Watch Jackson and Emily Grow: July 2009

Doctor's Appointments

We have two healthy kids on our hands. Emily is 36.5 inches long and 17 lbs. 11 oz. She is off the percentile charts and is about the size of an average 50th percentile 8 month old in both height and weight. She is a happy baby!

Jackson is also a big, healthy boy. At 2 1/2 years he weighs 36 lbs 6 oz and is 38 3/4 inches tall. He is in the 97th percentile for both height and weight. The doctor loved hearing that he likes salads and carrots for dinner as much as macaroni and cheese or peanut butter and jelly.

More 4 month pics

Emily is now rolling over and enjoying her tummy time. She has figured out it is a lot more interesting to look around on her tummy than lay on her back and stare at the ceiling.

Piper and Emily

We went to the 4-H fair in Bluffton this weekend with Jamie and Charlotte and Heather and Todd and family. This is the only time I got my camera out (I am definitely slacking). Griffin, Charlotte, and Jack were napping so this pic of Emily and Piper is it for the weekend. I'll try to do better next time!

This picture accurately shows how much Emily has grown lately. They both got their diapers changed and hadn't gotten their pants back on yet. Look at the rolls on those thighs!

Happy Birthday Tim!

We had Katelyn and Stella (our college bound neice and her friend) come down and babysit the kids while we went to Tim's suprise birthday party. A good time was had by all and Jamie did a great job planning. She even hired a DJ who played only 80s music. What we didn't know is that he came complete with mullet hairdo!!

Tyler made Tim "The Fagin Slapshot" which is a hockey stick with 3 shot glasses attached to it for all 3 Fagin brothers to take a shot together. It was a big hit and by the end of the night the servers at the bar even wanted to take shots with Tyler since he made the contraption.

Here you go, Betsy! I take requests from the Hunt family about blog content. Jane wanted to see more Charlotte and Betsy just wanted to see a pic of herself. Jamie's baby bump is growing!

4 months old

Our little girl is now 4 months old. We will take her on tuesday to the doctor for her checkup and will let you know her size then. Jackson also goes for his 2 1/2 year check on tuesday. We started feeding Emily cereal last week and this was her reaction. They say that cereal helps a baby sleep, but I don't think they meant that they should fall asleep eating it.

4th of July Weekend

We went camping over the 4th and Grandma and Grandpa Blevins brought their trailer to the campground, too. Grandpa's twin brother and his wife and Lynn and Tina and family came along, too.

Jackson spent a lot of time with Grandpa.

Emily spent a lot of time with Grandma...

Our favorite addition to the campsite is a tractor tire that Dan brought for Jackson. Then the campground filled it with sand for us. He spent the majority of the weekend there when he wasn't swimming, catching frogs with Daddy, or at the park with Mommy.
