Rain Day Fun

Last week, we had a storm front and a tropical storm. Needless to say we had a lot of rain. On one of those days we painted wooden cars.

 Brennan was covered in paint.

 Liam was having a blast.

 Look at him go.

Weekly Update

 Summer means strawberry shortcake and Jager likes sugar

 Cheese, well kinda

 We went kayaking this weekend since it finally wasn't raining. Liam wanted to make silly faces when I took out the camera.

 One of our friends on the trip. We also saw manatees.

We also released our tadpoles into the pond.

Weekly Update

 Liam loves climbing trees. He'll do it all day if you let him.

 Some body tell that boy we're eating pudding, not finger painting.

Liam wrote his own name and was very excited about it (we gave him a piece of candy to celebrate). He asked if we would take his picture too.

Tadpoles

 So this year, instead of catching tadpoles everyday I thought I'd pull out our fish tank out of the garage and we could watch them grow instead. Boy were the boys excited.

Now today when we didn't catch tadpoles....well Brennan didn't like that.

Mothers Day

 My Mom loves to see pictures of the boys. In fact, she probably checks the blog everyday. So this year for Mothers Day, I thought I would make a point to put up new pictures. Love you Mom! Thanks for always being there.

Here is Liam on his special birthday dinner, hence the four fingers at Gaint City Lodge, or if your Liam the Castle Restaurant.

 Liam asked me to take this photo. He said it was a good picture idea. Boy was he right.

4yr Checkup

Yesterday was Liam's four year check up.  He's now 42.5 inches tall and weighs 37.5 lbs. Basically a tall lean boy.  As for some of the milestones, he may need a little work. For example drawing people with bodies, maybe if I could get him to sit still long enough to color he could draw people. As well as the cut and paste, who knows whether he could our not. However, the riding the bike, throwing and catching a ball, full sentences, and other adults understanding him he's got down.  We also went over his quirks from last time, which some he seems to be out growing, yeah good news. We did go over his weird foot thing he has when he gets tired, or at least that's what I think it is. Liam pronates for one, but to be sure that he's not flat footed or something else going on he'll be seeing another doctor next week.

Then there were the shots. Poor Liam has no fat in his leg for the MMR so they gave him an ice pack to help numb it a little before his shot. Boy did he scream. Nurse Susie was wonder and gave him an army man (6in tall) for him and Brennan for being so good, as well as an Angry Bird bandaid.  Afterwards I took him to Chick-fila for breakfast and to play on the playground.

18mth Checkup

Today I took Brennan to his 18mth appt. Yes, yes, I know his is now 19mths, but we had to take care of some insurance paperwork first before we could schedule it. Brennan is now 24lbs 7oz which is 25%, 34" long at 95% and again his head was 25%. I'm pretty sure they measured his height wrong because there is no way he only grew 1/2". He really didn't like being pinned down though, since last time we were there they put eye drops in, and that was only a couple of weeks ago.  She asked if he could say 8 words and he proceed to say these words though out the appt: fishy, moon, star, eye, baby, seat, mouth, up, ear, water, tea, thank you. She laughed and said yeah, he definitely has the 8 down. And he is also able to follow simple instructions, feeds himself, and can use a spoon. Yup, all milestones covered. Brennan also needed two shots  today. After receiving them, he told the nurse thank you. I'm sure it was a "thank you, I'm all done" and a "no more please", kind of a thank you. But it still made me and the nurse laugh. Next appt is his 2yr, wow how time has flown.
