The Third Time's the Charm



I'm not sure if it is true that the third time is the charm, (since I'm pretty partial to my first and second), but I know that our third is becoming quite charm-ing!

At her two month check up, she weighed in at 11 pounds even and 24 inches. Her length was in the 93% percentile! That is just a half inch smaller than Big Will was at his 2 month visit (though he had a full two pounds on her). She is
1/2 inch longer than Sophie was, but a little over a pound lighter. Dr. Dick said to expect her to be long and lean, much like her sister. (Dr. Dick also mentioned that brother should be nicknamed "Tank!) Though she cried her eyes out for her immunizations, she calmed very quickly, and had no problems whatsoever.

The frequency of her sweet smiles seem to grow each day, and she is working hard laughing! No
real laughs yet, although we've had a couple of close calls. We also caught her worshipping in her sleep this week! We all had so much fun watching her
snoozing with her arms lifted above her head!

Lillie is growing into a sweet-natured, beautiful baby girl, who is well-loved by the entire family. We are enjoying each day with her, and we can't wait to know her more and more as she grows. Our third baby is quickly charming her way into our hearts.

Happy 31st Birthday!

Happy 31st Birthday Matt! Most people say things like, "I can hardly believe it's been a year since we fill-in-the blank... My, where does the time go???" Well, I know where the time since your last birthday has gone. It's been right here backing over us like a mack truck! All I can think as I remember last Halloween is how has it only been one year since you were celebrating your 30th birthday by going to a Halloween bash designed for teenagers while Aunt Pam and I took the kids trick-or-treating in the rain? It seems like at least three years ago since you and I were in the house with a princess throwing a fit about something while Aunt Pam was on the front porch knocking on the door to let us know our dragon had just made himself throw up to avoid wearing his costume. Seriously. Are you sure you're not turning 35? Since this year has been oh-so-eventful, I thought it would be no problem to come up with 31 memorable moments from the past year! 1. Begin at the b...

She Never Stops Talking

Image
Sometimes when Matt is home for extended periods of time, as he was during the week of Thanksgiving, he has the opportunity to notice new things about our children. Not that he isn't connected to them - he is an amazing, hands-on, intentional dad, but the fact that he spends much of his time at work means that there are little "joys" his misses out on.  One of the little "joys" he misses most of the time is the opportunity to spend long periods of time in the car with our kids. (I attribute Matt's perpetual cheerfulness to this fact, but that is another story...) Over Thanksgiving, however, Matt spent all kinds of time in the car with our offspring, and he was stunned by the number of times Sophie said "Mama..." Now, she said it no more and no less than she normally does, but the fact that Matt was in the car and I was talking, or trying to talk, with him seemed to highlight how often the word that has become my name was uttered. Sophie has always...

Sophie's 8th Birthday

Image
Sophie had one of her most perfect days on her 8th birthday, and I loved that we were able to give her a dream-come-true day! She woke up to a birthday breakfast, but without our typical doughnuts because we were headed straight for the Franklin Farmer's Market. We showered her with art supplies and an Ariel birthday sign, and she was thrilled about all of them!  At the Farmer's Market, Sophie roamed around like the gypsy she is, thrilled to have $10 (instead of her usual $5) to spend! You can't imagine how much Sophie can buy with $10 at the Farmer's Market! When honey sticks are going for a quarter, that can make for a long day! It was hotter than blue blazes, and we'd brought Aunt Tori, Uncle Derek, Aunt Hope, and Zoe, so over half our crew had to head inside The Factory before Soph had finished her shopping, but not before we all enjoyed treats and lunch from Biscuit Love!  After the Farmer's Market, we all head to Honey's, a new candy ...
