Pleasant day

Kate had her 6 month check-up today. She is always a happy girl at the doctor's...why is that? I realized I left her binky out in the car when we got into a room and wondered how long it would be before Kate started screaming, but she never got upset (no shots today). She was all smiles for the doc. Kate is 25 3/4" long (50th percentile) and weighs 16 pounds (50th percentile). She is a healthy girl.

I took the kids to the playground and was pleasantly surprised to meet up with Jenn and Andrea and their kids there. It looked like it was going to rain when we first got there, but the rain held off and the kids had a great time swinging and sliding. When it did start to rain, we went over to Jenn's for lunch. What would I do without good friends?
Andrea is going to let me borrow her weight watcher's scale, which she won't need until after she has her baby in February...we're all hoping for a girl! I don't trust the scale we have. My mom likes it because it shows that she weighs less than her scale at home. I got on our scale 3 different times last Friday and I lost a pound or two each time I got on the scale. I could have reached my goal weight in no time last Friday with a few more weigh ins :-) I am definitely losing weight. I put on my capri jeans this morning, which are usually a little tight after I wash them, but this morning they weren't tight at all...love it!

Something was bothering Zach this afternoon and we thought it was a hurt finger since he kept pointing to it and saying "ow", but this afternoon he came down with a fever, so I wonder if he was feeling achy earlier. Fortunately for him he'll take medicine unlike Eleanor who had a fever a few days ago and refused to take any medicine at all. Zach perked up this evening and his fever was going away.

Kate used her big girl seat in the tub tonight for the first time...which put her in a better position to eat the shower curtain.
