Guess I haven't updated on the growth and milestones. Alexandra is 4 months and at her appointment she weighed in at 13lbs 3 oz and 26 inches. 26.5 inches is the upper range for 6 month Carter body suits so really soon I am guessing we are going to move up to the 9 month size...she is just so tall! So it has been a rough month as she has gotten a runny nose and is a fussy girl, especially in the evenings but she is getting better...or maybe I am just handling it better so don't notice it as much.
She started 2 days a week 1/2 days at daycare, and it was nice to have her at school so I could actually focus on getting work done as I am teaching 3 classes right now and it is a first time for one class so it takes up more time than usual as I have to do some additional prep work.
Matthew is 2 yrs, weighing 27 lbs and 36 inches tall. He is wearing 18months close still at least pants but getting into some 24 months shirts. He takes swimming lessons on Saturday right now with a parent. Jay and I have each taken him and for the most part he really enjoys being in the water, chasing the duck and jumping into the water to us (as long as we hold his hands) but not so keen on blowing bubbles or doing anything on his back. He has another year before he is even old enough to join a real swim class and he enjoys the current class so much we have decided to continue so he keeps working on the skills he will need to move forward when he is ready. The big downside is the class is Saturdays at 11 so it kinda prevents us from doing anything fun on Saturdays...but small price to pay to ensure he doesn't develop a fear of water and can transition to swimming lessons in a year....plus it wears his butt out so he typically takes a decent nap on that Saturday.
In other news, we went to the Dr. Seuss Birthday bash at the Magic house in Kirkwood MO on 3 March. They had a big Cat in the Hat themed event and since Matt is pretty crazy about the Cat, it was a fun outing. It was super crowded but we got our picture with the Cat and spent quite a bit of time in the special auditorium where the Cat themed events were taking place and Matt was just happy to be there and watch the costumed Cat walk around and give High 5's to kids.
So that is about it, we don't have much going on in March as swim class does take a break for 2 or 3 weeks between sessions and it is still chilly here, (snowed yesterday, 5 Mar) so not much on outings, but I am sure that will change and with our break from swimming for a few weekends we can hopefully make the best of the situation and get back to the Zoo, Bird Sanctuary and other STL area kid-friendly attractions.
Pictures on facebook, will try to keep it updated, but as you can see I am well almost 2 weeks behind posting this information so bear with me as I am just a bit busy with the 2 kiddies and only having daycare part of the day and for Alexandra part of the week.
Hope to have news on a job soon for me...watch FB for updates!
