We have had a pretty uneventful week.  For the most part, of course!  

Andy has worked a lot lately so this past weekend I had the kids. 
 We did manage to all go out for ice 
cream together yesterday afternoon. 
 Sydney enjoyed her ice cream, as usual, and Foster got a taste of Daddy's shake.  Just a tiny taste.  He loved it!  Of course...

Today was Foster's 6 month check up.  He weighed 19lbs 
4oz (50 - 75th percentile), was 30 inches long (off the charts) and his head was 46cm (90th percentile).  So his head and his body match and his weight is a bit under what they'd expect for his length.  :-)  Poor little guy, wasting away!  He's doing great.  Very healthy and alert baby.  We now get to start him on a few more veggies and some meats.  He got four shots and we'll go back in a few weeks for the first half of his flu shot.  She also gave me a nice pat on the back for continuing to breast feed him.  Of course, it is something I want to do... but it is nice to get the acknowledgment sometimes, too.

In the picture of him in his high chair, you can get a sense for how long he is (and also how much he enjoys munching on apples...)

Sydney had her sharing day at school today.  She was supposed to bring something that she is thankful for... so she brought her blankie (Ayayou, is what she calls it), her doll (Oddry) & pictures of all of us.  I'm anxious to hear how sharing time went!
