We haven't posted anything in the last couple months so I thought I'd make an entry. Sydney is doing well. Actually at present Sydney has an ear infection. She acted a little weird on Monday evening and then woke up screaming around 10pm. She was all out of sorts and not really acting awake. At some...

Whew! 3 Months without updates. In the last months, Rowan has grown by leaps and bounds. At present, he is wearing a mixture of 12 and 18 month clothes depending on brand. Some of the 18 month stuff fits better around the middle but is too long in the legs & sleeves. Rowan now has 4 teeth. The two f...

Last Friday when Meghan picked Sydney up, Sydney told her that they had to go to a different room to pick up all her stuff. As the discussion went on, Sydney explained that they had to climb out the window of her normal classroom earlier in the day. ...WAIT... BACK UP. WHAT? This story was corrobora...

Sydney: 43 inches and 39 pounds. 75th percentile for height and weight! • When the nurse came to call us from the waiting room, she ran and hid in the corner, crying that she didn’t want shots. I had to carry her in. • She was very well-behaved once we got into the exam room. • She had her blood pre...

Meghan sent me the following recap of Rowan's 6 month visit to the doctor. I'm saving it off here for the record. Rowan: 27 inches and 22 pounds. 66th percentile for height and 99th for weight! Apparently he is just about the biggest baby in the entire country. • He sat very happily in the stroller ...

We've got teeth! Rowan's two bottom teeth are now poking through. These have been bothering him for a long time so it's good that they are finally coming in. For the last 4 weeks or so he's been on solid food. He doesn't like green beans or peas but happily eats everything else we throw at him. ...a...

Sydney Loves her Tricycle. Prior to this week we hadn't been riding it much at all. In fact, she may have ridden it twice before this all summer. For some reason, she decided to pull it out on Sunday and rode back and forth in front of the house on the sidewalk. I asked her if she wanted to go aroun...

Yesterday we went with the Martins (Tammy, Bob, Carson, and Kinsie) to Pirate's Cover over in Elk Grove Villiage. It's a mini-theme park just for little kids. Although they had to wait in line, Sydney and Carson really enjoyed themselves. They went down a big rocket slide by themselves (not quite as...

Rowan is so huge. He has now doubled his birth weight. At present, he weighs in at a whopping 17lbs and is 23" tall. Like Sydney was, Rowan is a spitter so we're enjoying the multitude of wardrobe changes that come with holding him. This past weekend, Rowan has been gnawing on his hands more than he...

For awhile there, every time we looked at a picture that pre-dated Sydney, she would ask a series of questions: Was I a baby? Was I in Mommy's Tummy? Where was I? We always changed the subject on the "Where was I?" because how in the world do you explain that to a 3yr old (actually this topic was al...
