Catching Up

We are just now coming out of a very busy Fall. I don’t think we have ever been quite this busy. I had started to write about Keegan’s 4 month doctor visit and now it is almost time for his 6 month appointment.

Here are the 4 month old stats:

Yes, two weeks ago it was Keegan’s four month appointment. Here are the stats:

17 pounds 1.5 ounces (90th percentile)
26 inches (90th percentile)
42 cm head circumference (50th percentile)

We are looking at new car seats. We have decided to upgrade Zoey’s to a booster/high back car seat because she will be growing into the new booster style in the next 6 months or so. We will need to move Keegan in before that (at 27 inches and 20 pounds). So, that’s the plan.

He has just learned to stick out his tongue. It is very cute. No picture yet. He’s fast. He is getting better at holding his head up and sitting up. He is also teething now. I am also going through all of his clothes. He is wearing the 9 month size right now. All the 6 months clothes are now too small.

Everything is getting starting back up now that school has started. We are still getting used to our new schedules. Preschool is up and running for Zoey at the new location three days a week. Little Gym is on a new day.

Moving right along… Keegan just cut TWO teeth! Yep. The first one (his bottom left) cut about 4 days ago and his bottom right cut sometime during The Night of No Sleep last night. He is very interested in food. Very interested. We are holding off until he is 6 months old (just another couple weeks). Zoey didn’t start on food until she was 7 months old. That was when her first tooth cut through.

In poop news, we had a clogged sewer pipe that was backing up in our garage. Ummm, yep. Spent almost $700 to get that cleared out. And then he tells us that the pipe leading to the street is busted and made of cement and that it will be probably "in the upper teens" which means 15-19,000 (!) dollars. I just about dropped Keegan. So, I guess we will deal with that when we need to. We are okay so far.

We just finished up our preschool’s silent auction last weekend. It brought in more than $5000 for the school. YAY! I am so glad that is over! By the way, Grandpa Earl made an amazing wooden bird house and it sold for $60! Thanks Grandpa!

Zoey is doing well. She loves preschool. She loves the little gym. She is starting to draw numbers and can spell the word "stop."

That’s all we’ve got for now. More catching up (and pictures!) shortly.
