Kids Update

Ethan is now 9.5 pounds and in the 10% on the full-term baby growth chart! Dr. H was very pleased with his progress. He has also started smiling; his first one was for Anderson! He doesn't smile all that often, but when he does, we're thrilled. We have also found low-iron formula (supplement for the breastmilk), which is a huge blessing as the other was making his belly very upset. Jason had to drive to Hooksett for it and then we met him in Northwood at 10pm. It's precious stuff! Oh, and Ethan is sleeping through the night: 11-7 at least. He has also decided that he has preferences, so he no longer is the baby who doesn't cry. That's OK though!

Lyndsey is still working on the potty training. It's an uphill battle. She's very good at driving the Hot Wheels jeep, and she's back to unlimited use of her arm/shoulder. She is saying some really funny things, which makes me smile. She is a big helper with "Nefan" and loves him to pieces, literally. She also loves to laugh and fool around with Anderson.

Anderson will be finishing up daycare at the end of June. We went to a kindergarden informational meeting a week ago. I can't believe we'll have a child in school! He's very excited about it. In the meantime, he's been practicing casting (to fish with Daddy) on the back lawn and is very attentive to Ethan's physical and emotional needs. He's also attentive to Lyndsey's needs, although she doesn't always agree what they are. They have started the sibling fighting...great fun. Leader/Bossy oldest combined with Strong-willed second is a tough combo. Wait until Ethan joins the fray!
