Big Boys

We had a great weekend enjoying the outdoors. The weather has been so beautiful lately. We need to take advantage of these final days of warmth before we are stuck inside for the winter. You enjoyed the huge rocks in the James River.

Since it hasn't rained in weeks, the water level is extremely low and we were able to almost cross the river via the huge rocks. Your papa jumped from one rock to the next with you in the baby Bjorn. It scared me half to death, but I think I have to get used to it. This is only the beginning of all sorts of adventures he will take you on. I am usually not one to easily get scared. In fact, I was quiet the tomboy myself growing up. My friends and I would jump over creeks, across rivers, off of trees, ride unicycles, juggle fire, etc. I broke my share of bones and the hospital knew me by name. Before running off for the afternoon to play outside, my mom would tell me that she has no time to drive me to the hospital today and that I better be careful. It's funny that I am the one that gets scared now. I have a vivid imagination when it comes to all the possible things that could happen to you. Oh man, it's going to be hard. You are not even a toddler yet.

Another highlight of the weekend was the deals we found at the yard sales Saturday morning.
We got some great clothes for you - overalls, pants, PJ's, shirts, 3 pairs of shoes (including the cutest New Balance tennis shoes), jacket, radio flyer wagon, play mat and some other toys - all for $15. Everything is in great shape too. I think some of the pants were actually never worn since it still had the nylon thingy for the tag. I am not surprised that some clothes will not be worn since you little baby's grow like weeds. From now on I will skip old navy and check out the yard sales instead (at least I'll try :))

We found out at the doctor today that you are 28" long, 15.12 pounds and 17 3/4 head circumference. Long and lean (and a BIG head). I wouldn't be surprised if that will be the case in 16 years too.
