Auburn Guy

We told Jackson to go upstairs and get dressed. He came down wearing this and said, "Hey, I'm an Auburn guy!" War Eagle!

Kate is one month old today!

There's No Sharing in Soccer!

Jackson had his first soccer game today! It was about like what you would expect of a bunch of three-year-olds playing soccer....some hanging out inside the goal, some picking their noses, some clinging to their parents, some kicking the ball in the wrong goal (hmmm...Jackson)...but it was a lot of fun to watch, and the kids had a lot of fun too! There was a really good kid on the other team who pretty much dominated the game (in other words, he was a HUGE ball hog and even took the ball away from his own teammates). Jackson was too nice and didn't want to take the ball away from other kids, so we had to give him a pep talk and tell him, "There's no sharing in soccer!" Here are some action shots from the game:

Weight Checks, Weight Checks, Weight Checks!

Kate had to go to the doctor this week for a weight check and since Jackson was due for one too, I took them both in yesterday. Kate is now 3 weeks old and Jackson is 3 1/2 years old.

After dropping to 6 pounds 3 ounces, Kate has finally made it back up to and beyond her birth weight of 7 pounds 2 ounces! She now weighs 7 pounds 3 ounces. Yesterday was her fourth visit to the pediatrician since she was born, but now she won't need to go back until her 2-month check-up as long as everything else is going well with her.

Jackson has gained about a pound since his 3-year check-up in March. He now weighs a grand total of 26 1/2 pounds and is just over 3 feet tall! We're not worried about him though. He eats when and what he wants, just not a lot of anything. He has plenty of energy and is doing great, so I guess that's just the way he is! He is still gaining and following his own curve (around the first percentile), so the doctor isn't concerned. He'll go back for another check-up when he's four.

Sound Asleep...

I went to check on Jackson last night and this is how I found him! (That is his winter hat from 2 years ago by his face...he has been wanting to wear that to bed lately for some reason!)

Jackson loves to help!

Tug always loves to hang out with the babies (she must have at least one paw on the blanket)
