Growing up!

The kids both had their check-up appointments this week. 

Both of my kiddos are happy, healthy, growing well, and developing on time.

 What else could a mother ask for?!

Calvin is 4 months old

Weight 17.4 pounds 85%

Height 25.5" and 50%

Head 18" and off the charts

Shelby is 2 years old

Weight 30 pounds 83%

Height 34.5" and 50%

Head 20" and off the charts

Calvin smiles all the time and laughs now. He's starting to roll over. He's happy on his side, but when he falls all the way onto his face, he doesn't like it. He is a good sleeper and doesn't wake up very much to eat anymore. He puts himself to sleep at night and gets cranky if he's not in his crib by about 8 am. Recently, he has been waking up to eat around 3 am, and he just lays in bed and talks and coo's. It's very cute, even though it's 3 in the morning. I usually start talking to him and get him really excited. Then we are both wide awake and try to go back to bed. He has the cutest rolls on his arms and legs. I love this age when they are interacting more, happy all the time, and have lots of baby chub to love!

Shelby Lu is a little talker these days. She tells me when Calvin is sleeping, talking, crying, pooping, or happy. She is always on the look-out for him. She loves to tell Caleb and I what to do. She insists on jumping off everything right now, which is not my favorite habit. She jumps over cracks in the sidewalk, jumps off steps, jumps off our furniture, and jumps on her bed when she's suppose to be sleeping. She also likes to throw things now, and has a wicked side-arm. She loves to be outside in the rain, sun, or wind. The weather doesn't slow her down one bit. Luckily, grandma got her new rain boots. Her old ones have huge cracks in them because she wore them almost every day last year. She's such a fun kid to be around!

It appears that Calvin's head is keeping up with his sisters. They are both setting their own curves on the growth charts. It's hard to explain to people how huge my kids heads are. I thought maybe if I included this graph of Shelby's head growth chart, it would show you. This is the reason that child birth is not very easy for me! Calvin's is following the same as Shelby's. Lot's of brains in there I hope!
