4 month checkup

Colin had his 4 month checkup today! He is a growing boy at 16 pounds in the 80th percentile and 24-25 inches the 50th percentile. He was noted for being very active and super strong. He even rolled over to show off for his new doctor!

 

He is so happy that we got the green light to start cereal once a day!

He is loving his exersaucer and a new perspective. He was not quite as happy to get 3 shots but he has napped all afternoon. Hopefully he will be his happy self when he wakes up! Happy for a great checkup.

Splash park

We went to the splash park and Kaitlin had so much fun! I was not sure how she would do but she had a great time. She did get cold after almost an hour and a half and requested an coat she was soooooo cold! We got warmed up and had a wonderful nap!

Zoo fun

Didi and Rachel went to the zoo with us last week and we had a great time! Kaitlin really wanted to go to the petting zoo so we headed there first. Kaitlin thought it was a sitting zoo!

It was a hot day but everyone was a trooper and we got to see about half of the zoo. The Columbus Zoo is so big that we have never seen all the animals in one day.
 
 
Kaitlin was so excited to see a dragon!
It was nice going on a weekday because the crowd was very light and Kaitlin did so many things that usually have a long wait on the weekends.

Kaitlin got to pet a sea star at the aquarium and even was brave enough to pet a snake! She is still talking about the snake and says " he was so cute"!
 
We also got to see river otters that are still a topic of conversation and some beautiful bald eagles!
We had a great day and it was even more fun with Rachel and Didi!

 

4th of July

It was so wonderful having Rachel and Didi here for the great power outage of 2012! We also got to celebrate July 4th with them. We had a great day of being together!
 
We did some shopping at the mall, Kaitlin played at the playground and we did some exploring in Ohio!
It may not have been the most exciting 4th of July but it is one we will never forget! We were on day 4 of the power outage and we were all living in a hotel. Not exactly what they bargained for but they were such great help and support!
 
 

They even let Kory and I go on a date which was a great way to end a wonderful day!
