As for me and my house, we shall serve the Lord.

My Little Giant

I went to wake my full grown son fifteen-month-old this morning for his doctor's appointment.  Which is when I found this:
I thought to myself, "Isn't he cute???"

And then I looked closer.  And saw this:

And thought, "Oh my gosh!  He's almost as long as the crib!"

So, after rubbing his back and talking to him for quite a while, I finally roused him and we headed for his 15 month checkup (you may recall that I totally forgot about Sara's 15 month checkup and had to make up quite a few vaccines--so score one for us this time!).

We wreaked havoc while we waited for the doctor.

And rearranged the furniture.

And found all of the outlets in the room.  (These are not photographed, as Mommy was otherwise occupied wrenching B's hand from the sockets.)

And then Dr. Anderson came in to check out our little guy. Dr. Anderson took a look at the measurements and at his chart and announced that Brooks is in the 80th percentile for his weight, and......the average height of a 30 month old

And in other news we'll be purchasing a separate refrigerator to store food for him in the teenage years.

He got a good report from the doctor, and here are his official fifteen month stats:

Height:  35 1/4" tall
Weight:  27 lbs, 11 oz

Family Pictures

Family pictures first thing in the morning can make us a little crazy......

 And pouty...

And cranky...

But then we remember that we're being bribed with doughnuts, so we get our act together.



















Until Brooks declares that we're "all done," and we give it up.

"Hallie Kay Kiva"

The name of our beach house this week is "Halekai Kiva," which we have adapted to "Hallie Kay Kiva."

More Fun in the Pool




Pizza Dinner








Uncle Ted treated us to pizza on Tuesday night, and I'm fairly certain my girls ate as much as the grown-ups.
