Before I Forget...

Pictures from a recent bath night. We've totally got this bath thing figured out, as it is normally me by myself with both kids doing baths while Daddy is at work. Bathe together, then Morgan gets lotion and clothes while Tessa continues to play. Then Tessa's turn while Morgan plays in the exersaucer. I'm sure it will all change once Morgan becomes mobile...
Tessa being silly after her bath!
And more silliness!
And before I forget...drumroll please~

Nine Month Stats for Morgan:
29.5 inches (85%) and 20 lb. 14 oz. (50%) Long and lean!

Three Year Stats for Tessa:
38.5 inches (87%) and 36 pounds (88%) Very consistent. I like that. :)

We had a great 3-year and 9-month checkup, respectively, this afternoon. I was glad Daddy was able to join us, as rumor had it the 3-year checkup involved wearing a gown and we already have issues with the doctor in general with Miss Tessa. Ironically, the one thing I feared the most was the one thing she loved! Tessa was eager to get in the gown and didn't want to take it off at the end. Who would have thought?

Morgan had a great time ripping the exam table paper into shreds. Tessa got an A+ from the doc for development, and while he didn't grade Morgan, I'm going to assign him an A-. Apparently he should be waving bye bye now. Well, he doesn't but it's not due to lack of ability. It's due to lack of Mommy teaching Morgan to wave bye bye. Whoops! It is now on my to-do list for the week. Our doctor was not worried about him not crawling yet because he said it is not a matter of not having the strength to do it, more so the motivation of him wanting to do it. All in good time. For now, we'll work on bye bye...

I remember when we all very anxious to teach Tessa to wave. I guess you are a lot busier now! But if I know you he will be waving by the end of the week. Tessa can teach him.
Nice to hear they both had good check-ups!
