Wow. I didn't realize how long it's been since I posted until I downloaded a few, and I mean few pictures to put on. Where did January go?! I can say we were very, very busy with all the after-holiday settling into a routine. Lessons, school, projects, parent teacher conferences, New Beginnings, Scout cake auctions, well-checks, eye exams, etc. Unfortunately, not many of those are picture-worthy. Here's a quick summary of Amelia and Cooper's check-ups though:
Amelia: 20% in height and weight.
EXCELLING in school, ballet, and violin.
Braces will be on another 6-9 months, but she's progressing well.
She still doesn't need glasses....yet. Probably next year.
She's holding on to a little over an inch in height on Cooper.
Cooper: 90% for height and weight.
Getting better at his guitar.
Straight A's in all subjects at school.
Got new glasses, but his prescription isn't as strong because his eyes are growing along with the rest of him.
1 1/2 inches shorter than Amelia, but a shoe size bigger.
A few pictures I did get:
 |
| Our Super Blue Blood Moon Eclipse. |
 |
| Amelia used her Christmas gift card to get highlights for the first time. They look really cute! I'll try to get a picture of her with her curls. |
 |
| She always has the hairdresser straighten her hair because it's so hard and time-consuming we don't do it during the week usually. |
 |
| Amelia working on her driving. LESS THAN A YEAR people. She'll be behind the wheel! |
 |
| We also visited family a lot. We had a new member of the family--a chocolate lab named Clyde. Cooper was in heaven! |
 |
| We also had Valentine's Day. Cooper's can for the valentines was a toilet. He giggled all day long. |
For the long weekend we went the movie Greatest Showman, and I have to admit--I wasn't really thrilled about going, but it ended up being a really good show! Of course, having the star be Hugh Jackman didn't hurt! Onto March and allllll the craziness of birthdays. Amelia will be FOURTEEN and Cooper will be ELEVEN. Can you believe it?!
