Trip tp SLC for 4 month check up

Lexi had her 4 month checkup

Her stats are:

Weight: 10lbs 6oz!!!  6 percentile She made it on the growth charts!!

Length: 23.25 inches  16 percentile

Head: 40cm 12 percentile

With all the giving her breast milk mixed with the formula she gained weight and the goal was to have her to 10 lbs by the 4 month check so we reached the goal. But to continue to have her gain weight we are going to continue to do the fortified formula mixed with the breast milk instead of water to give her the extra calories. 

She had a little bit of a cold and with all the ash in the air from the wild fires she has had a little bit a a problem breathing, but seems to be clearing out the cold herself but we are watching her close to make sure it doesn't go deeper into her lungs. Because there isn't a whole lot you can do for someone so little. Other than admit her to Primary's and suction her lungs. So we're trying to avoid that. 

The boys have also had little colds for the last week that got a ton worse with the smoke in the air so while at the Dr's I had them checked too. They both had bronchitis from the smoke and the Dr thinks Croup too. So he started them on a steroid and breathing treatments.  

So after all the fun at the Drs we headed to Sugar house park because the air was cleaner in Salt Lake and they boys needed to run out some of their energy. 

So we had a picnic and chased ducks and seagulls.

So that's how we spent the day in SLC

What do you do the Summer Time?

So where have all the pictures been?

My camera took a dip in the pool at 7 peaks but didn't have the control panel locked so it got a little wet. But Luckily our neighbor was able to fix it!!! (Thank you DOUG!) 

So this is what we do the in the Summer time...

We go to the park

 We filled up the old air mattress with water to make a water bed.

 So all over pinterest right now is a thing about getting painters plastic and taping it together and then filling it with water for kids to play on. I thought that sounds like fun...but I'm to cheap to go buy the painters plastic and the air mattress had a few slow leaks making it not fun to sleep on any more. But fun to jump on. 

 We make pudding pops

 We make faces

 We painted bird houses

 We made pinhole cameras for the solar eclipse and Venus traversing the sun

 We admired all the flowers

 We go on motorcycle rides

 We spoil little girls

 

We Build really tall towers with Uncle Matt

 We still love on the little sister

 We BBQ and eat outside enjoying our corn on the cob

 We smile

 We make GAK

 We swim in our back yard pool

 He got to go to work with Daddy

One night Sam came home for dinner but then had to go back to teach a class in the evening. So Seth got dressed up in his matching tie just like Daddy's' and got to back to work with Daddy and help teach the class. 

 We drink from the hose

 We experiment

 The boys love Egg Cake (Dutch Cakes, German Pancakes whatever you want to call them) But they all love the edges and no one ever wants to eat the middle so we made mini ones in the muffin tin so that most of it was the crunchy edges.

We make funny faces

 We blow bubbles

 We pick Raspberries and Strawberries

 It's taken us 4 years but we are finally starting to get a decent amount of berries and the boys love to go out in the yard and eat them until they are full

We celebrated Fasther's Day

 The boys made Sam a giant cookie for Father's day Cookies and Milk

We swam in our pool some more.

 And this is about a daily occurance

 We played Dress up

 We did Paper Mache

 We sun bath

 We go to 7 peaks

 (This is the one where my camera got wet)

 We harass the neighbors

 I took these from my porch. The boys like to go out and sit with the Mogels on their front landing and talk.

So that's what we do in the summer time... We at least so far we still have 2 months of summer left.
