Kim and Ed Jr.

A couple of weeks ago Paige had her eighteen month check-up at the doctor. Here are her latest stats:

• Weight: 21.1 pounds. 45th percentile.
• Height: 32 inches. 50th percentile.
• Head: 47 centimeters. 75 percentile.

Paige continues to keep us very busy chasing her around the house, especially now that the baby gate at the bottom of the stairs has been removed. The gate was becoming more dangerous than it was worth after Paige learned how to open it and would swing on the door. She is becoming very vocal and has conquered how to say all of her favorite things such as milk, mom, and pacifier along with her own stern answers to any yes or no question.

Trey has become increasingly independent, though he still prefers to stick close to us most of the time. He has mastered riding his tricycle and big wheel, and he continues to love crafts especially painting and coloring. He loves this time of year with all the upcoming holidays, though he still says that Valentines day is his favorite.

Here are some pictures from the end of our summer and early fall, and don’t forget to check out these pics from our recent trip to NYC.

A few weeks back Paige had her fifteen month check-up at the doctor. Here are her latest stats:

• Weight: 20.7 pounds. 50th percentile.
• Height: 29.25 inches. 10th percentile.
• Head: 46.8 centimeters.

Trey at fifteen months:

• Weight: 24 pounds. 50th percentile.
• Height: 31 inches. 60th percentile.
• Head: 48.4 centimeters. 85th percentile.

Here are some recent photos of the kids over the last few months. Trey continues to love crafts of all sorts but especially loves painting wooden models. He has also become quite the gardener recently and is constantly taking care of his plants. Paige is completely mobile now and has become a really good climber of just about anything in her way. She is always trying to play with Trey, even if he wants to be left alone. She loves music and dancing, her dolls, and swimming.

Paige had her one year old check-up at the doctor office today. Here are her latest stats:

• Weight: 19.4 pounds. 45th percentile.
• Height: 28.5 inches. 25th percentile.
• Head: 46 centimeters. 75th percentile.

Amazingly here are Kim’s stats at one year:

• Weight: 20 pounds.
• Height: 28.75 inches.
• Head: 47 centimeters.

Looks like we have a little Kim in the making!

For comparison here are Trey’s stats at one year:

• Weight: 23 pounds.
• Height: 30 inches.
• Head: 48 centimeters.

And my stats at one year:

• Weight: 26.8 pounds.
• Height: 31.75 inches.

Over the weekend we celebrated Paige’s first birthday. I’m still waiting for my mom to post her photos from the party on flickr, but for now here are some photos she took of the kids on the day before Paige’s birthday last week.

I’ll add some more of my mom’s photos once she has them available. I also have a few random photos from my phone over the last few months.

It’s hard for me to believe how fast they are both growing up!

Last Monday was double duty day at the doctor’s office. Trey went in for his 3-year-old check-up and Paige was there for her 9 month check-up. Trey’s latest stats are:

• Weight: 31 pounds. 45th percentile.
• Height: 36 inches. 20th percentile.
• Head: 51.5 centimeters.

Paige’s latest stats are:

• Weight: 17.5 pounds. 50th percentile.
• Height: 27 inches. 25th percentile.
• Head: 44.5 centimeters. 75th percentile.

Paige is becoming increasingly mobile every day and has just started taking her first steps, though it seems that she still prefers to crawl wherever she needs to go. Trey loves building puzzles and putting together various crafts. Below are some photos from the last few months.

Monday was Paige’s six month check-up with the pediatrician. Here are her latest stats:

• Weight: 16.1 pounds. 50th percentile.
• Height: 25 inches. 25th percentile.
• Head: 43.25 centimeters. 75th percentile.

She is now eating three meals a day and growing up too quickly. She is crawling around pretty well and the doctor said she will be walking before too long. Trey took his first steps around eight months, so that isn’t very far away at all.

Last Friday was Paige’s four month check-up with the pediatrician. Here are her latest stats:

• Weight: 14.3 pounds. 55th percentile.
• Height: 24 inches. 35th percentile.
• Head: 41.6 centimeters. 80th percentile.

We were given the go ahead to give her rice cereal along with some fruits and vegetables. She takes her eating seriously, so I’m curious to see what she thinks of food.

Here are a couple photos of the kids before a recent wedding party.

Two weeks ago we had Paige’s three month check-up with the pediatrician. Here are her latest stats:

• Weight: 12.7 pounds. 50th percentile.
• Height: 23 inches. Just under 50th percentile.
• Head: 39.9 centimeters. 70th percentile.

I don’t have any information from Trey’s three month. Perhaps he didn’t go?

Here are a few snapshots from our recent vacation in Hilton Head.

I’m trying to get back into the habit of updating this blog a little more regularly. With a new baby in the house I find myself taking a lot more photos on my phone. Fortunately I can upload these very easily and share them with the world.

Trey has had a very busy last 6 months. He celebrated his second Christmas, was the ring bearer for Bobbi’s wedding, and had his second birthday. Throw in numerous trips to the zoo and Kings Island and there are tons of pictures to share. These are some of the best from my phone.
