18 Month Check-Ups

The babies had their 18-month check-up this week, and everybody looked great! I am still amazed by how blessed we are to have five babies with no major health issues! All of them are doing exactly what they should be at this age. Here are the stats from their visit:

Kassidy

Height: 31.75 inches (50th percentile!)

Weight: 21.12 lbs (10-25th percentile)

(Note: I think 50th percentile for height is higher than any of my kids, or me or Jayson for that matter, have made it up the height chart---I guess Kassidy is going to be the "tall" one in the family :-) )

Kaydence
Height: 30.5 inches (5th percentile)
Weight: 19.15 lbs (less than 5th percentile)
(Note: Kaydence was less than happy to be at the doctors office and was crying and wiggling through all the measurements, so we think the measurements may be a bit off. The doctor want her to come back in a month or so to re-measure)

Rustin
Height: 31.5 inches (25th percentile)
Weight: 22.7 lbs (5-10th percentile)

Kyndall
Height: 29.75 inches (5th percentile)
Weight: 17.1 lbs (less than 5th percentile)
(Note: even though she is not on the charts, she is following her own growth curve and the doctor thinks she is doing fine)

Ryder
Height: 31.75 inches (25-50th percentile)
Weight: 22.5 lbs (5-10th percentile)

The boys finally got a much needed haircut! This is their third one. Virginia held Ryder the whole time and my friend Cassaundra did the cutting.

Rustin had over an inch taken off. He looks so grown up now!

Riley and Kaiya. For Valentines Day, our church does secret Valentine Families. We decided not to sign up this year, but someone in the ward appointed themselves to be our secret Valentine's anyway. This is the cookie we got on the last day---YUM!

Kaydence, Rustin, Kyndall, Ryder and Kassidy dressed in red for Valentine's Day.

Jayson's parents were in Texas for President's day weekend. They spent most of the time with Jayson's brother, Joel, who lives in Killeen, but we did manage to meet up with them for dinner at Rudy's. (Pictured: Jayson, Ryder, Kaydence, Kevin, Kyndall, Rustin, Sylvia and Kassidy)

We bought a new playscape for the kids and Jayson has been working on it every spare moment! The day we got it, a friend came over and the two of them worked for about 4 hours and they made it all the way to step #13....out of 103!!

After another full Saturday spent on the playscape, Jayson (with Riley and Kaiya's help) made it to step #70!

Ryder, Kaydence, Rustin and Kassidy with Virginia. I have mentioned before that Virginia (also known as GG) is one of my personal angels! I don't know what I would have done without her! She has helped our family so much and we consider her to be part of the family. The babies adore her---the second she walks in the door, they all attack her. Everyone wants their loves from GG!

Riley and Kaiya at the District Reflections Contest Awards Ceremony where they each won an Award of Merit for their entries. Way to go, Riley and Kaiya!!

Ryder, Kaydence and Rustin. I was trying to get some things ready for dinner and these three went and found some books and then sat down in the kitchen to watch me. It was so cute!
