Growth Stats

This past month Haden turned 3 and Lila turned 6 months, both of which warranted a visit to the doctor.
Haden weighs 31.5 lbs (46%) and is 3 ft 2.5 inches (69%). He is very entertaining to say the least. His imagination is always working overtime. In the car the other day, in all seriousness, he told me that monsters had taken Santa's toy sack and he had to get it back! He even mimicked the chant he claimed the monsters used, "We stole Santa's sack!" in a deep voice over and over. He and Regan use the double jogging stroller as Santa's sleigh. They load it up with toys, climb in, and sit quietly until Haden yells, "we're here!". Then they unload, run around for a couple of minutes before loading back up and repeating the scenario. This can go on for awhile. One of my favorite things to do is eavesdrop on the two of them playing! He loves dressing up as different characters and is fascinated with tools. His last request was for a jackhammer. He loves both his sisters so much!

Lila weighs 15 lbs 5.5 ounces (27%) and is 2 feet 2.25 inches (58%). She loves to eat anything, but baby food. The little stinker clamps her mouth down tight and refuses to open it for anything mashed up. When she does want another bite, she opens her mouth wide and makes noises until she gets what she wants. She frequently hums while she's eating. She smiles at everyone, but is still a mama's girl. Lila sits up very well by herself and loves dancing to music. I am always nervous Haden's roughhousing is going to hurt her, but she just laughs. Regan takes pride in selecting Lila's outfit, which frequently coordinates with her own. She is getting more hair, but it is still too early to tell if it is going to be curly. Lila is well loved by her siblings. She is the perfect addition to our family!
