October is really flying on by. Jared had his 15 month doctor's visit this morning. He is 21 lbs., 1 oz. (10%) and 31.5" tall (60%). The pediatrician said that since he is eating all of the time and very active, she isn't worried that he is in the 10th percentile for weight. Jared's bottom molars also look like they are going to pop through his gums any day now - the gums are so puffy. Poor kid - he has been chewing on his fingers a lot lately, but I'm not going to stick my fingers in his mouth to check - that's a dangerous thing to do!
Steve's parents came down a few weekends ago. Beth would rake the leaves around Jared, who had a grand time throwing them all around. Steve and I also got to (finally!) go over to see the Skocik's house, and all of the incredible work that they've put into it. It looks great!
Karin organized a lunch for us and the kids to meet up with some of our former NASA coworkers. It was a lot of fun, except that Jared didn't want to sit next to Ella, since she was making a high pitch screech. I find this funny, since Jared makes that sound all of the time himself. It was great to go and see people - most people hadn't seen Jared for a while, and he is a lot more mobile now!
Jared got into a cactus that the previous owners had planted. I had been meaning to dig it out, but never got around to it. The needles were the thickness and color of blond hair, although pretty short and rigid. It made it really difficult to find and remove them. Needless to say, I ended up with them all over me too. It took days to find and remove them all, and I ruined some work gloves while trying to dig it up. The main patch was pretty well established and hard to get all of it out. Steve, my Mom, and I all tried at different times, but I hope that it's finally gone.
More to come later...
