Sunday Junk Day

Last year on Superbowl Sunday, we went to Joelee and Jason's for what my sister has dubbed "Junk Day".  It's exactly what it sounds like: we all make junk and gorge ourselves on large quantities of yummy food with no nutritional value.  I remember Junk Day well last year: I was newly pregnant and had felt really well up to that day.  I made food I was so excited to eat and couldn't eat any of it.  This year was way different!  I'm still trying to work off the pounds I gained last Sunday!

We had a spread of dips and other appetizers, I made soup, Mom made cookies and it was all so very, very good.  Lincoln opted to eat Wheat Thins he dipped in ranch dressing and marinara sauce.  It was junk day, so I let it slide.  Could have been worse, I suppose!

Every time we get together, the kids all play together just a little more.  I love to see the kids playing and interacting.  It really is mad chaos when they all get together!  My parents got them all sunglasses, a book and a sucker for Valentine's Day.  They loved all the gifts, but I particularly liked watching them try get the sunglasses on straight.

A special thanks to Uncle Jason who was feeling like crud, but still played with the kiddos.

Isadora was her normal, tired self.  She was able to sneak a nap in, but everyone wanted their chance to hold her.  Quin is in love with Isa!  How cute it is to see her holding her and nuzzling her cheeks.  Adorable.

Lincoln surprised us with this little outfit.  He's got a thing for style, that son of mine.

Thanks for checking in with us.  We've been boring lately, but I have a feeling Isadora is on the verge of some pretty exciting milestones!!

4 Month Appointment

Earlier this week, we took Isa for her 4 month appointment.  4 months!  Oh my gosh how time flies by.  It seems like I just had her!

At her appointment, Isa's stats were:

Height: 25 inches (65th percentile)
Weight: 15 pounds 2 ounces (70th percentile)
Head circumference: 41 cm (39th percentile)

She did really well with her shots; well, I actually was told she did well.  I've never been able to watch or help with shots, that's why Kirk always goes with me!  I make him hold Lincoln or Isa while I sit back and cry or leave the room to set up the next appointment.  Their little skin is so sensitive!  I hate shot day.

We had no real concerns.  Our biggest concern is her sleeping; not because she's not sleeping, but because she sleeps so much!  We put Isadora down every night by 6:30.  Sometimes she'll wake up in the night, but she'll usually sleep until about 8:30.  I will feed her, she'll be up for another hour or hour and a half and then she goes back to sleep until about 1 pm.  It's amazing!  Then she'll be up for a bit and nap for about another hour before we get her ready for bed.  I like to think this is her way of repaying us for the first 6 weeks!

We go back at 6 months.  Can't wait to see what she's doing in 2 months!
