Special day for Jake

Sunday September 30th was a special day for our cousin Jake, he was dedicated at church! Afterwards we all went over to Aunt Megan and Uncle Dave's house for lunch.

Here we are with our cousins that were there.
Clara, Jake, Logan, Nora, Brianna, Tori and Nick

Weight/Height Check!

We went to the doctor on Saturday for a weight and height check since the kids are so dang skinny!  Here's the stats:

Clara
37" tall (75th %)
25 lbs (10th %)

Nora
36 1/2" tall (50-75th %)
26 3/4 lbs (25th %)

Logan
36" tall (50th %)
26 lbs (10th %)

So, we aren't doing too bad on height but we got to get some meat on Clara and Logan!  Doctor says they look great though and they are developing wonderfully.  He couldn't believe how far we'd come from being little 2-4 pounders in the NICU to how grown up they seem today!  I agree!

Bad news is that they are all sick, and have been for about a month.  After the first round of antibiotics it did not seem to have gone away so we took them back to the doctor.  They were put on a stronger (and much more expensive) antibiotic for 10 days but by the time we went in for our check-up on Saturday they hadn't gotten rid of it and/or had caught something else.  Lovely!  So, we are now doing another round of amoxicillan.  I'm putting a lot more into our flexible spending account next year!

I think we have some dancers

Pucker up ladies!

There's my boy isn't he cute? He was posing for some pics earlier for me. Those ladies better watch out when he gets older.

Me and Clara

I was trying to figure out my new phone last night.

I'm back... I hope!

I just realized how long it's been since I blogged and I can't believe it!  I really want something for my kids to be able to go back and read so they know everything that I am sure I will forget to tell them!  So, I'm going to set a reminder for myself to blog at least once a week!

The kids have changed SO much in the last 6 months.  It's amazing how smart they are now and how many things they can do now.  I love it, but they are growing up too fast!

My latest issue is their beds.  They are starting to figure out how to climb on them.  No one is officially climbing out of their cribs yet, but they are doing just enough that they could fall and get hurt.  I know it's only a matter of time before one of them figures out how to get out all the time on their own.  So I'm sure toddler beds are in the near future for us.  Lord help us at bed time when this day comes.  They are getting harder and harder to put down for bed these days.  Nora is by far the best one when it comes to bed time.  Probably because she refuses to take a nap every day and she's exhausted.  Clara is ok, but she doesn't go willingly most of the time.  And Logan, well, let's just say he ends up in our bed 6 out of 7 days in the week and it's about an hour before we can get him to sleep.
