. That we could do without!
Leah went to the doctor today for her 3 week check up. She is in the 10th percentile for growth. What that means is that, even though she was premature, she has already reached what is considered a normal size for a full term baby. Her big goal was to reach her birth weight by this appointment. To accomplish that, she would need to at least weigh 5 pounds 8 ounces, but she actually weighed 6 pounds 14 ounces! Go Leah! And she had grown another inch!
The doctor was also very impressed when I told her that Leah can already lift her head and turn it to the other side, when she is laying on her tummy. The doctor said she is young to already be able to do that. The doctor said she was really happy with where Leah was at both physically and developmentally.
I wish all of you could listen to Isaiah talk. I can’t remember all the cute things he says all day long, but he keeps us laughing! He has started the sweetest thing. He’ll randomly say, “I lub you, Daddy. I lub you, Mommy.” Can’t complain about that!
Chris usually takes Isaiah to church with him and I come later with Leah. When they are leaving, Isaiah says, “I go to church, Mommy! Baby, I go to church!” Then he starts saying “bye” to all of us, including Chester, his train track, and any other random toys he spots on his way out the door.
He got a new pair of shoes… little white canvas “Converse” style ones. He wore them to church one night and the next morning, he wanted to wear them outside. If he wore them outside they would no longer be white… they’d be brown. So I told him that those shoes were only for church. He started begging to go to church, just so he could wear those new shoes!
Chris and I had our 4 year anniversary last Thursday. We have a problem when it comes to holidays, because Chris sets the budget and then totally ignores it and spoils me. But I have to stick to the budget. It’s not right! But hey, I don’t REALLY mind being spoiled 
. He got me a really fun sweater and necklace, a cute diaper bag I wanted, the new Leigh Nash CD, 2 dozen roses, and an awesome winter dress coat. The coat is dark brown tweed with touch of gold woven into it! Of course I’ll only get to wear it a few days out of the year, here in Cali, but it’d be great for any trips to San Francisco we take this winter. For that matter, any trips to San Francisco we take any season, since Mark Twain said the coldest winter he ever experienced was a summer in San Francisco.
