Kiddos

This morning I took all the kids in to the doctor's for their checkups at the same time because I'd have to bring them all anyways and I might as well get it all done at once. They did really good. And I still love seeing their percentiles so I'm going to post those and write about what they've been doing lately.



Violet:
Height: 38 " = 15th % Weight 31.4 lbs = 19th%
Violet is such a good sister- she was meant to be the oldest. She's so mature for her age. She's such a good listener and plays really well with Jude. She loves making Cohen laugh. She changes her clothes at least 5 times a day (seriously!) and sometimes she'll get up wearing different pajamas than the ones she went to bed in. Fashionista! She just had her 4th birthday and had so much fun! She had her little posse of friends at her party she was running around with and that helped her open her presents. Her favorite present was her Barbie bike from Papa Knight.



Jude
Height: 36 1/4"= 75th% Weight: 27.6 lbs = 34th% Head: 20" =90th%
My little Jude did is such a little boy. He's rough, he likes to pretend to be a monster, and he likes to play with any kind of ball. He loves his little brother but I always have to watch him because no matter how many times I try to explain it to him, he doesn't know how to be soft and gentle. When birthdays come around we always get the other kid a gift. So this year we got Jude a bubble lawn mower. He hasn't been able to do the bubbles because we've had some major rain storms here, but he pushes it all over the house. He loved it sooo much as you can see he pulled it into bed with him the night he got it. So cute! And at Violet's birthday party we keep losing Jude- he'd wonder out of the play area of the pizza place over to the arcade. He's his father's son :).


Cohen
Height: 261/2"= 69th% Weight: 14.5 lbs= 12th% Head: 17 1/4"=63rd%
Cohen is such little sweetheart. He's such a good baby! He's 5 1/2 months old and he's growing fast! He now rolls over on to his belly when I put him down, even in his sleep. He's been really fussy and doing lots of grunting the last few days, especially yesterday and when I peeked into his cute little mouth I saw 2 teeth starting to break through his gums. This is really early compared to the other 2- they got their teeth at 8 or 9 months. He still won't take a bottle but we're going to start him on real foods, so I'll get a litte bit of a break.

One last thing. Jude is the funniest, goofiest boy. We took a family pic (minus sleeping Cohen) at Violet's party and each time Jude made the funniest faces. He's hilarious! Here's one of them:
