Friday Fun

Filed Under: Family, Photography

Carsyn had his 9 month well check up yesterday at 10 months old. His doctor while finally concerned. She wants to run some blood work to check for hyperthyroid. She doesn’t know if he does or not, but wants to check. They measured him at 16lbs 9oz, 26 1/2 inches long and a head circumference of 43cm. 3rd percentile for it all. She is also referring me to a rehab center, but they won’t see Carsyn till August. They are really backed up. I am hoping we can get some answers soon though.
My sweet baby {big} boy has freckles. I hated them when I was younger, but they look so darn cute on him! He had his 3 year check up yesterday. He weighed 36 lbs and was 39 inches tall. 90th percentile for both categories. He did really well with his hearing test. Wouldn’t really cooperate with seeing test but that was hard for me. Overall he did great at his visit. No shots! Yay! He was really, really great. I love him soooo much!

The moon coming up. That is the sun’s glow on the trees. I had been wanting to get a photo like this. I am entering this into Live Every Moments Anything Photo Challenge.

I manually focused to get the moon in focus and the trees out of focus.

Hubby took this photo for me. Thanks again for all your sweet words and sorry I haven’t been able to write back or visit you all. I have been enjoying this weather with my boys. Have a great weekend everyone!

I love those freckles! One of my daughters has just one freckle on her upper arm. I am waiting for the others to appear. Based on her dad and myself, I know they're coming sooner or later! :)

6 weeks ago I cut off the top of my Monstera Adans 6 weeks ago I cut off the top of my Monstera Adansonii because it was very tall but not bushy. It was nerve wracking at first. I had 5 total cuttings that I put into water. 4 of the pieces had roots longer than 2 inches with some secondary roots. The last piece is still in water, it has some roots but not enough, so giving it a bit more time. Where I cut it is also making a new stem and I noticed further down it was trying to branch out in other places. Hopefully it takes off this Summer and becomes fuller looking.

It was soooo cold out there tonight even with the sun. The wind was whipping. It may have been in the 40s but the wind chill was in the low 30s. I think my face is wind burned. Annie did a great job playing tonight and was trying so hard to make a goal. The other team was short on players, so one of her teammates was goalie and did an awesome job stopping the ball. Annie tried a new strategy of holding the ball in between her feet until the other team gives up. 🤣 There is one clip of Prestyn (# 13). His games are harder to take video of cause his field is so big.

Two and a half months after her first tooth she fi Two and a half months after her first tooth she finally lost her second tooth. It’s been hanging on barely. Today while eating lunch I told her it was close to coming out and we would need to pull it before bed. While eating chicken teriyaki she thought she swallowed it and spit out the chicken in her mouth. I dug through it and it wasn’t there. She started freaking out. Then looked on the chair and it was sitting right there. 🤣 A similar thing happened with Prestyn on one of his bottom teeth. My kids never want to pull them out until they fall out on their own. Ha.

So it was growing soooooo slow. I finally repotted it a couple weeks ago, moved it closer to a window, and started using plant food from @happyhappyhouseplant. Not sure what made the most difference but the leaf opened and now a new one is already starting. Hoping it won’t take as long this time.
