We are all settling into our new home and our new routine. We get to bike up and down the street on our new bikes (Emmett got Ninja Turtles, Riley got Lightening McQueen, and Tessa got Minnie Mouse), and we have friends to stop and chat with along the way, but we have a teensy-weensy backyard to play in. Also, the houses are close together and we all have to use indoor voices even when we are outside, so as to not scare the neighbors with our craziness. So it’s different, but still the same.
Asher went to the doctor for his 9 month visit last week and he’s doing fantastic. He’s in the 50th percentile for everything, on a non-adjusted chart, which means he’s average for all 9 month olds. This is great in that Asher’s had 8 weeks less time to grow than most other 9 month olds, so we are all still thinking that when he fully catches up (around 2 years old) he’ll probably be closer to the 80th percentile for everything. He’s still napping a few times a day and sleeping through the night. So he’s got that going for him, which is nice.
We start our summer camp next month, and we are all looking forward to that. Truth be told, we are kind of bored without our ginormous backyard to play in. But at camp, we’ll do swim, gymnastic, dance, and basketball lessons. We’ll be crazy busy. And we’ll have a ton of new friends to play with and new teachers to bedevil. It’ll be wonderfully exhausting.
Until then, we’ve a new babysitter who will be helping out once Dad is at work full-time (which is next week). We miss our Pop-pop, Ms Ann, Hannah and Ashton, but we are looking forward to doing art projects and playing in our playhouse with Davey. Maybe she’ll even be brave enough to take up to the park! Stay tuned.
