Big boy!!!

Aaron had his 2 month check up today, and he tipped the scales (in terms of OUR babies!) at 12 lb 14 ounces (50th percentile), and 24 inches (75th percentile). Poor little guy had to get 3 shots...and was NOT a happy kid afterwards

....so mommy had a frosty to make it all better :)

Other than getting poked, Aaron is doing great, and is giving his tired mom a whopping SIX hours of sleep at night, WOO HOO!!!! It's so funny with the third child, the first night he slept for 6 hours, I didn't even flinch. If it had been Emily...or even Addison at that age, I probably would have been in their room with a mirror under their noses to see if they were still alive.

...ok, so maybe I DID do that once...or twice.

But enough about my OCD issues, the kids are great. What an amazing and blessed summer we have had! Emily and Addison still LOVE little brother and are not ready to give him away yet. We spent a week at Rock a bye Nana's house (my mom) while Brian went out of town to Boston, returned last Saturday, and the girls started their new preschool this week!

Emily barely gave me a wave goodbye on the first day...Addison, on the other hand, had a bit more to say about it. I got to be one of those parents whose kid screamed so loud that you would have thought she was being drawn and quartered instead of just going to preschool!

Check out some of the recent highlights!

We've been busy, obviously, this summer.

So cool. OObleck is great stuff, isn't it. You're a far better mom than I - I didn't let my kids play with this stuff until a few years ago when they were all past 10!
