3 Month Check-Up

Today's news: Grace weighs 13 lbs, 12 ounces (75th percentile) and is 23 inches long (73rd percentile). Her head circumference is 15 3/4 inches (52nd percentile). Dr. Oh-Tan said she looks great and that she is growing well. In fact, Grace tried to "swim" off the examining table. While we are still waiting for her to turn over on her own, Dr. Oh-Tan was impressed by Grace's early attempts at crawling. On the big brother front, Dylan got a time out at Mother's Day Out for not sharing with his friend, Justin, in an appropriate way. Boo!

Going to the City!

Inspired by our friends, Molly and Vince, Steve and I decided to venture into DC to see the On the Move exhibit at the Smithsonian American History Museum. Dylan absolutely LOVES all transportation vehicles. At this point in time, he is especially enamored with trains. Therefore, we chose to take the Metro as part of our field trip. Dylan and Grace behaved beautifully and traveled well. Dylan was so enthusiastic about everything he saw in the exhibit ... it was so fun to watch him as parents!

Dylan Makes Cake

Dylan and Mimi had a special Thursday this past week; they made angel food cupcakes together. Dylan really enjoyed pouring the ingredients and putting the cupcake liners in the baking pan. Interestingly, he liked making the cupcakes more than eating them. Luckily, Mimi and Mommy took care of the eating part!

Is He Wrong??

Dylan knows most of his letters these days, but he thinks W should be pronounced "double-vee". I don't think he's wrong ...

It "No-ing"

In true two year-old style, Dylan looked out of the window this morning and proclaimed, "It no-ing, Mama!" I'm not quite sure how he knew about snow (maybe books, maybe Sesame Street, maybe a Thomas episode), but he was ecstatic about what was happening outside. So after 30 minutes of prepping to go outside, we lasted about 20 minutes. Dylan loves the snow, but not cold hands or wearing gloves. 

Whose Chair Is It Anyway?

Dylan will not be dethroned! Grace and Dylan share the blue Bumbo chair these days. For those of you who can remember, Dylan was a HUGE baby and his cute (but hefty) thighs never fit comfortably in the Bumbo chair. Since then, he has slimmed down a bit and actually fits in the chair well. However now that Grace is able to hold up her head, she is staking her claim.

Juice Boxes and Coronas

The Third Monthly Adult-Kid Playdate. This time it was up to Dylan and Grace to host their Winchester friends. It was a full house with TEN adults and SIX children (under the age of 2 1/2 years.) So glad to have you join us, Eric, Mandy, and Noah! We all had fun discussing lack of sleep, the Backyardigans, and sippy cup brands. Looking forward to next month's adventure at the Warrens. Thank you all for traveling our way to play!
