A Smile from Liam

1st Day of MDO

Liam's 1st Boat Ride

Sunday after church it was a bit cooler (high 80s-low 90s) so we decided it was the perfect time for Liam's first boat ride. We cruised around the lake and ate lunch on the boat! Little Liam even got to experience his sister's driving!

Our Little Athletes

Yesterday Anderson and Callie had their first gymnastics class.  They warmed up very nicely!  Their events included bar (hanging on it), floor (forward rolls, handstands) and vault (trampoline-the favorite).  The class is very hands on and active-I think we're going to have a lot of fun!  While we were at gymnastics Liam stayed with our friends the Lopez'-his first time staying with a non-blood relative but they are part of our AF family so all was good!  Liam is not going to gymnastics but he is working on his floor routine-laying on his back, side and tummy and grabbing for things!

Callie and Anderson's 2nd Birthday

Today David didn't have to go into to work/fly until after lunch.  So we were able to wake the kids up by singing to them.  We then had a birthday breakfast complete with candles in the pancakes!  We then headed out on our morning walk and returned home to open presents!  One of the special gifts we gave the kids was the cradle that my Grandpa and Uncle Mark made for me.  Anderson and Callie knew to put their babies night-night there-notice Anderson is telling his baby "shhh."  We took pictures on the shirt and couch as has been our habit-I thought this time would be easier than 18 months, haha wishful thinking.  So we got what we got!  After birthday lunch we had cupcakes, look how proper Callie is with her fork!  Dad headed into work and we spent the rest of the day playing with all the great new toys!  Happy Birthday Anderson and Callie!  We love you so much!

2 Year and 2 Month Stats

Today we hauled all three kids in for well-baby visits!  Yes, we had three nurses with us!  One for each kiddo!  I told the doctor that she didn't need any more patients today because we filled her quota!  All kids had great reports and there is nothing to be concerned about.  Shots were had by all-poor Liam had his first experience with a needle!

Anderson:
Weight: 27 lbs 6 oz = 42%
Height: 34.9 inches = 65%
Head: 50.5 cm = 90%

Callie:
Weight: 21 lbs 8 oz = 0%
Height: 31.9 inches = 0%
Head: 48.7 cm = 80%
*When the doctor saw Callie's %s she said she'd have to double check them because that didn't seem right.  We told her that it probably was because our sweet pea has never been above 5%!

Liam:
Weight: 14 lbs 3 oz = 93%
Height: 24.3 inches = 90%
Head: 42 cm = 91%

Mickey and Minnie

Anderson and Callie had their 2 year birthday party on Saturday-complete with a Mickey and Minnie theme, sloppy joes, sno-cones, cupcakes (Callie didn't eat hers but have no fear Anderson took care of it!), a bounce house and of course good friends!
