Mila's 6 month checkup

Today Mila had her 6 month checkup.  She is right on target for hitting development milestones, and even ahead in some aspects.  Poor little thing had to get 4 shots, but she took them like a champ.  Stopped crying even before I picked her up.  What a tough gal!  Below are her stats

Weight.....16lbs 7oz..  which is the 52nd percentile
Height......27 inches....which is the 88th percentile
Head Circumference....42cm which is the 43rd percentile

Getting better

Elan is getting much better with writing his letters and coloring.  This weekend he was able to write his name on his own.  He got the E and L right away and drew the A and N right after I demonstrated it.  It was quite impressive!

And it wouldn't be a weekend without some cuddling time on the couch.

6 months old

These last 6 months have gone so quickly.  Mila is starting to scoot around and we think she will be crawling in no time.  Mila is doing great at daycare and they tell us all the time that she is a joy and such a happy baby.

Elan wanted to get in Mila's pictures with his picture-monkey.  The two are so funny together.

Play time

This weekend Grandma and Grandpa Dav came out to help work on the cape house.  We were so busy we didn't get a chance to take any pictures.  We have made a lot of progress and will post pictures soon!

Tonight, after bath time, Elan and Mila had a great time playing with each other. It is one of the best sounds when the two of them are laughing at each other.

Working hard

This weekend Mat was working on the cape house again.  He is making progress but the work is tough.  Elan is really into play dough lately and can sit at the table for hours making stuff.  So, we went to Target to get more Play dough tools for him.  One included a Play dough steam roller...Rollie, of course.

Mat came home on Saturday night and was exhausted from working so hard for the last 2 days.  So, on Sunday we ran errands and relaxed.  Mat and Mila got comfy enough to nap on the couch.  So cute!

Elan's 3 Year Checkup

Elan had his 3 year checkup today.  Even though it was a few months late!  The doctor is really happy with his development and doesn't have any concerns.  They did an eye exam and a bunch of cognitive tests and Elan passed all with flying colors.  The nurse kept making comments on how smart and well he followed instructions. 

Mila starts solids

We started giving Mila solids this week.  Below are some pictures from the first time we gave her cereal.  She did great, what a smart girl!

Mat was down on the cape all weekend working on the house.  So, tonight before bed the kids cuddled up with Mat, it was nice to have him home!
