Doctor Day

Today Kendall had his 6 month doctor visit. I can't believe that he is already 6 months. Time really seems to be going by fast with this little one compared to Kerry. Well, Kendall is certainly thriving. Both his weight and height are at the 95%tile on the growth chart. In contrast Kerry was always closer to the 5th %tile. I keep saying that Kerry is going to be our quarterback and Kendall will be our linebacker. Otherwise, Kendall is just storing up so that he can keep up with his big brother this summer. Kendall's weight today was 21# and Kerry's weight was 29#.

Kendall has been having some weezing and congestion for the past couple months. The doctor thought that he may have a milk allergy so, we are going to try a different formula for a while and see if that helps at all. Poor little guy. I know how miserable I feel when I have a cold. Maybe, this will help the whole "sleeping through the night" issue, too. However, this has been going pretty well. Last night he went to bed so well at 7:30 p.m. and didn't wake up until 5 a.m. That's my kind of baby!

Well, I better go join the boys downstairs. I hear one of our favorite shows just coming on... Elmo's World. I think it's the one about how people eat. I've only seen this one 20 times or so.

Introducing 2 Boyz

This is the introductory post for my new blog that will primarily center around the stories of my two children, Kerry 2 1/2 yrs and Kendall 6 mo. I've never been good at putting pen to paper for journaling purposes but love the idea. I find that I send a bit of time each day e-mailing and surfing the web, so I thought this would be a great way to record some of the happenings (good and bad) of the two loves of my life.

You may wonder how I could possible find time to even write a paragraph with two little boys underfoot. Well, at the moment I'm keeping one eye on them as Kerry watches tv and Kendall spreads spanish/english learning cards all over the family room floor. I will just straighten up all the toys, again, after their both in bed. Aahh! Thank God for bedtime!
Actually, this is an unusual moment of calm in my home. If I couldn't actually see the boys I would wonder what trouble they were getting into. My postings may be short depending on how much time the little guys give me to write.

I think it will be extremely fun to look back and remember the things they do and say. My husband is always telling me things that Kerry says or reminding me of things that he did months ago and I've forgotten. I can't stand that I would forget such cute moments or even the frustrating ones (that we laugh at now).

So stay tuned for the exciting and crazy antics of my 2 Boyz!
