The kids had their Well Baby check ups yesterday. Nathan had his 3 year old appt and Kendall had her 4mth old appt and shots.

Stats: (so I've apparently misplaced the paper they gave me...but I'm almost positive these are the stats)Nathan: 45 inches tall = 88th percentile
             33lbs= 60th percentile
Nathan makes us laugh all day long. He says the most hilarious things.
He loves to talk about poop. For me, that's not so hilarious...he totally gets it from his dad!
Loves to exercise with us and run laps around the block. I need to get him into some active things this winter since we'll be stuck inside a lot. I'm thinking Lil' Kickers or swim lessons.
Loves his cousins Kelsie and Maggie. All his stories involve them...he even tells me that he has dreams with them in it. Wish they lived closer.
Is such a good big brother. He ALWAYS tells Kendall that he loves her, kisses her, hugs her, tells her "sweet dreams" in his precious soft voice, and "good morning Kenny B" every morning.
He tells us that he loves us at least a dozen times a day. It NEVER GETS OLD!

Kendall:  25 3/4 inches= 90th percentile
               15.2 lbs= 66th percentile
She's my big girl!!! Still doesn't sleep through the night but I got a couple of three hour stretches out of her and it feels great. She is also in her crib in her own room now. Maybe that will help her sleep longer. She started rolling from back to tummy a couple weeks ago and I'm pretty sure she'll scoot or crawl really soon. She puts her but up and her knees down...all she has to do is figure out her upper body!
We still swaddle her at night. We've proven to ourselves over and over that it still helps her sleep better.
She is eating rice cereal. She does pretty well with it. I'm going to introduce her to some veggies in the next couple weeks.
She coos, smiles, and giggles all the time. Is already very aware of when I'm in the room or not. Her nickname is Kenny B (well, Nathan and I call her that!) or Kendall Roo.

In other news:
I'm totally looking forward to Fall! I love it! Some things are tainted however...last Fall I was pregnant in my 1st trimester...so some smells will forever bring back that morning sickness memory! But it can't ruin my love for this season! Pumpkin patching, peppermint mocha coffee creamer, Fall colors, rainy days cozied up inside, football, HOLIDAYS, Christmas movies and music (which Nathan has already asked for! He loves this time of year as much as I do!), yummy comfort food, and I could go on and on!
I also LOVE having our own home! DUH! It is so nice to come home after a long day or time out and about. We have worked really hard to make our home comfortable and cozy and I would say we are doing a good job! We still have projects but that's alright and I really need some home decor for the walls. We are in the process of painting Kendall's room and organization is an ongoing process. I'm hoping that once vb season is over, I'll start really going to town on all of that!
Cass starts his graveyard shift on Sunday. I think there will be an adjustment period but also think it is going to work out for us! He'll be here most weekdays to be with the kids while I'm at volleyball and he's home until just about the time kids go to bed. He has worked so hard to make life for us more comfortable and we are so proud of him!!!
