little miss 90

Abigail had her 4mo check up yesterday and weighs 15.5lbs!!! This is in the 90th percentile for weight....and she is over 25" long - again, 90th percentile for height. We are so blessed to have such a healthy, baby girl!

ISR swim...test day 2

Again... all three did a great job on their "swim in winter clothes" test - even in winter boots!!!

I am so proud of Mary, Gabby, & Mateo.... in just a short time they have come a long way...

ISR swim...week 4

In just the last few days, Mateo and Mary have gone beyond my expecatations in the water. Mateo is a total pro - so comfortable in the water and with a constant smile to prove it! They are so far ahead that our instructor is showing them how to "dive for toys (or a key for that matter)", jump off the edge, and swim to the stairs - for safety.

Gabby is slowly but surely making strides towards getting over her fear of the water and is finally producing a pretty good float.

Great job - kiddos!

all together.....

wishful thinking

Bribery will get you everywhere.... I had bought a monster truck for Mateo and upon seeing it (and wanting it) I told him that after he "pooped" in the potty - he could have it. So he went into the bathroom, de-diapered, and went poop in the potty. He was elated to have his monster truck.

But not elated enough for a repeat performance. Two more monster trucks lay sitting on the counter...waiting for Mateo to want them bad enough. Sigh. Fingers crossed we will be having another party in the potty soon.
