Happenings of The Stanford Family: 3 weeks down...and a very long post!!

The boys' 3rd week of life was busy one...Aunt Jean again "vacationed" at our house for the week, all 3 kiddos had well check appointments, boys' went shopping for the first time, and we took our first roadtrip outside of the Des Moines area. The boys liked having Aunt Jean here to spoil them and Mommy actually got some things off her "to do" list done during the week...most importantly...starting the interview process for a summer sitter for the boys! (As Momma is itching to get back to work)

The boys were angels at their dr appt and the dr is very happy with the growth they are showing! (Momma is doing a good job of keeping their tummies full!) Each gained over a pound and grew over an inch since their first well check at 1 week old.

Ryan -- 7lbs 10oz; 20.3" -- birth 6lbs 8oz; 19 1/4"
Grant -- 7lbs 3oz; 19.8"-- birth 6lbs 7oz; 18" (Grant got down to 6lbs at our first dr appt)

Leighton...on the other hand...was not an angel at the dr office. I have never been in and out so fast in my life of any dr office!! 20mins!! She screamed from the second we got there till the second they gave her cookies on our way out the door. Don't blame her that much, everytime we have gone there, she has gotten shots and poked for one thing or another!

Leighton was -- 23lbs and 33"...she's tall for her age in the 80th percentile, she didn't gain any weight since her 15month appt, so we are back in 3 month for a weight check.

The boys did very well on their first road trip! We headed back to Winthrop to reunite Aunt Jean with her boys. It was a short trip for us, but we were able to get a visit to Great Grandma and Grandpa Tekippe's house.

Lastly, since the weather was sooooo awesome today (got to 87!), I decided to take on the task of going to the park with all the kids. We packed up our "neighborhood" stoller aka the bus that Aunt Jean found for us and headed to the park. Leighton LOVES the stroller...probably because she is soooo far away from mommy!! She likes to look back and say "see you" or "hi momma". The boys enjoyed the ride as well! Me on the other hand...I am going to have to start working out just so I am able to push this thing around!!
