This week

Well, lets see... Laura is now 4 months old and has exactly doubled her birth weight. She is now 12 lbs. 12 oz. Getting so big. I had to go through her wardrobe and take out all the newborn stuff. Kinda sad. But it was fun to get her the next size clothes. We got some really cute ones from a friend of Jeff's whose daughter, same age as Laura, is 18-19 lbs. First baby so we get some cute stuff. I love hand-me-downs!! Thanks Cindy. Laura is in the 20th percentile on weight, 26th for height (24" tall) and 66th on noggin size (42 cm.) She falls right in line with the rest of the kiddos. Hugh heads!! Lots of brains, right?!?!


Andrew had his 4 year check up at the same time. He showed the Doctor how impressive he is with his awesome skills of hoping, jumping, sitting still, breathing deep and of course how he is potty trained now and using cool underwear. At this point in the conversation with the doctor, he turned around, opened the back of his "gown" and bent over touching his toes, wiggling his cute little butt and said (though his legs) "Look, its Incredible Hulk underwear." The doctor, bless her heart, said in such a respectful voice... " That is so wonderful!! I love the Hulk!" Andrew positively beamed with pride. I was trying so hard to not bust a gut in the corner watching the whole interaction he was having with the doctor. When did our little boy get so big? Oh wait... he has always been a big boy! :D Anyway, he now weighs 49 lbs and is 42 1/2 " tall. A big boy and solid too.



Scott is doing really good in school. He is doing good at reading. That is his favorite thing to do. He is learning about volcanoes right now. Talk about cool!!



Amy is also doing really good in school. She is learning to read and enjoys it a lot. She also lost her 8th tooth on Saturday at our ward Thanksgiving dinner. It was a very special thing for her to not have to have it ripped out with dental floss. I am just glad that she didn't swallow it. I didn't want to have to try and figure out how the Tooth Fairy was going to give her money for that. :) But apparently the Tooth Fairy is in big trouble because she didn't make it to Amy's tooth last night and now owes her double. Oops!

Also we found out that... YES children can sleep anywhere!!

Andrew had fallen asleep on the couch and Jeff was trying to wake him up to go to the bathroom one last time. It didn't work. I don't think I have laughed so hard for a while. It was so funny. I am glad that we got a camera so that we could share this with all of you. We love you!
