Hair Styling, Reading, and Ice Cream Eating

Jake had a doctors appointment today for his reflux.

He weighs 14 lbs 14 oz and is 25 in. long.

He is one big boy.

We are hoping the increase in his medicine will help him nurse better so mommy doesn't go crazy.

Maybe he will sleep better during the day too.

Here's to hoping!

Ali has been more and more interested in her hair

and having pony tails.

Here she was fixing her hair with a mirror.

But then,

she decided to try and give Daddy a pony tail.

Ali has also been doing the Summer Reading Program with the local library.

If we read 10 books to her each week she gets a prize.

She has always loved to read, but she loves to go to the library now too.

She loves to put the books in the dropbox.

One week she got a free vanilla ice cream cone from Sonic.

It was a mess. :)

She has also learned to strap her baby doll in Jake's car seat.

She was pretty proud of herself.

Ali is talking more and more.

I'm grateful Adam and I use good language because Ali is repeating a lot of things we say, like:

"Oh gosh!" (She says this for anything really because everything is shocking to her)

"Pretty please" (but it sounds like "plitty please")

"I'm coming!"

"Good morning" (at all hours of the day)

"I told you to stop."

"Remember? Remember?"

"Look at me!"

"Sweet boy" or "Hey buddy"

and

"Hey Jake!!" whenever she feels the sudden urge to see him

She keeps us on our toes, but she sure is sweet.
