Counting Down the Days...:(

Waaaa!  One more day until Mom heads back home to the east coast.  Happy for my Dad...sad for me!  We've had a great time with her out here.  Chloë just LOVES having the constant playmate and attention.  She's up for a harsh reality check starting Thursday!  Gramma has not only been her playmate but also her room mate.   Chloë's big-girl bed has a trundle bed that pulls out and so they shared the room for the past two weeks.  I'm sure Gramma will be excited to get back into her king-size bed in Richmond!

Finger update:  Chloë's finger is doing much better- we still keep it covered with gauze and a bandaid but we're taking it off to let it air out for awhile each day.  I think in a day or two we'll be able to lose the bandaid all together if she's ready for it.  The wound is healing really nicely and I'm thinking it may look almost completely back to normal when it fully heals.  Maybe a slight indentation...and not sure if fingerprints can grow back?  Does anyone know?

Boys are 9 1/2 months already- just had their 9 month well-baby check up last Friday.  Elijah is 20lbs and Owen is 19lbs more or less.  I think Owen measured about a 1/2 inch longer than Eli.  Sounds about right.  So overall Owen was in the 50th percentile for weight and 75th percentile for height (tall and thin like Myke) and Eli was 75th percentile for both (tall and big like me...!).   They both continue to have giant heads (over 98th percentile).  Thank you Grandpa for the giant head gene :)

Loving Gramma

(though it took Owen 2 full days to crack a smile at Gramma when she first arrived...he is very wary of new people these days)

Both boys love to watch the washing machine in action

big boys!

Myke and I went on a date night!  Sushi yummy-ness :)
