Just some every day pics

Zach lovin' on Rocky


Emerald building "Garmin" out of cups. She was so proud of herself. I was impressed, too.

Looking pretty cute.

We took Zachary to the doctor last week for his 4 month well-child check. He is up to 10 1/2 pounds now and looking good. We will go back in 3 weeks for a weight check/head check. He isn't on the charts yet for his weight or height, not even 0%, but is on the charts for his head circumference at 10-20%. Guess the kid has a big noggin! Dr. Mike said this is normal, especially for preemies, b/c their head is growing at the right rate but their weight just hasn't caught up yet. We are going in to make sure the head isn't growing too fast, though, b/c that could cause some concern. He is just being extra cautious and making sure we are on top of things.

The rolling over thing wasn't a fluke! Zach has continued rolling from his back to his belly. He even managed to roll over during his nap the other day, while swaddled!!! Don't ask me??!! When on his mat he spins round and round and continues to try to roll over.

This is Emerald's last week of school. I think she is going to be pretty sad when she doesn't get to go to school this summer. Poor little girl just loves school so much! That is this mommy/teacher's dream! I think Calvin will be happy, though, b/c he loves his "Gee".

Calvin is in the early stages of potty training. He tells us when he has to pee, although he still hasn't masted going yet on the potty. But, he wants to try, and we will let him. He has been quite the little stinker lately with the 2 year old attitude. Whew, if we live through this!! No is a favorite word of his, but only when said with full attitude! He can be so super sweet at other times, coming up and hugging you for now reason telling you he loves you.

My first class is graduating from high school. I can't believe it. I so wish I could be there to watch these kiddos/young adults walk across the stage. I remember each of them more than they will ever realize. I love being able to keep up with so many of them through Facebook. It has been nice knowing what they plan to do with their lives. I wish them all the very best as they begin this new chapter in their life!! My prayers will remain with you.

We've been spending a great deal of time outside lately. It was gorgeous here this weekend, in the mid 70's or so. The kids have loved having some fun time playing with neighborhood kids and with some friends we've made at school. It is fun watching them play together.
