Well, not much.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not sure if Nikki was going to post or not, so I might be stealing her thunder.  Sorry if that is the case, baby.  Cael was weighed today and won&#8217;t be fighting in the flyweight division anymore, if indeed he ever was.  Nope, 24lbs, 11 oz places him smack in the middle of the heavyweight division for his age.  Yes, that&#8217;s almost 25 pounds at 5 1\/2 months.  Yes, that&#8217;s a heck of a lot.  And yes, that&#8217;s almost what Quinn weighs.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately he can just about roll his massive girth over all by himself, never mind that slimmer cousins have been doing it for ages.  We have him on the &#8220;Rock Your Huge Self to Weight Loss&#8221; plan.  He watches the workout video for 10 minutes twice a day, impassively blinking and breathing.  He&#8217;s quite exhausted afterward and sleeps for hours.  Yep, imperceptible shifts in his torso as he lays flat on his back are sure to really melt those pounds off, I&#8217;m sure his next doctor&#8217;s appointment will go much better.  Really.<\/p>\n<p>Quinn is really settling into being a 2 year old.  He&#8217;s a yammering jumping climbing machine.  His latest tricks include scaling the walls in his bedroom to look out the window, and pitching fits over the smallest things.  We can&#8217;t be sure, but we think Cael is stealing Quinn&#8217;s food.  He is getting skinnier all of the time.<\/p>\n<p>And the <strong>really big news<\/strong> is Jordy&#8217;s report card came home today, and she is the proud owner of a B+ average.  While she was really hoping to get an &#8220;A&#8221;, I think she did a great job in spite of all of the bullying she put up with this year.  Way to go, Jordy!  She also got a few &#8220;excellents&#8221;, notably in Homework completion.  She&#8217;s not getting that from me, that&#8217;s for sure.  I&#8217;m very proud of her.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s all, later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boy, time sure flies when you are having fun. What do we have to say?
