Okay all.....I have been very bad lately about blogging and facebooking. The truth of the matter is I am so busy with two kids and work and house....that I usually fall asleep while putting Madi to bed. I have little juice at the end of the day or during the day for that fact to do this stuff. But this morning at 4 am i woke up to feed Grant and my brain turned on and I couldn't go back to bed. So I get about 3 hours of uninterrupted "me" time. What have wee been up to....
1) Summer was really nice and the heat and sun helped Madi grow to a whopping 3 year old. I don't have to excat numbers with me....but she is in the 95% for her height.. She is a tall girl and people think she is a 4 year old
2) Madi started Preschool (pictures to come). She LOVES it. She goes to a school in a local church. And they are great. She is more advanced that the other kids in her language skills and ABC's and counting....but really she is there for the socialization. And we are loving the 2 1/2 hours a day of one on one time with our little man Grant
3) Grant just had his 6 month appt. He is 18 lbs (60% percentile) and 28" (83 % percentile). So he too is a tall kid. He is so amazingly strong. He can pull himself up on to things, almost go the crawling thing down and can sit up like nobodies business. He ADORES his sister. Grant smiles so big when she is around. He is a quite kid though. It takes a lot to get him to chuckle out loud. I think he is an internal person like Mommy.
4) Madi's peanuts. The Dr's wanted to test Madi for peanuts allergy again when she was 3. So, we went to Spokane Allergy and Asthma and had the skin scratch test. Madilyn freaked out an screamed - of coarse. The scratched the legs, then we pull her pants back up and played for 15 minutes. Then they come back to check. We checked her leg and the Dr. says "yep. Normally we wold follow up with a blood test, but give the significant size of her reaction to the scratch there is no need". She is SIGNIFICANTLY allergic to peanuts and we now have to carry an Epi-pen with us and are getting her a medic alert bracelet.
5)Camping. We went camping on the Oregon Coast (pictures to follow) That was great.
6) We are starting a few activities in the church. We are taking a parenting class and a "Starting Point" class. I want to build a better foundation in my understanding and that is where I start.
Now for Pictures.......THanks for reading. Thanks for caring. Love you :-)
Welp all....there ya have it :-)
