Dimensions

Rachel here. We just returned from the ped's office, and all I have to say is we have some big kids. :)

Reese, who I have to be VERY creative with these days in order to keep the tantrums to a minimum... hence the dish washing above... we learned is terrified of weight scales... fantastic. This go round she had to stand on the big kids scale and wanted no part of it. Therefore we had to weigh her quickly, so we think she may be about 30 lbs. She also did not want to stand against the wall to get her height checked, so she had to lay down on the table like her BABY sister... she measured in at 35 and 1/4 inches. You'll be glad to know she's perfectly healthy. She did get her flu shot, and I asked about the H1N1... doc said her only risk was her age and that we would more than likely only get a shot if we camped overnight when they came in, so we'll wait it out. We talked about everything from her vitamins to milk and potty training. She still seems completely uninterested, so we're not going to push anything. He recommended to try to put her on the potty after meals and when we see her trying to "hide" to go in her diaper, so we'll start there. He also said to use the naked tactic as a last resort. On the big girl bed front... her side rails for her convertible crib came in... it'll be changed into a full sized bed. I also went ahead and ordered her bedding... can't wait to post pictures! Hopefully this weekend we'll be getting some mattresses for her, and she'll be all grown up! :)

Now for our sweet sweet Emma Grace. She's a biggun. She weighed in at a whopping 14 lb 1 oz... came in as average... which is AWESOME! Definitely lets me know I'm doing my job! :) That officially means we move up to stage 2 diapers! Her "height" was 25 and 1/2 inches long... that put her height in the 75thish% along with her head circumference. She's meeting all of her milestone marks and looked completely healthy. We continue to give her rice cereal even though I think she loathes it. :) She rolled over from back to belly as I posted earlier but has yet to do it again. She is seriously the sweetest little thing!
