Well, I was a couple months late for the appointment, but I am very proud of my kids, who LOVED going to the doctor and answering all her questions. According to the doc, they are very healthy and smart. Which mother in the world doesn't love to hear that? Eli is around the 50th percentile for height and weight, and apparently Evie is a tall drink of water--75th percentile for weight and 90th percentile for height. I hate to admit that I was excited about that and my thoughts immediately went to volleyball.
As for the interests I am seeing grow at home, they have evolved, a little. Bugs are STILL Eli's passion, as is all of nature. He wakes up and wants to go see the flowers blooming on the cherry tree and says things like, "A bee just pollenated that flower!" He is also very into running and ridiing his bike now. I was amazed on our last hike when instead of stopping to observe every black speck (potential bug) along the path, he actually wanted to sprint all the way to the top. What a fun change that was, leaving Pat and Evie behind us to follow him eagerly running up the mountain.
And Evie still goes absolutely nuts over babies. A boy named Micah at swimming is her favorite, and she has a very loving, gentle way with him. She also is showing some athleticism as she has really taken to swimming. She can backstroke the entire length of the pool now, and she loves it. I'll try not to push her, but oh would it be fun to watch her play VB someday--especially if she is blessed with the height I was always hoping for.
