Chaille turned 15 months on Friday. Thanks to a confirmation call, we made it to her well child visit Friday morning. I had sort of "forgotten" the appointment, so the confirmation call Thursday afternoon saved us! Chaille weighed 25.5 lbs (the 85th percentile) and was 32 3/4 inches tall (97th percentile). The doctor says that she is proportionately big for her age and has no concerns with her. He thinks the reason she is not yet walking all over is strictly a lack of confidence. I hope that he is right. We are ready for her to take off, but she takes 3 or 4 steps at a time at best. Here are a couple of pictures from her appointment:
Playing in the waiting area while waiting for her turn to see the doctor.
We just LOVE the mirrored ceilings in the elevator! I love her happy smile, especially since this was after her two shots!!
We picked up our new motorhome on Thursday. What we thought would be a morning at the dealership ended up being an all day affair. My dad was our hero that day for going along and being a HUGE help with the kids and lunch. He's wonderful! Anyway, after our long ordeal when picking up our new toy, the younger three were pretty exhausted (Avery was at school!) Here they are on the way home:
Somehow Nolan stayed awake the entire trip. Chaille and Silas were lulled to sleep by the hum of the road! We LOVE it!!!
Over the weekend, we headed to Versailles State park for our very first camping adventure in our new RV. But first, we had to make an important stop...
Our least favorite part of the weekend was filling the 75 gallon tank!! Thankfully we didn't use TOO much fuel this trip!
All set up and ready to camp!
A look at the slide out side with the awnings over the window.
Saturday morning the boys walked a mile each way to the lake to go fishing. They didn't catch anything, but they still enjoyed some time together.
While they were gone, Chaille rested to make up for the short night the night before. She and Nolan shared a bed, and she didn't sleep very well!
I failed to get pictures of the boys' favorite aspect of the camping trip, riding bikes over a big dirt pile near the park. But on Sunday, we took a long hike as a family down to the creek. The kids enjoyed playing in the water a little:
Silas filled his pockets with treasures!
Avery found some crawdads and some fossil rocks.
Nolan found a spider and RAN!
Steve took this picture of me taking the following picture:
of a silly boy with his tongue stuck out!
Cheese! He loved throwing rocks into the water. As usual!
These boys love nature.
Fussing at me for not letting her play with the camera.
There, NOW she is smiling. I let her play with the boys' "scavenger hunt" bag.
The MEN, hunting and gathering ;o)
Cute smile!
Still looking for yet more excitement in the water.
Nolan and Daddy on the trail back to the campground. I <3 This picture!
