So, today Charlie and Kinzie had a WIC appt, it went pretty well, except they are both on the petite side. Charlie weighed in at 29.1 lbs and is 35&7/8 in tall. Kinz was 18lbs 12 oz and is 29in. Now that Kinzie is walking she is dropping some weight. Hopefully it will pick back up. Since she is such a great eater. She eats everything you put in front of her! Charlie needs to gain some weight too, but I have a harder time getting him to eat anything besides chicken, french fries, and nutra grain bars!
Charlie will be 3 soon, I can't believe it! He is growing so fast here lately it seems. He is talking all the time. And we are working on potty training, surprisingly he is doing very well! I think he was just waiting on me to be ready! He is actually playing with other kids now, which is fun, so those little Mumpowers better be ready for him when we come home at Christmas!
Kinzie is 15 months now, and walking and RUNNING all over the place! Shortly after Mike got back she just took off and hasn't stopped yet. She has 6 teeth now, they just keep popping through. She has also started talking. So far we have mommy, dada, puppy, baby, thank you, and her personal favorite, what's this/that.
Just to update on Mike and I, he is back from his deployment and enjoying his kids. He has started back to work and next week they start snow shift, which means long days and weeks! But it's still better than the desert.
I am just trying to survive with 4 kids. I agreed to keep Mike's supervisor's kids for 7 months, while he is deployed. We have had them for 2 weeks and will have them until May. Louie is 7 and Jose is 3, so I stay pretty busy. Charlie is loving having a built in buddy at the house, him and Jose run around and torture our cat together. Louie keeps me busy with schoolwork as he is in the 2nd grade. After only 2 weeks I have decided Mike was crazy in wanting 4 kids!! We are both starting to think 2 is the perfect number (but I am still secretly hoping for that 3rd to just *happen*).
Also for those that haven't heard, we will be HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS!! We have already purchased tickets and will be home on Dec. 12th-Jan 8th. The 1st weekend is already booked as we are going to celebrate my dad's 50th bday. Those of you that want to come let me know munson_mjcm@yahoo.com and I will get you the details. Other than that if you want to see us while we are there let me know and we can plan a time to meet up! Mike is going to be pretty busy with his family as he hasn't seen them in over 2 years, but for the most part (aside from Christmas week) the kids and I have free time!
So I hope this was ok for my 1st ever blog, I hope I can keep it up and keep you all filled in on our crazy lives!
and here's a treat (let me know if these don't work!)
