More Milestones

Life is crazy as usual and while I have been thinking about Blog updates, they just haven't been happening. Here's a bit of a dump of what's been on my mind. No photos to share today.

FINNY:
Finny finally decided to take the plunge and become potty trained. I don't want to jinx things, but it was seriously as if he decided one day it was time and that was that. He's really had virtually no accidents and requires no reminders, just a lot of help dressing and undressing in the bathroom. I should mention that we upped the ante from M&Ms as rewards to trucks and that may have had something to do with the ease of this process. Let's just say we went from 1 truck to 4 in a very short period of time. He's even gone straight to being like dad and standing up when he goes #1. Wow - only one in diapers. Speaking of one in diapers...

HEATH:
I believe it's long over due to mention, but Heath continues to grow. At his 18 month appointment he was off the charts for height at 36 inches. His weight was in the 90th% topping out at just under 30lbs. I know many of you have 3 years olds that are not 30lbs. Heath's favorite activities of late are cars, reading about cars/truck/trains, and coloring. His most recent favorite thing to say is "truck" but he replaces the "t" with an "f". That makes for some funny public situations.

He also likes to be on the move and climb everything. He definitely keeps us on our toes.

ALEXIA:
At Alexia's five year check-up she weighed in at 50lbs and still towers at 46 inches.

School kicked off again the week after Labor Day. Finn and Lex are both be at the same school this year, but on different days. Both are very excited to be back in school and meet new friends. While we enjoyed the lazy and sporadic Summer, I think everyone benefits from a bit of structure, so being back in school is a good thing overall.
