My Baby

Today was Little Sisters 15 month check up. Tomorrow she is officially 15 months old. I can't believe it!! I'm curious where all the time has flown. Her official stats are 20 lbs 6 oz and 30 3/4 inches, so she is short and thin on the famous growth chart, just like her sisters. However at 6 months she was such a little chub! I think I'm going to post some pics to show the difference later. OH, her head circ is in the 75th percentile. Big head, typical of breastfed babies.

Let me tell you about Sis. She is smart! Often to smart for my own good, and she uses this often to her advantage. She can say everyone in the immediate families names, plus, some of the cousins and one of the Aunts. Actually, she can give a pretty good attempt at saying whatever word you ask her too. Some you don't even.

NUMMIES!!

About nummies, all of my children have been breastfed, these last three for extended time. Missy, Kadie and Maddi. All three have called them nummies while breastfeeding. Sister however is the first breastfeeding acrobat I encountered. Sometimes while nursing she might be standing on my legs with her bottom in the air, its crazy looking. Heaven help the person in the "nummy chair" when she's tired and grouchy!!

She still sleeps with Mike and I everynight, we have a side car setup with her crib. She can't stand to have covers on her and will kick them off immediately every time.

At meal time she knows it's prayer time and will hold my hand quietly until the Amen, which she repeats.

I could go on and on and on. She just continues to be an amazing blessing for our entire family. Hmmm, just like her siblings.

Meg and Missy got their updated pics taken about a month ago. All by my amazing photographer sister Lish Steinmann.

Ahhh Summer

Well, summer break is not only here but 1/2 over already. I can't believe it and neither can the kids. I LOOOOVVVVEEEE summer time with the kids. I love no real schedule, no getting them up early. Swimming all day, sandwiches for lunch so we can hurry back outside, millions of popsicles. I love love love it!!

It seems like the kids are all having a good time. Michael has been selling cars for several months now and has had a really good month. He plans on moving out next week and in with his girlfriend, I may or may not write more about this later depending on how emotional I'm feeling about it. Meggie is keeping very busy working as a janitor at our school this summer, it's hard work but she has never minded that and loves the end results $$$$$. Missy has swam lots and spent lots of time with her girlfriends. Kadie is wrapping up her softball season and ready to just hang out the rest of the summer, at least until soccer starts. Little sister is just in heaven that her sisters are home. Her summer activities include leading her sisters to do her every whim, brother also when he is not at work. I'm not quite sure what I'm going to do with her in 6 weeks when everyone goes back, it will be rough.
