Oscar’s Check up at Dr. Ernsters

25 Oct 2010

By the numbers:

47 pounds (89th percentile)

44 ¾ inches tall (89th percentile)

BMI 17 ½

and his blood pressure was 98 over 58.

Dr. Ernster wanted to make sure he was getting his 4 cups of milk a day (he is.)
The nurse gave him his flu shot by nasal squirt so no needle drama.
That was pretty much it.

The Life Of Pi

21 Oct 2010

If you haven’t read this 2001 classic, you should! The Life Of Pi is a fantasy adventure novel by Yann Martel, about a boy, “Pi” Patel, from India, who survives a shipwreck and is stranded on a boat in the Pacific Ocean with a Bengal tiger.

But this isn’t a book report. This is a post to show off Aunt Madie’s AWESOME photojournalism via her camera phone. Sometimes you have to be quick to get the real photo. (If you miss it and try to re-create the moment, it’s never as good.)

Lucy is now too big for her inflatable ‘bathtub within the bathtub’. However, we found she is having so much fun with it on dry land. She crawls in and out of it all day long. It’s her new favorite thing. But it didn’t achieve major league CUTEness until this moment:
