9 months

A is 3/4 yr old now. Here are the stats. 15% weight, 75% height, Off the chart head... yep.... uhhhh.... this lead to much long winded conversation about the Doctors own children and their extremely large melons. Stories about adult large hats for kids at Dodger games, vendors laughing in his face, angry dads after waiting in line only to get back to the seat and find out the helmet was too small etc. This was all done loudly with much gesticulation.

He's also become more afeared of strangers, or he doesn't like doctors already, or he doesn't like stomping, loud, long winded, analogy for everything Dr's. He's healthy.

Goings On

Howdy all,
Since Summer is here Z has become a fan of the great outdoors and walks.



On one of these recent walks Some older folks down the street offered a few toys that had been waiting for her in their garage. Z kindly accepted and brought home a new car and a scooter type thing. These have quickly become the only things she wants to do all day. She doesn't like to actually go anywhere in them, she just wants to climb in and out and push them around empty. Here are some enjoyment shots.








As you can see the spoil us rottens came up to enjoy our company for the day. Z has them wrapped aorund her tiny finger.


Some other random shots of our kids generally being themselves.







We are generally happy. Summer is here. T is home. It's HOT. We go places. We try to think of places to go. We Eat. We Sleep (a little).

Thats all folks.

Cherries

Yesterday was the opening of the Leona Valley Cherry season. Folks from all over SoCal call and email and such to find out when the cherries will be ready. They were ready on Saturday at 8am and one of the girls at the orchard said they would be gone by sunday night. We went up given that I fancy Bing cherries (I thought I was the only one in this fam, turns out that was wrong.)
Here are the adventure pictures.



They were incredible purple sweet juicy and when we got there at 10am the bottoms of the trees had already been picked clean.
Luckily I had help in the form of Z, and I am a little taller than your average old lady.



The weather here has finally reached summer temp. This is nice on a cherry picking morning at 4,000 feet.







But really bad when your 20 year old air conditioner doesn't want to work anymore. We're getting a new one put in tomorrow right before the temps get 100+.

We try to spend more time outside because at least there is a breeze. Here Z shows off her New Trike courtesy of Grandpa + Grandma CHEEEE! (Z speak)



That ends this post.

Adventures in Baby (learning to) Sitting

Hola Holla etc.,
Z had her 2 year check up she's 70ish% height, 70% weight, 95ish% head. Wooh. Healthy as an ox. She's 2. This means many things.

It means she eats new thing like corn off the cob. This only happened once.

She occasionally likes to girl it up. (wtg Sis)

She's all about not doing what you want even if that mean running headstrong into things.
She can talk in sentences. If she doesn't want to do something its "I'm NOT ________ " She doesn't say no. She does and says more funny things now. She likes to sweep dirt.


A has learned how to stand up while holding on to things. Please excuse the sideways-eness. I can't shake the photographer in me who wants to shoot vertical subjects vertically.


This new skill is exciting.


And since he hasn't learned how to get down gracefully.




Quite Painful.



Clearly he want to get the heck out of here. But he's good overall.





As a last bit of info we ate Lobster. It's not good. It tastes like fish fecal matter, lemon and butter.




This ends this post.
