Baseball game

For FHE this week, we decided to go watch an Idaho Falls Chukar’s game.  The kids have never been to a baseball game, and Kryssi and I haven’t been in a long time either.  Monday was Family Feast Night, with $1 hot dogs and drinks, so we decided to go and have dinner and watch the game.  The Chukars lost (though we only stayed through the 5th inning, due to kids being tired) but it was a lot of fun.

2 month stats

William had his 2 month check-up last week, and besides hating the shots, we were happy to see how well he is growing.  He checked in at 12 lbs 6.5 oz and 23 inches, which is in the 51 percentile and 56 percentile respectively.  So he’s basically average, but after 2 kids that would never gain weight, it’s great to have one that is.  Basically both Lucas and McKinley were a little over 4 months by the time they achieved the same weight, so hopefully William keeps it up.

Emergency care on a Sunday night (updated)

Update 08/12/13 11:41 AM: After taking the head wrap and bandage off this morning, he has 11 staples. Here is a picture of it, for those interested. I don’t think it looks that bad but for those that are squeamish, figured I wouldn’t post the picture directly here.

So we had a fun night.  Lucas took a tumble off of a chair, while McKinley and him were downstairs ‘cleaning’.  Kryssi and I rushed downstairs, saw blood all over him, and after a quick look at his wound, knew we needed to go to the doctor.

He ended up getting quite a few staples (not sure exact count, will have to look tomorrow when we take the bandage off) and he wasn’t happy to get staples, as he was told a story about how Kendal had to get staples when he was younger, and so he was really scared about that.  But he did great, the worst was the shots to numb it up.  Once it was numb, he was fine.

But we get to go back in a week to remove the staples, and Lucas will probably have a nice scar for the rest of his life.  On the bright side, I think this served as a good object lesson on why you shouldn’t climb on chairs, as I’ve been telling the kids not to climb on furniture multiple times.

2 months old

William was 2 months old yesterday.  He’s been growing and changing almost daily, at least that’s how it feels.  He was 11 1/2 lbs probably a couple weeks ago, which is by far better then either of our first kids.  At this rate, he’ll outweigh McKinley soon.

He loves smiling, especially in the morning or after a nap, and he loves it when you talk to him, and he’ll try and talk right back.  He also laughed the other day as well, which was pretty cute.

But we think he looks a lot like McKinley did, which you can be the judge of that in the pictures below, or see this post, which was McKinley at 2 months.


6 years

What can happen in 6 years?  Go to college, have a kid, work a couple different jobs.  Go to another school, have another kid, finish school, start a career.  Have yet another kid, buy a house, and a whole lot in between.

I wouldn’t have chosen anyone else to be with me on this journey.  Not everyone is as lucky as me, that gets to spend forever with their best friend.  Happy 6th anniversary Kryssi!
