Five years and 2 Months

Both kiddos have been to the doctor in the last two weeks for their check ups. Weights, heights, and shots for both=funtimes for mommy NOT!!

Emma now weighs: 27.5 lbs and is 35 and 3/4 inches tall. Her BP was great and she had no issues. She hated her shots but other than that had a great check up. She is still not on the normal growth chart but she has continued to increase on her own chart which is great. He was very pleased with her progress. Other facts about you as you turn five: your best friend is Lily at school, you still love fries and chicken, but have started to eat other things lately. Your new favorites are corn on the cob, pancakes, bacon and eggs. Your favorite things at school are music class and art class. You would live outside if we let you and love to make daddy run to all three parks in our area on the weekends. Your speech is slowly improving and you recently got an Ipod Touch to try to help you communicate with people. It is a lot of fun and we are enjoying teaching you to use it. You really like computers and things like that so it is really fun seeing you play games on the computer. Such a big girl now it makes me smile. You were walking/running everywhere you could before you broke your leg, and you are slowly starting to be able to move more in your cast, but not as fast:) We are so proud of you learning to walk that I still tear up seeing you walk.

Taylor I can not believe you are already 2 months old! Where has the time gone? I wish I could freeze you and keep you little forever. However you already weigh 13.3 lbs and are 23.5 inches tall. Big BOY!! You are wearing 3 months to 3-6 months in clothing. (it is a full time job keeping up with what size you fit in). You sleep the best on the move, maybe because we are normally going to get sister when it is naptime. You sleep great at night and only wake once around 4:45 to eat. You only fuss if you are hungry, which is a lot of the time:) You smile so cute now and are starting to laugh a little and coo and I love to hear those first cute sounds. I could stare at you all day long:) I can not believe how fast you are changing and growing.

You two get along great! Emma will not leave you alone and I am sorry if she is loud sometimes, she just loves you to pieces. It is fun and hard taking care of you both but I love it and am blessed to be your mom!! Life is never boring and I am so glad. thank you God for my lovely family.
