A peek into our day yesterday.  It's finally gotten warm enough to turn sprinklers on!

And it was thoroughly enjoyed...for hours!

Amélie

My baby is growing up so quickly.  I  love watching her grow and learn new things each day but it sure makes me sad how fast it is going by; it makes me want to have a ton of kids so I can always have a baby!  Babies are so much fun!

This little girl is still pretty small compared to other babes her age.  She had her 4 month check up yesterday (she is almost 5 months, we are running a little behind schedule on her appointments).  I thought it'd be interesting to compare Amélie and Jordan's stats at 4 months.

Weight:  Amélie 11.8 lbs - 4%,      Jordan 13.8 lbs - 49%

Length:  Amélie 22 inches - 40%,  Jordan 24 1/2 inches - 60%

Head:     Amélie 38 cm - 23%,       Jordan 40.2 cm - 30%

As you can see Amélie is on the very low end of the weight chart.  The doctor said that we will keep and eye on it but as of right now she is not concerned because Amélie has had a steady increase in weight and she looks very proportional.  She's just a long, skinny little thing.  I wish everyone could meet her!

Painting accident

So much for Jordan and I trying to paint our nails today.  I'm still working on trying to get this off the carpet, my shirt, my arm and the table.  Maybe this needs to remain an outdoor activity?  SO FRUSTRATING!

More cacahiya please?

This is how things happen a lot at our house.  It's perfect to put Amélie in her Bumbo seat and set her on the table during meals so she can be part of the family.

We've offered a reward to Jordan for having 100% accident free days when it comes to going potty and that reward is this tasty chocolate cereal with marshmallows.  Jordan loves it and is always asking for "caca-hiya" (translate as chocolate cereal).

Today when her friend was over I put two potties in the bathroom so they could each use one (you know, power of suggestion, or maybe it's just that peer influence).  When Melody's mom went in to help she found poop in one potty so she went to have her daughter use the other one and there was poop in there too.  I guess Jordan decided halfway through that she needed to switch potties?  I wonder what gave her that idea but it certainly cracks me up whenever I think about it.
