Ordinary, Everyday Happenings

We haven't done anything terribly exciting this week and my camera has been drowsy (battery needs charged). But here are some pictures from the last month and an update for the family journal.

Both the kids had well child exams last week. Typical results:

Miss Brooke
Height: 25.75 in/95%
Weight: 14 lbs 10 oz/75%

Sir Ty
Height: 36.5 in/95%
Weight: 33lbs 6 oz/95%
We plugged his stats into a height predictor to see how tall he'll be as an adult.
It estimated that he'll be 6'2". Check back in 20 years to see how accurate it is.

Doesn't her face look like she's concocting an evil plan?

Miss B's personality has arrived. In the last week she found her voice and uses it at every possible opportunity. Just today she gave a lovely oration to the cute newlyweds sitting in the row behind us at church. Another social butterfly in the family. She giggles frequently, continues to be amused by her brother, and is FINALLY eating and pooping regularly. Now if we can just get her to sleep...
She loves this alligator. Despite all the cute clothes stuffed in her expansive wardrobe, I think she's cutest naked. Wouldn't you agree? If only this physique was still cute at my age.

Ty received nearly every CARS character for his birthday. We're only missing Sally, Big Red and a few other minor characters. I can hardly get him to play with anything else these days.

The Sheriff and Mater are his favorites.

Ty has not had any earth-shattering improvement in speech since his tubes, but it is obvious he can hear better. He's such an energetic kid and keeps me on my toes! Thankfully he has adjusted to nursery at church and no one has brought him to us in over a month.

Here are some pictures from St. Patty's day:

Cute.

Cute.

Green, but not as cute as I hoped for. But they were yummy.

In other family news, Trent's patient load has slowly started to increase. He's still got room for more, but we're grateful that he's been staying busy. On the flip side of that, he often needs to stay late to finish paperwork and is super courteous to his patients by returning calls and completing labs in a timely manner. His fantastic work ethic means we don't see him as much as we would like to during the week. But isn't that how life goes? Now we really look forward to the weekends when we get him all to ourselves.

As for me, some days I feel like I'm barely hanging on to my sanity. Lack of sleep will do that to you. I've been a bit of a recluse, but Brooke is on the verge of sleeping through the night and now that we seem to have overcome our two month run of colds, ear infections and viruses, perhaps I'll get a little rest. Perhaps. That being said, I sure love being home with my munchkins!
