6 Month Stats

Can you say "Chunky Monkey"?

My main man had his 6 month check-up with Dr. Bristol today. Holden weighed in at a whopping 20 pounds even! He's 28 inches long. That puts him in the 75th percentile for weight and 95th for length. I knew he was a big boy, but I was pretty surprised when the scale tipped 20 pounds. WOW! I went back and pulled Mae's records and at 6 month she only weighed 15 pounds 3 ounces and was 26.75 inches long.

Lucky 7

Today, Trey and I have been married for 7 years. And today, I love him more than I did back then.

Happy Anniversary, Sparky! Thanks for the best 7 years of my life. I hope we have 77 more...

I love you forever...

Happy 4th Birthday, Maison Ann!


Our sweet Maison turned 4 today. 4 going on 14... Who knew that attitude and sass would already be a part of our life as parents?

The last 4 years have flown by. It seems like only yesterday that we brought her home from the hospital. When I think back over the last year, I am amazed at the progress she has made in everything from her size to the size of her vocabulary. I am amazed on a daily basis at the things she says! "Well, actually, Mom, I want fish sticks for dinner." Actually? Well, duh... excuse me. And for the record, my name is Mommy. I don't want to hear Mom come out of her 4 year old mouth again. Whenever she calls me Mom, I refuse to answer her until she gets it right.

At 4 years old, she is measuring 42 inches tall (90-95th% for her age) and weighs 37.5 pounds. Over the summer, she had such a growth spurt that I had to buy a second summer wardrobe because all of her shirts were showing her midriff! Daddy didn't like that much, so off to the store we went. I bought her new jeans in September and has to hand them down to my cousin already because Mae looked like she was waiting on a flood.

Mommy and Daddy love you, Mae. These 4 years have been the nest of our life together. Being parents to you and "Baby Holden" is not only the biggest responsibility of our life, but also the biggest honor.
