Big Healthy Boy
Yesterday Joely had his 4 month appointment (at 4 1/2 months). He was 14.8 lbs (30%), Head was 50% and height was 70%. He has doubled his birth percentage in the last two months! We are so happy since we had a bit of a struggle with his weight gain in the beginning.
He got to try rice cereal yesterday, yum. He loved it and had the hang of eating off of a spoon in no time! What can I say, he's a prodigy! Enjoy the pics of his first spoon feeding. Don't mind that he's in the car seat, I really need to get down to the basement and get the high chair, like I have time for that.
My brother got married over this past weekend, Corey and the girls were in the wedding so it was a crazy busy weekend. On top of the weekend being so busy both of our cars decided that the weekend was the perfect opportunity to start crapping out! It's not like we have junkers. So we have decided to take the plunge, I'll probably be getting a mini-van sometime in the really near future. My sister told me her friend is going to design a window decal for mini-van owners that says "don't knock it, rock it". I'll be first in line to purchase mine!
PS - have I mentioned that this incredible kid of mine sleeps 12 hours a night?? Amazing!

Stories For The Day
Gotta love girl drama! The girls test my patience every single school morning with clothes drama. "This is too tight, that is too loose, I have a wedgie"...you get the point! Last week I told Corey "watch this", and I had Aly pick out her clothes for school the night before. We went through about 45 minutes of drama...I said, "see, this is what I go through every morning".
So what do they get for all of this patience testing? Rewarded! That's right, new Barbies for all! Honestly the new Barbies were for Ashley being the "Top Ba-man-a" at school. That's how she says banana! And Aly's is for getting green behavior bees for one whole month. So Ashley picks out this Barbie with a dog and a dog bathtub, and all the fun dog grooming accessories. The part that cracked me up the most was the Barbie washing the dog in her hot pink high heels...hmmm, sounds like something I would do since those who know me know I wear heels all the time!
Next story, Aly got in trouble earlier this week and even had to miss dance class because of it. When we got home she was sent to her room to write "Obey your parents" multiple times. When I looked closely at the sheet of paper I laughed and told Corey..."even Kindergartners have nicer handwriting than you". If you think I am exagerating, look at the picture, can you tell which one Corey wrote and which on Aly wrote? I rest my case!
Lastly, I am totally loving the magic pills my doc prescribed me...for milk production people...however, on occasion I do think a magic pill for relaxation and less stress doesn't sound like a bad idea...I guess that's what reading my bible will do for me too!

SURPRISE!
Surprise "Grandma" and everybody else, you get a real blog update today! I haven't totally been feeling like myself lately, maybe I can blame it on the hormones adjusting. I've had a real lack of motivation when it comes to blogging, etc. Maybe it's really a lack of energy but the motivation is there??
We had a full weekend of Soccer, Pumpkin Patch (didn't have the camera because it was impromptu after the game, bummer) and then Cards Game and dinner with Corey's family to celebrate his sisters' 30th B-day.
Here are a few pics from yesterday, Joel's first Cardinal Game. Pay close attention the picture of the field with the arch. They mowed the grass to look like the arch. What I want you to really look at in the picture is the railing at the bottom of the seats, someone to the left of us was actually letting their kids dangle over the edge...I know, can you even believe it? The kids had to be somewhere between 1 and 4 years old. It was making me so sick to my stomach to watch these Michael Jackson "esque" escapades that I told an usher so that they could say something. Even after the usher asked them to stop they continued to do it a bit later and she had to get onto them again! Unbelievable!!
As you can see from the pics, Joely Roly Poly is finally putting on some serious weight! I am looking forward to his 4 1/2 month appt next week to see how he stacks up on the growth chart. For awhile he was only in the 5th% for weight, doesn't look like that's the case anymore!
Today, Corey and I are celebrating our 15 year dating anniversary. He says this one doesn't count anymore but I still like to remember this special. We were 16 years old and he walked up the street to my house to see me and he officially asked me to "go out", exclusively, that Wednesday evening. I ended up getting grounded because I skipped dance class to hang out with Corey and then I walked him halfway home and supposedly my parents did not know where I went...whatever, but anyway after 15 years I would say the grounding was worth it!
PS - Jamie, do you see the stupid crap I used to get grounded for? My how times have changed of having to wear an oversized sweatshirt over a body suit just to get out of the house and Lisa gets to parade right past Dad in "those" shorts and "that" skirt!
