August 17-24

The girls had a check-up last week.  Gretchen is 23 lbs, 9oz, and 31.5 inches tall.  Olivia is 33 lbs, 9 oz, and 39 inches tall (that's 3'3"!).  Everything else is fine, although Gretchen did miss her shots because I forgot the immunization record and we were at a new (for this visit only because of the move) place.  She'll get them at 18 months instead.

I forgot to mention that Murry taught Gretchen to say "uh-oh."  I think most of the joy Gretchen gets from saying uh-oh is listening to everyone else mimic it back to her.  She thinks it's the most hilarious game ever.

Funny things:
-Olivia came marching out of the playroom one day, grabbed her little broom from the kitchen, and marched back to the playroom announcing that there was a bug that she needed to sweep.  I went in a little later and saw her standing guard, broom pointed at the ceiling.  Apparently the bug had escaped and she was NOT going to leave until it came back so that she could sweep it.
-Bryan left after lunch one day, telling the girls to "be good for mommy."  Then he looked at Olivia and said, "Are you going to be good for Mommy?"  Her reply?  "Um, y-, um, maybe, hmm, uh, ye-, um."  Five minutes later, she finally said yes.

Last Saturday we were at a bridal barbecue (rather than shower) and Keshia took some pictures of Olivia.  I particularly like the sequence where she appears to be exercising to a Richard Simmon's tape on the cornhole board.  :)  Pictures below.
