Watch Me Grow: August 2008

Sorry this has not been updated in forever! We've been a little busy here. I hurt my knee a few weeks ago.

I was trying to jump over the baby gate and My knee slammed into the metal striker plate on the doorway where the doorknob hooks into it. It cut all the way to the bone and hit a tendon. Luckily I work for plastic surgeons and Dr. Livingston was nice enough to stay late that day so I could come in and have him stitch it up. He had to put 4 or 5 stitches on the inside and one long one over the top of it. I was all numbed up and had no idea how bad it was going to hurt the next day. I could hardly walk or bend my knee for almost 2 weeks. It's just now feeling a little better, but it's still hard going up and down the stairs.

Audrey had her 4 month appointment a few weeks ago (actually the same day I hurt my knee). She weighed 14lbs 14oz and was 24 1/4 inches. She's doing really well. She slept through the night for about a month. Then when she learned how to roll onto her tummy. She started waking up after she rolled onto her tummy and I have to come roll her back over. She's also been waking up hungry at night, so I started giving her some cereal last night. She did really well with it. She wasn't to sure about the spoon at first, but then she ate it all up. I hope she goes back to sleeping through the night again soon. I can't believe she's going to be 5 months already next week!

I've been potty training Owen. It's been going pretty well, he's still having accidents once in a while but he's catching on. I'm already saving a fortune on diapers, and Owen loves his Thomas underwear of course!

We've also been busy with my sister's wedding. Emily got married last Saturday. Her wedding was beautiful and she looked gorgeous. Congratulations Emily and Jeff!
