this past month

- August 19, 2009

this past month has been a roller coaster...no questions asked. i thought i would update on the kiddos. Landon is doing great and is growing up so fast in more than just his height and weight. i wish i could write down everything he says, but i think that would require my writing a novel. my sister-in-law said it perfectly the other day, landon is so "matter of fact". most everything he says is said in that manner, which makes what he says all that more entertaining and hilarious. More and more people have been commenting on how much alexa looks like her brother, but i have yet to really see that. the interesting thing about that is, it's usually strangers that make that comparison. chris, mark and i think she has her own look and really doesn't look much like landon. next post, i will put up some pictures of landon at six months and alexa at six months. six months? is it possible that she is already six months? this is true. she had her doctor's appointment to check up on how things are going with her. let me refresh your memories at alexa's 8 week check-up. she was in the 15th percentile for both height and weight. at 6 months, miss alexa was much bigger and i think is catching up with her brother. she was 27.25 inches putting her in the 85 percentile for height. (only a fourth of an inch shorter than landon at this age) she was 15 pounds 13 ounces (three pounds lighter than landon at this age) putting her in teh 50 percentile for weight. at this point, it looks like she is going to be tall and thin. we shall see. she just started sitting up on her own about a week ago and is doing a fantastic job. i think that about wraps up the kids.

my beautiful roses from christopher for our anniversary.
