Big Baby Girl!

It was shot day!! Lauren had her 6 month well baby checkup today...a little late since our pediatrician was on maternity leave. We are glad she is back!! We love our doctor!

Here are Lauren's latest numbers:

19 lbs, 13 oz - 95th %tile
28 1/4 inches long - 100th %tile!!!
17 inch head - 75th %tile

So, she is fat, super long and has a bigger than average but small in proportion to her body head!! I love her just the same!! =) ***I just went and looked and I was very close in my predictions on a post from last week...I said she would be 20 lbs and 28 inches!!***

The doctor said she looks great! She said that some breast fed babies are just big and some are tiny...well, let me tell ya...mine are not tiny by any stretch of the word!! =) I love my chubby babies!! She is doing everything she is supposed to.

I made a deal with Lauren...I told her that if she was good while getting shots that Mommy would go get some too. So, I went to the hospital (after Hobby Lobby) and got my flu shot and my TDaP shot that I should have gotten before but didn't. I think I am the baby here!!! That stuff hurts!!! Both of my arms are SORE!

Everything here is good....just another busy week ahead! Something I am super excited about.....I GET TO GO TO THE COWBOYS' GAME A WEEK FROM TODAY!!!! YIPPEE!!!

Til next time..

I have always wondered if any baby was actually in the 100th %tile! I always hear 90th or 95th, but never 100. Now I know!

Rachel was always "off the charts" meaning PAST the 100th for weight...starting at 9 months! It wasn't a proud moment for me...let me just say....

Friends...Forever!

What is a friend?  Webster defines a friend as: a person whom one knows, likes, and trusts. It goes on to talk about a friend being a supporter.  I would have the tendency to assume that everyone has at least one friend...maybe not a best friend or perhaps maybe not even a close friend but someone that they can call a friend.  I know that difference personality types lend themselves for more friends than others.  I am a sanguine which means that I have a lot of people that I consider to be my friend.  I have always been the type of person that needs and wants friends...people around me who love me, encourage me, and support me.  On the flip side of this, I have always had a hard time trusting people so I tend to be skeptical of people.  Unfortunately, a friend described me pretty accurately this morning.  She said that I (and she is the same way) have the tendency to dislike people until I have a reason to like them.  No, not proud of it...but I am just skeptical.  I have been hurt

Replace My Complaining Attitude

If you know anything about me, you know that I am blunt.  I am straight-forward, to the point, and to a fault, honest.  This is something that I have often wanted to change about myself.  Let's face it, there are things about each one of us that we would change, and let me be clear, there are MANY other things I would change but becoming more gentle has always been something I have longed for. I have had people tell me that I should be proud of this.  They wish they could be more assertive like me.  I guess there are good points to this type of characteristic but more times than not, I find myself getting into trouble because of it.   Piggy-backing on that character istic  flaw is the fact that I am a complainer.  I would rather whisper that but again, if you know me, you probably didn't fall in the floor in disbelief that I just typed that.  It is hard to admit.  It is hard to tell a world (okay a few people) that read this that I complain.  How off-putting is that?  I g

FUN STUFF!!

We have had a fun couple of days! I worked on July 4th and Rachel and Daddy stayed home doing nothing...I think they enjoyed it! Saturday was pretty uneventful.....we went to Target and bought some containers so that I could put all of my clothes away that are TOO BIG!!! YAY!! It was also a sneaky way to allow my husband to see that I really don't have too many clothes!!! None of them fit! =) Sunday was church and we came back here and relaxed all day. Here is a picture of Rachel from Sunday. Rachel's dress was adorable....went to her ankles.... Brice had yesterday off too so we all went to Hawaiian Falls waterpark in Mansfield for a little water fun after Rachel's nap. It was a lot of fun except for the part where I fell down the stairs leading into the lazy river and in an attempt to keep my child's head above water (I was holding her), I tumbled down about 4 stairs, twisted my ankle, hit my knee, and scraped up the side of my leg all while swallowing a lot of water.
