Kids Quotes! VIII

Lady at the park: And what's your sister's name?
Matthew: Bean. 
Mommy: Yeah, we call her Bean, but what's her real name?
Matthew: Honeybunch. 
Mommy: Yeah, we call her that too. 

Maybe Mike and I should call her Thea more often. Or ever. 

Helmet

Mike left work a little early yesterday so that we could take a family trip to the local bike shop to get Matthew sized for a helmet. And we found an "organginge" one!!!!



His new bike should arrive next week!

Kid Quotes! III

Background: we recently visited a 8 1/2 month pregnant lady and talked about a baby being in the mama's belly. 

Matthew (pointing at Grandma's stomach): What's in here?
Grandma: Nothing, that's just my stomach. 
Matthew (pointing north of Grandma's belly): What are those?
Grandma: What does your mommy say?
Matthew: (pauses and then points to Mommy's) That's a drink! (pause) That's a small drink! (pause) That's a tiny drink!

15 Months

Since Bean is almost 16 months, we thought we'd let you all know how her 15 month appointment went.

Height: 31" (50-75th %ile)*
Weight: 20 lbs, 10 oz (10-25%ile)
Head circumference: 48 cm (95th %ile)

*Doubt it.  The woman took the measurements quickly and Bean is a peanut!  Bean doesn't know she's tiny, cause she believes she is seven.  Take her to the park and you'll see.  It's real easy trying to rescue her out of a netted bridge that's 10 feet long.

Thea is a great sleeper and eater and has six teeth (four on top and two on the bottom), although back at 15 months she had probably only had three teeth on top the forth was just popping through.  She is a happy girl who is such a joy to be around.  Whenever we pick her up from childcare at church, people go on and on about how much fun she is to be with and how they gravitate to her.  She is funny (loves to make farting noises at random with her mouth) and loves her brother (runs to his room each time he wakes up from a nap...with open arms to hug him).

Who doesn't LOVE a baby waddling?!?!
