!

Scooby-Doo Party!

Emma's birthday party was on Saturday.  She chose Scooby-Doo for the theme and Peter Piper Pizza.  She got lots of gifts.  And had lots of fun playing with family.  Shaun and I gave her the gifts from us before the party.  She has been so excited for the last month!  Everyday she would ask if it was her birthday yet.  We got her cake from Baker Wee.  She picked out the picture that she wanted on it.  And we made her and Riley shirts with the same picture on them. 

Emma got tap shoes from Grandma Charlotte and she had to try them out ASAP.  : )  I think we need to get her into some sort of dance class.  She had some natural talent! 

 

Oh, How I Love Him!!

Fun facts about Riley.
He is getting so big!  He rolls over like a champ and is sitting very well in the Bumbo.  He is such a happy boy and is a very good sleeper.  He does at least 12 hour stretches at night.  He is such an easy baby!  Oh, how I love him!  He giggles like crazy!  He is very ticklish and is a bit of a daredevil.  He has very crazy hair.  He makes a funny face, where he sucks his bottom lip in.   He is doing it in a few of the pictures.   He HATES the carseat.  He loves to chew on anything he can get his hands on.  He drools like CRAZY!! 
Next week is his four month check-up.  I can finally see how big he is getting. 

Emma's First Date

It's no secret that our kids love going to Encanto Park.  We went a couple weeks ago with our friend's the Waters'.  They have two adorable sons.  Emma and Spencer love to play with them.  Emma rode on everything with their oldest son Chase.  They were so cute, like a little couple on a date.  :)

Sleep

I sure love my kids, but there are days when I cannot wait until 7:00 pm.  This, of course, is bed-time.  Oh, sweet bed-time. 

They are so peaceful when they are sleeping!  Riley has become an even better sleeper.  He puts himself to sleep.  I nurse him and then lay him down at seven.  He sleeps until at least 6:30 am.  And then I pick him up, nurse him and he falls back to sleep until I am ready to wake up.  What a good boy!!  :)

Just Cute

The kids all look so cute in their Sunday best.  I had to take a couple of pictures.  They did not all cooperate very well, but here they are.  (The first three were edited by my friend Brittany)

The only kid who would actually smile and stay still, of course, was Emma.  Spencer kept un-tucking his shirt and frowning at us.  And Riley wouldn't look at the camera.  Either way, I think they look adorable!  :)
