More of the Same, I Guess

What have we been up to this week?  Hmmmm....Well more of the same I guess.  I say that with a smile.  

On Sunday the kids and I decided to try out Sunday School. We all loved it. I was worried that after spending 3 hours at church the kids would be not so fond of it. However, as we were pulling out of the parking lot McKenna said, "We're going back again next week, right." 

 After church we made our usual Subway stop before heading to Mimi and Pappy's for an afternoon of swimming.  Kinley has not quite worked her way up to cold cut hoagies so she settled for pureed sweet potatoes.   I'm happy (maybe not so much) to report that we are phasing out baby food and moving more and more toward real food for our big girl.

 Don't look now, but that's McKenna jumping off the diving board WITH NO FLOATIES ON!!!!!  It's still hard for me to believe how far she's recently come in the pool.   I'm so, so glad though that she has learned to swim.  She's like a fish now.

 And this boy is not far behind.  He's still sporting the swimmies in the deep end but give him a week or two and I have a sneaking suspicion that they will be history.

 We had a rainy Tuesday and so Daddy and Kinley decided that it called for a good old nap.  I have to admit to a little jealousy as I quickly snapped this picture before running out the door to take McKenna to Spanish.

After her nap she was ready to go....to the doctor that is.  After picking McKenna up at her lesson we loaded Kinley in the car and took her to her 9 month well baby check.   She's happy to let you know that she weighed in at just barely over 18 pounds and was 29 ( I think) inches long.    We were excited to dodge shots this time but consented to a little blood work to check her iron level.   We have stopped giving her iron fortified cereal because it gives her tummy troubles and 9 months is around the time that the iron stores a baby was born with begin to decline.   She seemed no worse for the wear after we left the doctors office, although her feelings might have been a little hurt.  Poor girl.

We didn't stop for long before heading to meet Daddy and Cooper at the movies.  We were all looking forward to seeing Madagascar 3.   It was a funny movie and Kinley and I managed to see all but the last literally 5  minutes.  Sigh.  But, hey, I can't complain when she sat through the first hour and a half.

So, there you have it.  We've been hanging around, enjoying the second official week of summer!  There has been a little less attitude this week, a little more cooperation and the usual dose of silliness mixed in.  And so, we've had a pretty great week.   We are gearing up for a busy weekend with a Father's Day breakfast, a trip to Knoebel's and birthday party preparations for Cooper.    I'm tired already!
