Our Birds, the Doctor and a Clothing Swap

Our baby Robins are getting bigger by the day. Today we noticed that we can see their little necks poking up from the nest, in search of more worms! The Mom (and sometimes Dad??) feeds them non-stop. It's also fun to see her fly up there with a beak full of worms, distribute them, and then fly off to get some more. Amy LOVES watching all of this. Well, we all do. It's been so much fun!

Friday morning Tyler had his 2 week check-up. Amy also got 2 more shots for school, so I made Lee come with me. There was no way I could do it with the 3 kids, knowing Amy was getting those shots. She was brave, but has reminded us since that she doesn't want to get any more. She also limps around, favoring the leg they put them in, so we laugh because she looks like a duck all the time.

So little Tyler is not so little anymore! When he was born he was 7 lbs 9 oz and 20 3/4 in long. When we left the hospital his weight was down to 7 lbs 4 oz. The day I got his jaundice rechecked, his weight was 7 lbs 6 oz. Now, not quite 2 weeks later, this boy weighs 8 lbs 8 oz!! (I actually thought the scale was wrong!) And is 22 inches long! Wowsers!! The nurse actually rechecked his height because she couldn't believe he grew that much. And gaining over a whole pound!!?? In just under 2 weeks? WOW! Now people are teasing me about my super powered whole milk. haha. He's doing great and we haven't wanted to give him back yet. :)

Later that day, Will had fun watering my porch plants.... (he's such a cutie!!)

Friday night, Amy and I went out for a little "girls night." We went to the bakery for a treat. She chose a cupcake, I got a petit four.

Then we got our nails done. I have to admit- doing this "girly" stuff with your daughter is SO much fun!!! (and she thought getting her nails painted was waaaay fun!)

On Saturday, Granny came. She drove this time and said the drive was pretty good. The kids have had a ball playing with her. Today, I overheard Amy teaching her how to play "Thumb War." (thanks to my mom!) Then Amy taught her how to play rock, paper, scissors, lizard, spock. I was shocked when she actually remembered most of what beats what. Lee was a proud papa, listening in from the other room.

Last night I got to go out for a girls night. My friend, Talana, hosted a clothing swap. Throughout the week we all brought stuff and the night of we looked around and put stickers on the things we wanted. It was mostly clothing, but also housewares, books and jewelry. I didn't really need anything (though, I got rid of a ton!) so I picked up a few gardening magazines, some earrings and a dress. I didn't get a picture of me- I got distracted by all the fun we were having. I know I sound like a broken record by now, but I just love these ladies!!

That's all we've been up to this weekend. Sherlock (on pbs) started back tonight and that was fun to watch. You've gotta love PBS/BBC tv shows! (Downton Abbey was another that we loved) Here's to a great week!
