4 month checkup

Mila had her 4 month checkup today.  The doctor actually said, "she is perfect".  We couldn't agree more.  In addition, Mila recently found her feet, which she finds really exciting.  Below are her stats.

Weight ...... 14.1 lbs, which is in the 48th percentile

Length....... 25 inches, which is in the 74th percentile

Head Circumference....16.0 inches, which is in the 55th precentile

Mila is 4 months old!

We can't believe that Mila is already 4 months old.  She changes so much each day.  She smiles all the time and loves to watch Elan and Puna.  When she is really fussy we just call Puna to come and Mila's face lights up and she smiles.

Cape House Hunt

This weekend we all went down to the cape to look at a few houses.  We are considering buying a house on the cape that we can rent out in the summer and enjoy in the off season for us.  When we got to South Yarmouth we went out to Breakfast at Fran & Annie's, which is a cute little restaurant with really good cajun bacon.  Before we went to look at houses we found a kids play area to let Elan burn off some energy.

 We also spent the rest of the long holiday weekend shopping and hanging out in Framingham.

Happy Birthday Elan!

Today was Elan's 3rd birthday...and Thanksgiving.  So we had 2 reasons to celebrate.  Grandma and Grandpa Dav were still in town.  In the morning we went and ran/walked the Gobble Gobble Gobble 4 mile race in Sommerville.  Then it was home to open gifts and cook Thanksgiving dinner.

Uncle Ryan Visits!

Uncle Ryan came into town this weekend to celebrate Elan's birthday with Grandma and Grandpa Dav.  We didn't do much on Saturday but on Sunday we went out to breakfast, played at a playground and painted pottery all before nap time.  After dinner Elan opened gifts and ate cake.  He was really excited for both the cake and gifts.

Grandma J visits

This week Grandma J came out to watch Mila for the week.  Unfortunately for Grandma J, everyone but Mila in the house was sick but Grandma did a great job taking care of everyone.

 Even though Elan was sick, he still was his goofy self most of the time.

Halloween at School

Today Elan's school and a little Halloween party.  They had the kids dress up and had various station where they did activities.  I think Elan liked decorating the cookie the best.  

Elan teacher, Meghan, was telling me that Elan is such a funny guy.  She also mentioned that she has never known an almost-3 year old to be so sarcastic.  I asked her to give me an example and this is the conversation that they had when they were getting ready to do an art project with Popsicle sticks.
Meghan: Here is your Popsicle stick
Elan: Meghan, you forgot my Popsicle
Meghan: No Elan, we are just using the sticks
Elan: Then you should just call it a stick
hahahaha!

Mila's 100 days

Today Mila is 100 days old.  According to Mat's boss, 100 days is a very important milestone.  So, we decided to take some pictures of Mila with her dragon.  Mila was born in the year of the dragon.  Elan was born in the year of the Ox.
