Ring Around The Rosey

So I've decided that I'm still not very good at this blogging thing. I read other people's blogs and I just smile and laugh about their everyday lives. So that's where we'll start. Where are we these days. Brad just got back from Cape and his favorite golf outing of the year at Bent Creek. Well last year they won the whole thing!! This year not so much, but he still had a good time, so he's happy. And I get to leave this week for Seattle to go play soccer in the over 30 nationals. So regardless of the outcome, I've never been to Seattle and we don't play on Saturday, so we have all day Saturday to hang out and see the sites. Fun, fun! :) The girls had their 15 month old checkup last week, so thinking they're 15 months we can go to the pediatrician by ourselves right? Wrong!!!! Note to self when taking more than one baby to get shots, take another helper to hold one child while the other is screaming. :) Luckily, our wonderful doctor was very helpful and Miss Addie was very independent and brave. Because of course our princess Riley would not let me out of her little pinchers. Our stats for the day are as follows: Riley 19 lbs. 8 oz. 30 in. and head 47 cm (which is in the 75th percentile). Addie is 22 lbs. 4 oz. 29.75 in. and 46.8 cm. Which I take with a grain of salt, because they are big girls now and got to stand on the big kid scale for the first time so it's a little different than the baby scale. However, they still had to lay down to get their height measured and when they both want mom to hold them, we are moving pretty quick with our measurements. Luckily the head measurement is the most accurate and they didn't have to do it 3 times like last time, because they were amazed their heads were so big. They don't seem that big or disproportionate to me, what do you think? This really bugs Brad too, but again not too concerned. Other than that we checked out right on schedule and got our shots and out the door. The girls have been super funny lately. They've now started wresting which is pretty funny to watch. Riley definately prefers to tackle Addie and Addie gets a kick out of it too. She just laughs and laughs, however, when she pins Riley forget it. Riley does not appreciate it at all and if you've ever heard Riley scream you know she means business. :) So they are running and chasing each other and our new thing is ring around the rosey. Riley likes to even do it by herself, snapping her fingers and turning in circles. Too cute!! They seem to have started their own little language. Addie stood in front of my mother and myself apparently cracked herself up, then repeated the phrase again and cracked herself up. She's our little dancer! My mom finally got her dancer! (My mom used to teach tap back in the day for those who didn't know). Actually they both like to dance, and Riley's usually snapping, but loves to sing as well. Just like her parents!! I'll try to post some pictures soon. Still haven't figured out my new camera's downloading process. Uggh! Okay until next time.
Hugs!
