9 months.

Stats

17 lbs 12 oz.
27 in long
2 bottom teeth

25% on the standard growth chart. If every Dr was using the WHO breastfeeding growth chart ( like the CDC recommends) she would be in the 50% for both height and weight! That just goes to show you there are a lot of over weight babies out there. Either way she's perfect in our book.

LIFE...

Well it's official I'm a stay at home mommy. My first full week at home was very eventful. Reese was sick with an ear infection. Rylan started a new mother's day out. Raynee was busy as usual with school, dance, and gymnastics.  I did however manage to squeeze in some baking and sewing projects.

 A bath mat made out of an old pillowcase my parents got for a wedding present and a towel Joey received when he graduated high school. Both were falling apart so I gave them new life with a new purpose.
A bag/ purse for all your carrying needs. Made out of fabric on the sale table. Total cost for the bag. 0.70 cents!!
I'm loving my new full time job and am very thankful I get to be here present everyday for my kids. I thank God everyday for giving us this opportunity of a lifetime. And of course Joey for working hard and making the dough!

What's for Dinner?????

Spaghetti..... Finally a something I can cook that everyone will LOVE!!You wouldn't  believe how different our three kids are when it comes to eating.

Raynee probably the only 5 year old vegetarian. However she will eat chicken but you can't call it meat or she'll turn up her nose and start gagging. She lives on peanut butter/jelly sandwiches and milk. After weeks of trying one bite of a fruit, a vegetable, and a meat I convinced her to eat Spaghetti and suck up the long noodles.. which she loved.


Rylan LOVES to eat.. I'm pretty sure he could out eat a grown man and he only weighs 22 lbs. He will literally eat anything. If he's out back playing he's eating dirt or bugs or whatever he finds lying around. The otherday we were at Walmart and there was a half eaten chicken nugget on the ground I turn my back for a split second and there he is finishing off the nugget.  NICE!! ( if your freaking out I did dig it out of his mouth)



Reese..... Reese loves her milk and that's about it. She hates the spoon coming at her. If I cut up small pieces of fruit or vegetables she will eat them as long as she's doing it. If I try and feed her she'll seal her lips shut and turn her head. INDEPENDENT much?? Pretty sure we're going to have are hands full.

So all in all there's a limited number of things I can cook that will leave us all happy and full. Needless to say we have spaghetti alot.
