Physicals and Sunshine

Posted in PhotoBlogging
We've gotten a little behind on getting physicals for the children. I wanted to get them all in before the baby gets here (I'm 28 weeks along now!) as life is just going to get crazier... in a good way. A *really* good way. I'm getting very eager for her arrival.

Anyway. So I've had all 5 children scheduled for physicals this month. When I called and was scheduling Gabe's appointment, they asked when he was in last & I thought sometime early last year. Well, they checked and he hasn't been to the doctor since 2006! Oops! He did see his eye doctor though. So it was definitely time to get them in. The girls went in last week and today I took Josiah & Alek. Gabe goes in towards the end of this month.

Here are the stats so far on their percentiles:

                   Height               Weight
Alek            75-90th               50th
Gracie         50th                     25th     (this has been her norm since she was born practically!)
Emilia         50th                     50th
Josiah         25th                     50th     (his height percentile surprised me but Dr. said last time he was in the 10th percentile for height!)

So far, everything's checking out okay with everyone. Healthy children.

It was actually WARM in the van on the way home from the doctor's office. We actually had the VENT turned on to cool! Both boys said they wanted to play outside as soon as their feet hit the ground and the rest of the siblings joined them.... and their mom followed them around with her camera. ;) It was a beautiful day. You can definitely see signs of spring around town- grass is getting greener and thicker, the trees are starting to blossom... ah, a change in the weather will be nice.

So here are some snaps from today. I LOVE this one of Gabe- probably because he RARELY lets me take pics of him- but I just love it!


Nooshie (awful composition, I know):


Millie was Miss Take-A-Picture-Of-Me today. I got a ton of her, but this was my fave:


From that to this in 4.2 seconds:


Alek swinging:

Alek?? not sure what he's looking at:


Sisters:


Gracie:

And because my husband reads my blog sometimes and will wonder why I have a pic of Nooshie and not Ceph, here you go honey. Here's your big, bad, black dawg.


Edited to add:
And for my first commenter (I don't know who you are- you didn't sign in or sign your name!), here are two of Josiah (I just thought I'd posted an awful lot of pictures of him lately. ;)

Can you just hear the airplane noises he was making?


And Josiah swinging. Fiercely.

Busy week coming up for us!

Your pictures are always so amazing. You "capture" things so wonderfully. I wish I could do the capturing more - I take lots of pictures but use a reg. digital camera. I still get ones here and then that I love but I always love the kids in them. Your photos just have such an artistic look!
Glad the kids are healthy! Can't wait to see photos of your #5! :)

P.S. If your kids are into Webkinz- stop by my blog on Wed.

First - WOW Bucephelas (sp??) Is getting HUGE :o)
Secondly - adorable pictures. They are all really beautiful but I love the sisters one. I love how Gracie's hair almost looks magical.
Thirdly - I used to think Danya and Millie were so much alike but I think it was just age.... now I KNOW Millie and Libby were twins seperated at birth LOL. Isn't it amazing how they can go from the happiest kid in the world to the biggest fit known to man in mere seconds (and back even!)
Crazy kids.
Love April

Thanks so much, ladies!

SchoolinRhome- my older 2 boys just recently got into Webkinz!

April- LOL! You are so funny- okay, we really need to get ALL of our children together sometime. You need to come by for another visit and bring the fam! I have to meet your little firecracker! :)

Lisa- I have a HORRIBLE memory, so I'm hoping I emailed you about the camera. If not, I have the Canon 40D.

Love, Alyssa
