This week we took Grayson for his 9 month check up. He was fighting a virus and broke out in a rash but is much better now. He is 90% for his height and 50% for his weight. Looks like we might have a first baseman after all! He continues to put everything in his mouth. I caught him with a live spider in his hand (on the way to his mouth) last week. He is pulling up and crawling really fast. It won't be long before he's walking!
Olivia is doing great. She did start a strange thing about a week ago. I noticed that she was stuttering to get her words out at the beginning of every sentence. I was really concerned because she has never stuttered before but after talking with my speech pathologist friend Alex, she assured me that it was normal and would quickly pass. It has been better the last couple of days so I think she is getting over it already.
She was so funny this week when we went to the doctor for Grayson. She needed to go too to get her ears checked to verify that her last ear infection was gone. She insisted she take Rarr (her stuffed tiger) to the doctor to get his ears checked and we agreed. As the nurse weighed, measured and took Grayson's temperature, Olivia made sure Rarr got the full examination as well. As I was telling the Doctor Grayson's symptoms from his virus, Olivia was chiming in right after me: "and Rarr has a rash too!...And he has been really fussy!....and he has a temperature!"
It was so cute! She is quite the little Momma!
We are having lots of fun this summer. On Friday we had Michael's company picnic at the air and space mueseum. Olivia really enjoyed watching the airplane fly by. On Fridays we are having "Friday Fun Days." The kids and I get together with 5 or 6 other moms and thier kids and go to fun places like the zoo, splash park, etc. It is a great time for the kids to interact with each other and great time for the Moms too!
All of the grandparents went in with us to buy Grayson and Olivia a swingset for their birthdays. Michael started the assembly process last Saturday. We knew it would take a while so we started early to have it up in time for Olivia's birthday. He has already put in over 25 hours (with lots of help) of assembly time and the set is about 70% done. We'll post more pictures as it gets finished.
