2 year check up's

The little kids went for their 2 year check ups. It went well. Everyone is healthy, and ornery!
 Elliott 28.4#, 35.5 inches, Head 19.5 inches. He is on the 85% for weight on the growth chart. Yea!!
Olivia 21.12 # 32.5 inches, Head 19 inches. She is still on the low side of growth chart for weight, 35%, she will get there.
Ethan 23.3 #, 34 inches, and Head 19 inches, 45% on growth chart for weight.
Owen 25.5 #, 34.5 inches, and Head 19 inches. He is on the 80% for weight.
Duncan goes at the end of the month for his 5 year check up, can't wait to see how he is doing.. Very well I am sure.

Owen, Elliott, Ethan and Olivia started speech a couple weeks ago. They have really started talking, but I am sure speech a couple times a month will help. They go to the preschool and Heather from AEA  meets us there. They are always saying something! Must get it from Duncan, he is always talking too. He ask lots and lots of questions. Good, but sometimes I just want it to be quiet!!

Tracy and I went to Coralville for the winter waterfights. It was a good time. Tracy fought, I did not. I enjoyed the company but was glad to get home to the kids after being gone for a whole entire day. They stayed at aunt and uncles. They had a good time, and everything went well.

Tracy's conference in California went well. Everything went well at home too. Not disasters here. We were glad he was home. Olivia broke my glasses the first night he was gone, so Grandma babysat so I could get new frames. I worked one day and it was nice to get away for awhile!
All of the kids love smoothies. We have been having them a lot lately. The first time they drank them just out of a cup, it went well. The next time we used spoons because it was a little thick, way messy! Then we tried straws, huge mess, the little ones were flinging it all over each other and the table and walls! Needless to say, they went to the tub after this. So we will go back to drinking out of the cup! No utensils needed for smoothies.
