We went for a walk to the library and on the way back both kiddos fell asleep, and oh how precious they are! I sure love these two and what good friends I hope they will be!

The weather has been nice enough lately to venture out on walks and one of Addie's favorite places to go is to see what she calls "The Famous Waters" I'm not quite sure where she got this name but it's catchy just the same and quite fitting as well for the waters are often found to be a neon green color. Who knows why, not I said the fly. So the famous waters are just a few blocks from our house in a ritzy neighborhood. We like to walk there and look at all the grand houses of stone and brick. Addie also likes the famous waters because we play "pooh sticks" or pooh dandelions whichever is most convenient. For those of you who don't know what pooh sticks is every player has a stick and they drop it into a moving stream to see which stick will win. Oh we love the famous waters!
Here we are on a clear day at the Famous Waters.


And... here's a not so clean day, the neon green is a little eery isn't it?


This isn't the famous waters, obviously, but spring has sprung and these Magnolia Trees are just beautiful and they have them all over here so we had to get a picture on one of our walks with the flowers and Wes was a good sport letting momma hold him up to get a picture.

While trying to get Addie to put on her pajamas her and Mitch had a conversation/role play that went something like this.

Papa: "ok, let's play like we're being really kind and share the shirt with each other."
Addie: "ok"
Papa: " No, no I insist you take the shirt."
Addie: "no you have the shirt papa"
Papa: "No,no I insist you have the shirt."
Addie "no,no you have the shirt."
Papa: "Addie say 'no, no I insist'"
Addie: "No, no I'm a cyst."
At this point Mitch and I chuckle.Then Addie says.

"Now let's play like we're angry and I'll pull the shirt away from you Papa."

Little Wesley has been doing solids since he was about 4 months old to try and get some meat on his bones, but this was the first time I let him go at it and boy was it messy, but he had a great time, although hardly any food made it into his mouth.


Wesley is starting to be rolly poly and is very flexible.


Addie has been making up lots of games lately and this one she found some #10 cans and became a robot.

I finally bought a kick wheel so that I can start doing pottery again! Hooray, I'm so excited. Addie loved helping momma make pots and trying out all the tools on the clay to see what they did. Now to let the creative juices start flowing!

Wesley had his Check up this week with the regular pediatrician and everything is looking good. He is developmentally right on track, is sitting up, reaching for things, babbling and responding to people around him etc. I was a little disappointed that he hadn't gained any weight since his operation but he is healthy and happy and so I can't complain. The doctor just said he's a little guy which is probably a combo of genetics and the issues he's had with his kidneys. Hopefully with the feeding regime we've got him on he'll start packing on the pounds. The doctor said he's proportionate and still growing on his curve accept for weight, which would only concern her is he hadn't had some issues and if he looked like he was languishing or malnourished which he doesn't so that was good news.

Height: 26 in (25th percentile)
Weight: 11 lbs 14 oz ( 3rd percentile)
Head Circumference: 42 3/4cm ( 25th percentile)

Momma: "Addie do you need to use the potty?"
Addie: "No mom"
Momma: "Are you sure?"
Addie: "Yes mom, I just use the potty on Saturday." (It's Wednesday)


Momma: "No, we're not having kiddos come play today."
Addie: "Oh, maybe they can come in a little week."

When Addie prays she says "thank you for the Sabbath Day." no matter what day of the week it is.
