Update on the kidlets

Grant is now six months and doing well. He is not packing on the pounds as fast as before but he is still a good sized boy.

Grant is 21 pounds 9 ounces (95%) 29 inches long(above the 95%).

Grant is doing well eating solids, his favorite is bananas. He is sitting for a short periods of time. And, when on his tummy he turns around in circles and scoots backward.
Carter's speech is doing much better these days. I understand most of what he says.

Carter loves spending time with his cousin Jacob.

Carter is also a good helper. Since Carter is not yet potty trained we do a lot of diaper changes and Carter is always willing to run diapers to the trash.

Carter is also very much living up to the title of "terrible twos." The days when we go out and do something Carter is a happy boy. Two weeks ago the kids and I were sick and we stayed home for a week and Carter was so cranky. Sometimes Carter is very difficult to live with. I am not saying this to complain. I want to document Carter's nature so that one day when he has kids and one of them is a pill he will know where it came from. I tell Dean regularly that Heavenly Father sent me Carter to teach me patience.
Abby is growing like a weed, physically and mentally. She is getting so tall that some of her size six pants are getting a little short. Abby is doing well in school. She recently had her Christmas program. She said that she liked being on stage.

Abby is a good helper around the house. We recently gave her a chore. Abby is in charge of emptying the bathroom trash bins every day. She does great with it and never complains. She is a great example to Carter.
