The Salmon Family: October 2009

4 months... already?

On October 4, Lucy was 4 months old! Wow! Time sure does fly! She is such a happy baby. She loooooves to be on her tummy, has discovered how much fun it is to screech, and has recently started eating applesauce and pears! Yum! Last week she went for her 4 month check-up. She is super healthy and just, overall, a good baby. Here were her 4 month stats-

Weight: 15lb 13 oz (95th percentile!)

Height: 24 3/4" (75th percentile)

Head: 16 1/4" (50th percentile)

So, in summary, Lucy is a fatty with a teeny tiny head. But we love her just the same....

Here's just a little taste of the conversations Lucy likes to have with all of us...

(but usually they are happening about 3:30 am!!)

Bath Time!

Bath time really is fun at the Salmon house! Both girls LOVE their baths... and now that Lucy is a bit bigger, we set her "baby tub" right in the bathtub with Maggie so they can both take a bath together!

Maggie called this her "munchkin hair!"

Lucy in the Sky... with Diamonds!

Maggie serenades her sister with "the Lucy song." Now just to teach her a few more lines of the song... (not that Lucy seems to mind!)

Can you say "Chunk-a-Lunk?"

Lucy's nickname around the house here is "Chunk-a-Lunk."

Can you guess why?

Our Littlest Pumpkin

We pulled out the "Halloween Collection" for Miss Lucy now that it's October. We think the horizontally striped tights are totally slimming....

Randomness....(is that even a word?)

This is where Maggie plays EVERY night while mommy makes dinner. More often than not, Daddy ends up with some sort of plastic food on his dinner plate.

Maggie's first trip to the movies. We didn't, however, see Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. We were actually there to see The Wizard of Oz (which Maggie L-O-V-E-D!) but they didn't have a poster for it... this had to suffice!

Rice cereal- Yum!

Maggie found Gramma's old rollers in the closet. They are her new favorite toy!

Not quite the finished product....

....but check this out!

This is the preview Marnie had for us on Thursday. We tweaked a few things and are SO EXCITED to get the real thing! Maggie and Lucy are beautiful, but Marnie truly makes them shine!

Poor, Poor Lucy...

The last time Lucy pooped was Thursday. Until today. Today is Sunday. Dan heard a funny "rumble" while Lucy was in the swing this afternoon, then the air was filled with a thick, green fog. This is what we found:

You know it can't be good when it is soaking through the sweatpants...

Oh my....

Note the scissors on the floor....
We decided it was just easier to cut the onesie off than pull it over her head.

Yes, it truly was this army green color...
if only there was a way to share the horrific smell with you, too....

The only possible ending to this story is a good, warm bath!

Maggie Reads "Goodnight Moon"

Are you tucked in and ready for bed? This one will make you sleepy!

Marnie Rocks!

Last week the girls went for their "photo shoot" with Marnie (this was a continuation of the one Maggie won from the photo contest last fall.) So far, this is what we've gotten to preview:

Mom and dad go Thursday night to see the rest.

We can't wait!

Maggie's New Favorite Song is.....

Dan and I have the ZacBrown Band CD constantly playing in the car because Maggie loves the "Chicken Song" (Chicken Fried). Yesterday, as I was getting dinner ready, Maggie was playing on the piano.... when we listened to what, exacly she was singing, we couldn't help but laugh... The song is called "Toes," and it's the first song on the CD... It goes something like this:

I got my toes in the water

Ass in the sand

Life is good today....
Great song. Even better sung by a 2 year old.
