The kids had their check ups this morning. Brodie had his 2 year and Naomi had her (what was supposed to be 9 month) 10 month.
Both kids are doing great, both are healthy and happy! They're growing like weeds, that's for sure!
He was impressed with Naomi trying to walk to keep up with her big brother :) And impressed that Brodie can draw a face--head with eyes, nose, and mouth; and that he can draw a sun! :) He said that they usually ask kids around 3 years if they can even draw a circle so him being able to do all that is very advanced. :) Then he asked who between Ben and I were the artist...Me, of course ;) I was very artistic when I was younger & now sometimes too, when I have time that is. :)
Brodie's stats:
35 3/4" tall--75th percentile
34 1/2 #--92nd percentile
Naomi's stats:
29 1/4" tall--80th percentile
22 #--80th percentile
18" head circumference--90th percentile
They were kinda concerned about Brodie's weight, but said its not too big of a concern because he doesn't look like he's overweight or anything. He's just a dense kid. He is very active. It's nothing to worry about, he's just a growing boy! :)
But both kids are doing extremely well and growing big and strong! I can't wait for Naomi to be walking only. That's going to be really fun times! :)
They're happy and healthy kids. :)

So many updates!
We have been so busy I haven't had a chance to update since we had our family pictures taken!
Ben and I went on vacation to Vegas for a week, so the kids spent a week in Ellsworth with Nana & Grandpa and got to spend time with all the family back in Ellsworth & Salina.
Our vacation was great! It was very nice to reconnect with each other and not be Mommy & Daddy but be Husband & Wife :) But, we did miss our babies SO much!
We were SO SO excited to see them the weekend we were picking them up. I was getting so anxious when we'd get closer and closer to Salina & Ellsworth.
The kids had a great time, but when we finally got back home I'm sure they were glad to be back! The first few nights and days weren't very good. haha, they were off routine and Brodie thought that it was his way or no way. We had to tell him several times that he cannot have his way. By the end of last week both kids were FINALLY getting back on schedule.
So everything is pretty much back to normal. :) Which is very nice.
**************************************
This past weekend was Father's Day!! We did exactly what Ben wanted to do, which was return a couple things at Wal-Mart and then go grocery shopping.
Sunday evening I made our dinner--pasta with sausage, green beans, garlic bread, and salad with avocados and green peppers. YUM! :) It's what Ben wanted so he got it!
His Father's Day gift was a new set of kitchen knives, Ginsu! They cut SO well too! He is a fan of his gift :)
**************************************
The kids will be spending another week with Nana & Grandpa the beginning of July. The daycare will be closed, as she's going on vacation. So I'm sure everyone back there will enjoy seeing them again.
Then that second weekend in July Naomi is going to be baptized! :)
*************************************
Speaking of Naomi, she is ALMOST walking! She will take a few steps then plop right down on the floor. She's trying at least! She also has six teeth now! We feed her table foods now, no more baby food! She's also getting so big!
We're going to be taking the kids to the doctor sometime this week, as we've been waiting for a time we weren't going to be busy and when I had some PTO so we both could take off work to take both kids to the doctor.
*************************************
Last night was the first night we put Brodie & Naomi in the same room at bedtime. And, it worked out great! There was a couple times I heard Naomi whining, but she was able to go back to sleep and it didn't bother Brodie much. I think I heard him whine a couple times but not enough to wake up and come banging on his door. So this may be a new trend that sticks! If so, we have our bedroom back! :) haha
Hopefully though after they get back from being at the grandparent's for a week they're able to go right back on routine and sleep in the same room and not wake each other up.
***********************************
That may be the current updates so far. The kids are doing great, we're doing great. No one's sick or hurt. :)
Life is grand. :)
