Well, we survived the wedding. Now the bride and groom are off on their honeymoon and we are doggie-sitting. Note to aunt holly and uncle reggie-if I go down to the basement and catch the dog lounging on my couch again, she just might return to you stuffed.....

But at least she didn't pee on it :)

Ellie had fun seeing her minnesota family. She doesn't get to see them too often. We are very tired after the weekend, and are really just trying to get caught back up with things.

Kailey went for her four month checkup today. Now, you all know my baby is fluffy. I see all our dear friends, and their struggles with growing. Precious Olivia, who defied odds, born at 23 weeks and is now finally growing and gaining weight. Little Skyler, destined for the same food allergies that keeps his brother so tiny, still struggling to fatten up. My man Parker, at one year, is 19 pounds, from a 4 pound little peanut. And then there is my baby. Who, at this rate, will outgrow her carseat at christmas.

She is 15 pounds and 25 inches long. So not quite as fluffy as I'd thought she would be. But relatively so. She is growing just fine, and is a happy, healthy baby. I don't worry. Ellie packed on the pounds in her first 6 months as well. She was about 22 lbs at a year, and is 35 at 4 1/2. So I doubt Kailey will keep up her current growth streak. Although she does appear to be on an eating binge this week.

One last note-today is National Pregnancy/Infant Loss Rememberence day. Please visit Olivia's blog, and remember her sweet brother Logan, and all the babies who have left us too soon. And give your own babies an extra kiss tonight. I know I sure did.
