On May 16th, we had Eli's 4th birthday party at Pump
It Up! It's basically a building with
giant inflatables for the kids to jump in/on.
The theme this year? All about
Paw Patrol and the wonderful and thoughtful gifts that Eli received followed
suit. He is thrilled to have new Paw
Patrol toys:)
On May 22nd, Eli's real birthday,
we did what he wanted: To go to downtown
Plymouth's toy store and pick out rocks and then to see the BIG buildings in
Detroit where daddy works. We topped the
day with lunch at Bagger Dave's downtown, Pump It Up for another friends'
birthday party and then out for dinner with his best friend Ellie. All in all, a wonderful day and way to
celebrate my little 4 year old.
Tuesday, May 26th we had Eli's 4
year check up and Lincoln's 9 month check up and the stats are in:
Lincoln clocks in at 19 pounds 3 ounces (40th
percentile) and 28 inches tall (31st percentile).
Eli is an astounding 3 feet 5
inches (66th percentile) and 34 pounds (32nd percentile).
How do the boys compare you ask? At 9 months Eli was:
Height: 28 and
1/2 inches (53%)
Weight: 17
pounds and 4 ounces (4%)
Head: 17 and 1/2
I am so blessed
to have two healthy little boys:)
