On friday the baby was one month old and he had an appointment at the doctor for a wellness check up. He weighed 11 lb 3 oz, which places him in the 90th percentile for weight. Since all the kiddos are home for the summer, we all trekked out to the appointment. The kids were good, helping hold the baby. When poor little Michael got his shot, the kids all watched, and when he screamed they all laughed. I think they were all so happy they did not have to be the ones to get the shot! Although Bella's four year shots are right around the corner, but what she doesn't know won't hurt her! After the doctor going so well, I got confident that I could take the four kids anywhere myself, so we headed to Kohl's for a little back to school shopping. It went pretty well, the three older kids all got backpacks, didn't think Michael needed one yet. Lizzie and Markie also got their first day of school outfits. Did I mention it was 116 degrees? Thus the picture of the thermometer inside my car. To celebrate we got Burger King and Someburros on the way home, which actually turned into a trip to Aunt Kim's house to visit Ben who had just arrived home from a week at summer camp. He had a great time and taught us all a couple of camp songs. It was a big outting for all of us, and I must say we are all adjusting to being plus one as a family quite well!
How did Bella get lumped into "the older kids" catagory already??
