My kids sure grow like weeds.  I've kind of replaced this blog with instagram, which allows me to print photos every couple months.

Current stats...

Lainey (10 years): 56.5 inches (79%) and 77 pounds (61%)
Carson (8 years 3 months): 53.5 inches (85%) and 67 pounds (79%)
Kyle (5 years 9 months): 45.5 inches (56%) and 45 pounds (52%)

108 pounds (95%)

61 pounds (45%)

Their growth trends seem to continue on their "normal" patterns.  It will be interesting to see what happens during the teenage years.  (Erik has entered his tween stage for sure and I'm not sure I'm a huge fan of this phase. :))

Kyle at Four!

How did my baby turn FOUR already?! 

It's been a long four years to be honest.  Poor kid had an uncle die and his father leave all before turning two!  This made for a bumpy first few years of life.  I'm very happy to say we have found our groove!  He is so much happier now!  He really turned a corner when he was 3.5 years old.

He is really a FUN four year old!  He is full of spunk and life.  I really am enjoying him and glad he has another year before starting pre-k.   He loves riding his bike and zips around on a two-wheeler (no training wheels).  He goes FAST and likes to stick his feet out in the air and stand up when biking.

He loves a good joke and is quite a goofball.  He really makes me smile!

He is at daycare three days a week this year.  He does well there.  He still strongly prefers the days he gets to spend at home, but doesn't cry at drop off anymore.  (He did all last year!)

He likes to learn and knows his letters and quite a few letter sounds.  He can write his first name (and last name with guidance).  He counts fairly well, but still trips over the teens (13-19).

His best buddies are his siblings, his friend Seth (on our street), and Zaylee (buddy at daycare).

He stays in his own bed about 5 nights a week; I find him snuggled up next to me the rest of the time. (Can't say I mind.)

I'm so glad to say my grumpy toddler is now a happy, independent kiddo!  I'm VERY thankful to be his Mom.
