Mothers Day in Indy

My Mothers Day weekend was wonderful! The boys worked in the yard helping Grammie with her landscaping while I rested. Patrick quenched his thirst in Grammie's pond -- nice. We left for Indy on Friday and detoured in Edinburgh for lunch and I did some shopping while Brian pushed the kids around the outlet mall. On Saturday, my Mom, sisters, and cousins had pedicures and a nice, relaxing lunch. Sunday morning Brian and my Dad made a big breakfast while Mom and I lounged over coffee and the Sunday paper. Lucy maybe gave me the best gift of all -- she started going all night without requiring a night feeding -- 7 pm to 7 am! Yea for Lucy! Thank you!!!

Patricks' bday in Indy

We celebrated Patrick's 2nd birthday up in Indy last weekend because my siblings are not going to be able to make it down here on Memorial Day weekend. He was absolutely GIDDY when when started singing and Brian carried out his cupcake with the number 2 candle on top. He just smiled and laughed and looked at us with such a look of joy -- it was so fun to see. He blew out his candle after a few attempts and thoroughly enjoyed the dessert! On to the presents-- the first gift he opened from Grammie and Papa was a John Deere semi with a tractor on the trailer-- and he was thrilled, to say the least. He almost was too distracted to open the rest of his presents, including some garden tools (refer to the shovel in the earlier post) and bubbles.

Check ups!

Both the kids had check ups this morning--Patrick's 2 yrs and Lucy's 4 mo (which is more like a 5 mo). Patrick is 30 lbs and 35" tall. Again, the size of a 3 yr old. Dr. Goldman commented on how healthy he has been, knock on wood. And how he looks exactly like his father, which is not news to us. Lucy is 16 lbs and 26.25" tall. Surprisingly, 3 lbs less than her brother at this age -- yikes! All happy and healthy from our scare in February. Of course, both kids are in the 95th percentile overall (oh, sorry Lucy, only the 90th for your weight--what a little waif :)

She did it!

We were so proud of Lucy this morning when she finally rolled from her belly to her back! She has been trying all week long. Patrick was absolutely giddy, laughing and clapping for her. I think Lucy surprised and pleased herself, she knew that she did something very important. Before we know it, she will be crawling and then walking and then chasing her brother. She just loves watching Patrick, he is the most interesting part of her day. Both kids have check ups next week, Patrick's 2 yr and Lucy's 5 month (we're a little behind from her illness in February).
