Stats and Stories

 Last Friday I had my monthly visit to the doctors. The kids sat great through everything! The baby's heart rate was 144bpm and my doctor told me I was "measuring small".  I am thinking we might have a little lady on the way. Time goes by way too fast! Hyrum stepped on the scale and weighs a whopping 22lbs and counting. He can eat so much and is catching up to his sister. He has started being interested in dolls and babies lately. I will often find him with one of Camilla's dolls clutched tightly in his little man arms, bouncing and shushing. It's pretty cute. This morning he rocked woody in the rocking chair for a good five minutes, shushing him to sleep.  I just love his chubby little boy fingers and how caring he is. He is going to be such a great big brother and I am looking forward to seeing him interact with the new baby.

The transition to the big boy bed has been fantastic. I always enjoy sneaking into the room after he's fallen asleep. One night his feet were hanging off the edge of the bed and it made me giggle. When I went to check him at nap time today I discovered that he had fallen asleep while reading. So classic. 

While he napped, Camilla and I made up a batch of cookies. They turned out pretty good, but are definitely best when eaten warm!  I think Mr. Stannix and I are going to snuggle up to a show tonight while sipping a caramel steamer and eating cookies.

While Camilla napped, Hyrum and I looked out the window at the bikes and cars and bugs. The fact that he always has shoes on makes me smile. His favorites as of late are Camilla's yellow gum boots. 

A nice full day I'd say, although my house is still a disaster...
