Annistyn had her 10 week check up last week. I can't believe she is almost 3 months. This has gone by way too fast for me. She is 11lbs 5oz so she has gained 4 lbs since her 2 week check up. I was shocked I thought she was maybe 10 pds. She looks so little and we get so many comments about how tiny she still is. It turns out she's in the 90th percentile for her height and 50th percentile for her weight, so she is doing great. She's just long and lean. We're a little worried about the clarity of her vision. We may need to take her to an eye doctor if in the next week she isn't making more direct eye contact and smiling. She's starting to be awake a little more and depending on the time of day she is smiling and starting to coo. She started sleeping through the night at 9 weeks so that has been great for the momma. Too bad I'm up working crazy hours or I may actually enjoy it. She is a joy to have in our home although she is a little more high maintenance then her sisters. I love having a little baby again in our home. It's sad to think she could be the last, so I am trying to enjoy every minute of it. So be warned if you come to our house there will be dishes in the sink and yep it's a mess. She'll be big before I know it and my house can be clean again next year when she's not a baby.

Two down, one more to go

Both Rylee and Ella are officially in school. Technically Ella is just in preschool but she feels like it's pretty official. She started preschool last week and is beyond excited to be there. She is a little sponge and loves to learn. She has been pretty disappointed that she doesn't have any home work but loves to talk about her day at school. She also loves going to school cause she gets to be there with her best bud Braylon. They are so cute together! I can't wait to watch her learn and get ready for kindergarten. She is so smart already and she is such a sweet little girl!





Rylee started first grade on the 26th of July. So far she likes it and her favorite part of school is lunch! She loves her teacher and thinks she's beautiful. Rylee is something else though. She is way too much like me. On her second day of school she decided it would be cool to ignore me. When I pulled up to get her at the flag pole she was talking with some "older" boys they were maybe 8. I called for her repeatedly but she stood there tossing her hair and pretending like she couldn't see me. It took yelling her name 5 times to get her to come to my car. Basically when I pull up to get her if she is talking with friends she pretends she can't see me but if shes by herself she'll come straight to my car. On the second week of school she informed Chris that she saw an 8 year old boy in the hall and told him he was a cutie! She is a little boy crazy right now and talks about them a lot, she seems way too young for that! I can hardly wait for her to be in junior high, we're in for it!


PS. She insisted on having a back pack with wheels and was so excited to get one. It looked like she was boarding a plane on the first day when she was in line "wheeling her luggage" into school. But of course when she came home she said mom everyone loved my back pack.
