Chunky baby

Eliza had her 4 month check up this morning. She was actually 4 1/2 months by the time her appointment rolled around. The results are in: We have a chunky baby! She is 18 pounds, 27 inches long, and her head circumference is 17 inches. That put her above the 95%. She is by far the biggest baby we have had. I guess all those pounds help her to sleep through the night, so she can be as roly poly as she wants!!! Check out them thighs!!! And, the band aids. She didn't get away without getting her shots, of course!
Yesterday, the kids and I had our cleanings at the dentist. No cavities! Eliza and Zachy were awesome the entire time. It was pouring down cold rain all morning, but the kids were troopers. We also had to go to Costco to get ink so Beau could print homework. I felt bad for taking the kids out in the cold rain, so to make it up to them, we ate lunch at Chick Fil-A. YUMMY! In the kids' meal, their toy was a shovel. Everett couldn't wait to dig with it. He slept with it last night, and came into my room at 6am this morning fully dressed, shovel in hand, and asked if he could go outside and dig in the dirt. He had even made his bed without being asked! He was serious about digging!! After Eliza's appointment, I let him have at it. He had a lot fun, and was covered in mud. Such a boy!

I am a bad mom. See how close he is playing to the street? In my defense, it is a back street for residents, and not a thru street. :)

Oh Eliza is a chunk, so cute!! That is great she is sleeping through the night! How are you guys liking it out there on the east coast? It looks like we might be stationed at D.C. next?
