Lagoon

I'm a bit late on this post, but I needed to get some pictures from my sister. So last Friday, June 20th, we went to Lagoon. It was so nice because the company my Dad works for paid for us all to go and even had a catered lunch for us... mmm, mmm, good. Nick and I got away with only spending $10 the entire time we were there, and that included a $1.80 chocolate candy bar for Sydney which wasn't even king size. Highway robbery, I tell ya!

It's been years since we've been to Lagoon, and it really seemed like a lot has changed. They have at least 3 new rides (all of which had about a 45 minute wait, GRRR!), and the trees seemed to be a lot bigger. It was nice to have so much shade. I remember going to Lagoon as a kid, and shade was little and far between. Sydney got to go on a lot of rides, and just loved it! Nick and I were even able to sneak away for awhile, while Grandpa, Brad and Lauren watched Sydney and Zoe. The White Roller Coaster and Colossus were just as fun as ever. We had a blast!

THANKS GRANDPA FOR SUCH A GREAT TIME!

Zoe's 4 months old!!

Well she turned 4 months on June 19th, but her 4 month doctor appointment was today. She has done a great job growing, considering she was behind in weight and length when she was born. I guess being born 4 week early will do that to a kid :)


Here are some pictures of Zoe from the past few months.


Zoe's Stats from her last 3 doctor visits. She really is doing great!

2 weeks: 5lbs 12 oz - 2 percentile ~ 18.5 inches - 2 percentile

2 months: weight and length 16 percentile - I couldn't find the exact #'s

4 months: 13.21 lbs - 35 percentile ~ 23.5 inches - 18 percentile

Here's a cute video from today:

Sydney's 1st Dentist Visit

Sydney had her first visit with the dentist on Wednesday, and WOW was she brave!

On Monday I started prepping her for the big day. We talked about how she would need to open her mouth really big when the dentist asked. And that the dentist would then put his fingers in her mouth to make sure her teeth were white and clean. After our little pep talk, I found Sydney in the other room with her fingers in Zoe's mouth. I asked her what she was doing, and she told me she was checking Zoe's teeth :) So cute!

Anyway, Wednesday came and we went to the dentist. Sydney didn't open her mouth quite as big as during our practice, but she did enough for the dentist to get his tools in. Then came time for the polishing, and she did wonderfully. I think she liked the taste of the polish. When she was all done, they gave her a pink balloon, a new "Winnie the Pooh" toothbrush, and a green and blue bouncy ball. Nick and I are so proud of her. It turned out to be a great dentist experience.

Pool Party

This past Saturday, Sydney and Zoe got to have a pool party with a few cousins. It was a BLAST!! Last year their Aunt Michelle purchased this AWESOME kiddie pool. It has everything you could ever want... a slide, lounging pool, giraffe ring toss, lion ball toss, and even a spraying palm tree. Sydney was practically terrified of getting into it last year... but this year she had no fear. She spent almost 3 hours straight in the pool. It was so much fun watching the kids splishin' and splashin'. Sydney even got her face wet, which hardly ever happens in the bath tub. Must be related to her Grandma Wilkinson :)

Zoe didn't really enjoy the water. She lasted about 10 seconds.
We couldn't pry the hose from Tate's hands :)
Ashton and Caleb were CRAZY, just splashing everywhere

This last one is of Sydney twirling into the pool. Such a Princess.
