Update!

Hey Everyone! Sorry it has been so long since I've updated the blog. We have been really busy around our house. Caroline is 6 months old now! It's so hard to believe. Time flies when you are having fun, right??

As many of you know we have been dealing with weight issues with Caroline since her 2 week checkup. She is consistently below the 5% for weight. We have done lots to try and get her to consume more food with no avail. At her 6 month checkup she weighed in at a whopping 13lbs, 1oz. She weighed 12.1 at her 5 month weight check appointment. Aside from that, she is a wonderful, happy baby. She loves her big brother and watches his every move. She is army crawling and gets up and rocks on all fours. She can go anywhere she wants! This is a good thing and a bad thing as all of you mom's know. Good because she is content on the floor crawling around, bad because I don't always know what's on the floor that she is going to find. : ) But she is such a joy! She sleeps from 8pm-7am so we can't complain. Her hair has continued to grow and she has about as much of it as I do. Mitch is totally smitten with her and tells her all of the time how beautiful she is. Chapman does the same. When she has on a new dress Chapman says, "Showine such a pretty princess." It is so sweet. We are loving having a little girl!

Chapman has had a fun summer! He goes to Lakeside Presbyterian to their summer program. I made the terrible mistake of calling it "school" and he promptly corrected me saying, "No, mommy, not shool, it's my prodram." I about died. Of course I had Mitch ask him later that night and he said the same thing. He says Pinelake (our church where he goes to MMO) is his school and Lakeside is just his "prodram." I don't know who he heard say this but it cracks us up. He is still playing ball all of the time. He loves going in the backyard and practicing. You know children are always listening to what you're saying but they repeat the funniest things! The other day he was riding his train around the house and he stopped by me and said, "Mommy, I going to the shore. I need shupons and money." Oh brother, what have I done??? This is such a fun age and he is a big helper with Caroline. We are very blessed!

Mitch just started his 4th year!! Can I get a whoop-whoop?? I am so proud of all he has done. We had a fun trip in June thanks to his hard work! He did some research and it got accepted to a meeting in Point Clear, AL at The Grande Hotel. We all went and it was fabulous!! We had a ball. If you ever have a chance to go, please do! It is beautiful. And some other research he did got accepted to a meeting in Chicago in September so we are going with him there too. Chapman is really excited about flying on an airplane.

Sorry there are no pictures. I have a ton to share but I have been trying for a week now to upload them to the blog and I cannot get it to work. Has anyone else had this problem? I mean I will leave it for 30 minutes and they still will not work. I have tried 1 picture and I have tried 5 pictures, neither works. I thought I'd give an update though of what's been going on around here. Hope everyone is doing well!
