Compliments from Kids

Compliments from kids crack me up and Amelia is no exception, that's for sure! Last night she went into the bathroom to go poop. When she was done she called me in to help her wipe and when I was done wiping her she said, with a smile:

"Dad, you are the best bottom-wiper EVER!"

Cracked me up!

P is 6 months!

Pierson had his 6-month check up on July 13th. He's still not the tallest guy in town at 25 inches (2nd percentile--up from 1st percentile at his 4 month check!), but he makes up for it in the weight category at 16lb 13oz (35th percentile). Dr. Amy was also pretty impressed that he makes a "da-da-da" sound! He's definitely more mobile than he ever has been. We no longer find him in the same spot we left him, that's for sure! He's a rock-solid sitter, has been since 5 months.

Pierson at 6 months:



Pierson crawls at 10 days shy of 7 months!! We actually caught on video his first time crawling!! He's been doing a modified army crawl for several weeks, but this is his first time moving forward on his hands and knees.

Too long...

I found this one that I started in July of 2011, so I thought I'd post it because its too funny to not share!! 

Ameliaism:

~Amelia with Uncle Jason: Jason came to visit a couple of weeks ago, and he noticed some teeth marks in a foam puzzle piece of Amelia's.
Jason: Amelia, did you chew on this?
Amelia: No, that was Pierson.
Jason: Well, Pierson doesn't have teeth.
Amelia: I might have done it.....

Milk

The other night I was eating oreos and milk. I had Pierson on my lap and Amelia next to me. He kept trying to grab my glass of milk. Amelia laughed and said "Silly Pierson!! You can't have people milk!!" Funnily enough, that's all he CAN have! Haha!

Amelia the Budding Photographer

Amelia asked if she could take some pictures with our camera today. We figured she could take a few. Once she got her hands on it, we couldn't stop her! These are some shots we thought we'd share.

This one's not too bad! I think I'll frame it for her:

I think she has an emerging talent!!!

Our Chubby Funster

Pierson had his 4 month check up this past Wednesday (5/11). Our boy is 14lbs 6oz (26th percentile), 23 1/4 inches long (1st--yes, that's right, first percentile), and 16 1/4 inch head (25-50 percentile). He's doin' great and growin' up!! He had two shots and fussed the entire time afterwards until we left. The poor fella had a terrible afternoon--when we were leaving the clouds opened up and dumped rain on us before we could get in the car. He was NOT happy, and let us know for several minutes!

Pierson at (1 day shy of) 4 months:

A & P

I thought it would be fun to put pictures of each of the kids at 3 months side by side. You can tell they're related, but they look so much different!!! Where does the time go!?!?!
