4 yrs and 9 months

Today I took the girls to their wellness checkup with Dr Staker. 

Little Cooper is 17.9 lbs and 26.5 inches tall. That makes her in the 25% in both category. 

Miss Dal is 35 lbs and 41.5 inches tall. Which puts her in the 50% for weight and 75% for height. She was excited when I told her she only had a half inch to grow before she could go down the water slides! 

I was really excited when the nurse said Cooper wasn't due for shots (shots+teeth=even grumpier and less sleep) but miss Dal had to get a booster shot. She was NOT happy about them. I had to lay on top of her to get her to hold still! So sad! She was screaming and there were a few REAL tears, but she  hot her favorite mcDonalds yogurt parfait so I guess it wasn't so bad. 

I was surprised Jo was due for shots. I guess the shots she got today is what a lot of people consider their 5 yr old Kindergarten shots. So we're ready for kindergarten... In a year?! Really that soon? 

Birds, birds, birds!

9 months old baby!

Just this month Cooper has grown and changed the most. She's become very... VERY active! She thinks she needs to be right in the middle of what Jo is doing which usually results in her sister picking her up and moving her across the room where she couldn't get the toys. But...this month she learns a few new tricks!

Cooper at 9 months:

- Has learned to swim/army crawl every where! She is pretty quick too, especially if she is mad or after Jo's toys.

- She learned how to sit up from her belly and can pull herself up in her bed and almost up to the couch. Not too happy about this!

- When mad she sits up, leans over so her head is between her legs resting on the floor. She's quite flexible. 

- Loves the cows, horses, and dogs as much as her sissy.

- Thinks she needs to be entertained all the time, that's why she loves to be outside and see the animals.

- Loves to eat sliced bananas in the morning, not in love with real peaches yet.

- Her little hands are as quick as ever! We went to dinner with our fisher grandparents and she had her hand in gpa's drink, stole his straw, finger printed his glasses and slobbered all I've his hat... All before we ordered our food!

- Likes to watch her sister at tumbling, usually giggles at her.

- She went to her first county fair this week. She sat so calm during the stock show and watched her sister ride a few rides. I couldn't believe she was so good!

- She is wearing 9m to 12m clothes and is in size 3 diapers. 

- She climbs on her sisters belly and bounces like she's riding a horse.

- Dirt is her favorite treat. When I'm out in the garden she will stock her cheeks full then spit it out when we're in the house.

- Likes to blow big bubbles with her lips and say maaaa when tired. Too cute! 

- AND her biggest change this month is getting 5, (well almost) teeth in a week and half. She has three on the top; both front teeth with a cute little gab in the middle and one on the side which were followed by, one on the bottom with the second trying to come in any day. Let's just say it's been a loooooong couple weeks!

As a mother, I love seeing her conquer new milestones, but a piece of me just wants her to stay little and just snuggle! Our snuggle bug has turned into our wiggly snake!

Love you Roser!
