9-month stats

We had Silas & Zoe's 9-month well baby visit yesterday. Here are the stats.

SILAS:
23 pounds (82nd percentile)
30-1/2 inches (96th percentile)
46-1/2 cm head circumference

ZOE:
19-1/2 pounds (57th percentile)
28-1/2 inches (76th percentile)
46 cm head circumference

Zoe has always been a skinny little thing, so Dr. Rundquist was very impressed with her catch up. We decided to have Silas checked out by a neurologist at Children's to make sure his toe standing isn't anything to worry about. He is able to stand flat-footed, he just seems to prefer to stand on the balls of his feet. Our PT & OT have been keeping on eye on this, and combined with some stiffness in his legs there is a possibility that he has a tethered spinal cord. I'll write an update about this once we've seen a neurologist.

The well baby visit appointments are always long with two babies, but thankfully we only had to get one vaccine each this time so it wasn't too bad. We even got to pick out two board books to take home, given to every family as a part of the Reach Out and Read program! We always love adding new books to the collection :)

Silas' Blog

Well it's been a busy 3 years since I last posted! Stay tuned as we may have more posts coming now that it looks like I have a new contributor... Silas recently read a book called "Starting Your Own Blog", and now he is bound and determined for us to let him start his own blog! We convinced him that he should start out by drafting content and a posting calendar. We made templates this morning and he wrote his first "post" today!

Food Prep

We recently bought a house and moved about 20 miles outside of Boston. One of the changes that came along with a new commute and work schedule is that I have started making dinner for the kids every night, instead of just Friday-Sunday (Julia, our wonderful long-time nanny, historically fed them dinner Monday-Thursday). Derek and I still have opposite work schedules, which means that I have the kids without him 5-6 nights/week. In order to make healthy meals AND pack lunches while flying solo, at a minimum I need to have a well-stocked fridge and basic menu plan for the week. Even better is when I can get some cooking and/or food prep done on Sunday. Before I go to the gym on Sunday mornings I usually peruse some recipes in search of culinary inspiration. Today I came across a recipe that caught my eye on Budget Bytes . I was planning on hitting Trader Joe's after the gym, so I picked up the frozen roasted corn that is the cornerstone of this recipe. The first part of my foo...

Auntie Tracy's Visit

Tracy is one of my best friends, but I haven't seen her in person in two years ! This means that I hadn't met her daughter, Brynn, who turns 2 in June. I was sooooooooo excited when I found out that Tracy and Brynn would be visiting Tracy's sister, Timery this weekend. We decided to meet at Mall Tots  again so that the kids could run around and we could catch up. It's a 45 minute drive and it was a beautiful day, so the kids were hunkered down with sunglasses, snack and stuffed animals on the ride up. Zoe and Brynn initially got acquainted in the bouncy house, And then Zoe pushed her around in a car.   Of course my kids (and husband!) had plenty of distraction with the video games too. We packed up the kids and then had lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings before heading back home. Timery and Tracy are like sisters to me. What a fantastic day!!!
