Happy 4 month birthday, Kason!!

Kason turned 4 months old today. It honestly feels like it was only yesterday that he was born. I can't believe how fast he (and Kenley) is growing up! I took him to the doctor on Friday for his 4 month well visit. He got 2 shots, but did really well. He only cried for a minute and then he was all good once his momma picked him up. He weighed in at 13 pounds, 7 oz and was 24 inches. Both height and weight were in the 25th percentile. He really is such a little peanut! I have friends who's babies weigh more than him when they were only 2 months old! He's healthy as a horse though and that's all that matters. We also got the green light for starting solids. We are going to start rice cereal in the next couple of days because he is really starting to show an interest in food. Then we'll move on to veggies, then fruits! That should make for some great pictures!

1. I can't believe it's only Tuesday!!

2. I am so happy that Justin is finished with two-a-day football practices. We haven't hardly seen him for the past week! We did, however, spend the whole day on Sunday together and that was really nice.

3. We went to the Green and Gold game on Friday night and got rained on. It was no fun! Kenley thought she was 'big stuff' since she got to go onto the field with Justin while he was coaching. I tried to get a picture of her on the field, but I was too far away!

4. We are getting the students back this week. It's kind of strange, but nice, to see students on campus again. It's always so quiet over the summer and the other breaks.

{{ Thanksgiving 2007 ~ Just turned 2}}

10 on Tuesday

1. I had a great time at Allyson's bridal luncheon on Saturday! It was fun to hang out with the girls and drink some wine!!!

2. Kenley had a wonderful time at the STL City Museum. She talked about all of the things she did there for days! My mom said that they place was awesome. They were there from about 11-8 and still didn't see it all! Kenley didn't get home until after 10pm!

3. I'm tired. SO, so tired! I need to go to bed early, but I just don't see that happening.

4. Football started yesterday.....back to being a football widow!

5. Because of #4, I have seen Justin for all of 20 minutes in the last 2 days. I doubt I see him tonight either. :(

6. Just got Kenley signed up for dance! I'm SO excited to see her get these lessons. The girl loves music and loves to dance. I bet she'll be great at it!

7. Over the weekend I had Justin get on the scale with Kason to see how much he weighs. I know that this isn't the most accurate, but it gives us an idea. He weighed 12.5 pounds!

8. I am loosing hair in clumps. I guess it's normal after giving birth, but JEEZ LOUISE! I'm going to be bald if it doesn't let up soon!

9. Justin and I went to the mall on Saturday because he wanted to get some new clothes and shoes for school. Kenley was with my mom at the City Museum all day, so it was a perfect day to go. Justin was so nice that he bought me a new pair of jeans and a shirt! Thanks again, Justin!

10. Is it Friday yet? I feel like I say that every week! How is it that the weekends fly by and the weekdays drag on forever?

Since today is Tito's 3rd birthday....a few from when he was a puppy!

10 on Tuesday

1. Kenley just ran right into the door knob in the hallway. She hit right on her temple. She was running back to her bedroom and she doesn't ever watch where she's going. I see MANY more ER visits in that girls future!

2. We are going to try something new tonight with Kason. He's been sleeping through the night for over 6 weeks but has recently started to wake up around 4am. He usually doesn't want to eat, he's just awake. I'm going to try to put him down for bed earlier than I have been. I know it seems backwards, but I know from experience that sleep begets sleep. I'll let you know if it worked!

3. We had plans to go to the City Museum in St. Louis on Saturday, but I am not going to be able to go. I will be attending the Bridal Luncheon for my BFF Allyson on Saturday! Kenley will still be going with my mom and Debbie, and Kylie & Maddie. They are going to have a great time without me!

4. I started tanning this week. I need to get some color on my PALE skin before Allyson's wedding. I haven't been tanning for years!

5. Tomorrow is my friend, Micah, birthday! Happy early birthday, Micah!

6. Tomorrow is also my dog, Tito, birthday. Happy 3rd birthday, Tito!!

7. My workouts are going great. I really love the 10 Minute Trainer videos!

8. I got Kenley signed up for dance, FINALLY! I have been on the waiting list for a year now! She's going to start the first part of September. I'm so excited and so is Kenley!

9. Is it Friday yet?

10. Just starts football 2-a-days on Monday....It's officially time to be a 'football widow' again :( I know he is looking forward to the season starting though. Kenley is really excited to go to the football games again too!
