Cole had his nine month checkup at the doctor's today. These are always very quick since we don't vaccinate, but I like going for the "official" measurements and so social services has a record of our children being seen by someone in the medical establishment in case they ever decide we're negligent parents. Anyway, Cole weighed in at a whopping 20 lbs., 4 oz. (50th percentile) and is now 30 1/4 inches long (90th or 95th percentile). That's basically what Accalia weighed at a year, but I'd have to go back and look at her height.

We also did a little grocery shopping, ran through the ATM, dropped off bills and got things set to have Lucy boarded next weekend for Accalia's birthday campout. I'll probably be writing more about Lucy in the weeks to come, but I don't want to do it now until more things have been decided.

One of Accalia's current favorite books/cds is Sandra Boynton's Philadelphia Chickens. Her books are really cute, and Accalia has enjoyed them for quite a while. We're slowly getting a collection of her books.

I think Accalia's really going to like another book I recently acquired. The Storytime Craft Book is just perfect for her because it combines her love of crafts with all of these stories she knows so well.
