Growing pains and celebrations

The growing and pain (shots)

This week started out with Garrett's 2 month check-up.

He's doing very well for having been a preemie.

He started out at 6 lbs 10 oz and 19 in. long.

He is currently 11 pounds and 22 in!

He also has a 16 in head circumference.

He had a bit of a hard time after his appointment as he got his first 3 shots :_( It was also a very warm day so I stripped him down to just a diaper and let him have a little tummy time. Seemed to do the trick to comfort him.

Summer Heat Wave

We've had a bit of hot weather in the last week. Every day the kids put on their suits and played with the garden hose sprayer. It has multiple settings so it's fun. They'd get chilled and run and sit on the hot driveway. They are busy but we are having some fun.

Balmy Birthday Forecast

After many sunny days... this is the first time a possible thundershower was forecasted. Didn't materialize. It turned out to be a lovely evening to celebrate.

Hayden's Birthday Dinner

The restaurant was the Bombay Cricket Club Restaurant. He was wanting to eat Indian food and this place had some good reviews. It's only open for dinner and it's not a huge place so reservations are a good idea, though we got there just as they were opening for the day and there was plenty of room. The food was YUMMY!

Sweet Sixteen!

Hayden is a good guy and sweet is a word that would be used to describe him.

After dinner we came home to open presents and have cake on the porch. Hayden is now bigger than his dad so we have only one boy (Cam) left in the house. They will be spending more time at their computers in a couple of weeks as school starts on August 31st. (I'm sure they don't want to be reminded of that!)

The summer has flown by so quickly. I'm glad I've been able to photo journal some of the activities with this blog. We have one more birthday to celebrate this month when Danika turns 3 on the 29th.

I'll be looking forward to having a little nip in the air and drinking hot coffee on the porch.
