First Day of Preschool!

Posted by Andrew & Jessica on Monday Sep 8, 2008 Under Mary Elizabeth, Uncategorized

WOW my little baby girl is now old enough to start school.
And there she was- the pretty little girl with her "Apple" backpack- so ready!! It
is unreal. Andy and I brought her this morning (Drew too) and the
feeling was indescribable. So surreal. We weren’t sad really though –
just in awe of her and amazed on how fast time flies.

There were no tears out of Mary Elizabeth’s eyes. Just happiness and
excitement. I simply told her she’d stay there by herself and that
mommy would be back to pick her up. She repeated what I said and was
A-OK with it!

As the teacher and aide’s said…. She fit right in, she’s very
independent and had herself a great time. The nurse who attends with
her said she was the first to get up and dance when they put on
music… and she loved being outside. Also she did a bit of artwork
that she brought home too.

When I picked her up she was so excited about it and told me all about
her day. I am so happy for her because I know how much she did and will
enjoy preschool!

9 Months (+3 days)

Posted by Andrew & Jessica on Monday Aug 25, 2008 Under Uncategorized
That’s right my little guy is 9 months old! I know, I know bad mommy
posting 3 days late. The day he turned 9 months I wasn’t even home with
internet because Andy was away for work and we didn’t stay home.
Anyway,
on his 9 month birthday we went to the doctor and he’s 18 lbs 8 oz
(19th percentile) and 26.69 inches tall (8th percentile). So while
everyone in the world keeps telling me how big he is- our dr said he’s
a little peanut! Not too shocked as we already had one peanut- (Mary
Elizabeth). But she was always below the 5th percentile. They are
growing along the curve just fine however.

He’s
doing everything he should be doing at his age and more! Mommy’s head
is starting to spin with both kids in each direction. So far he hasn’t
let go- but he’s cruising and crawling at lightening speed. We don’t
have stairs but when we were at Grandma’s house we found out that he
can crawl up the stairs- meaning we had to be extra careful!

He
shares the rest of the family’s love for music- and has starting
rocking to the beat when music is played. He loves loves loves Daddy’s
guitar and the little play one too and seems to strum the strings
pretty darn well for a 9 month old. Hmm a natural?

He’s eating
all sorts of food and so far there is nothing he won’t eat. As long as
it’s food he’s good! …(actually he’d even eat non-food)… All I know
is if you plan on eating in front of him, you better have something to
feed him because he’ll scream at you!
Speaking
of screaming… he still has quite the set of lungs and can be quite
loud. He babbles a lot too and is always "talking" to us and definitely
tries to mimic the words we say. He has a bit of a sense of humor
especially where his sister is concerned. He’s always cracking up and
she knows just how to make him laugh. The two of them are a riot… and
a handful! haha. But I love them both very much 🙂
