The boys, by the numbers

Peregrine and Lysander had their check-ups on Friday. They're both doing just great and making big advances. The doctor was very impressed Pip could put on his own undies and pants, and Ly is really good at tummy time!
For those of you who just want absolute values: Peregrine grew two inches in the last six months, he's now 1m (3' 3.25") and gained a whopping half pound (!) in that same time; he's a 33 pound bruiser :) . He's about 80%ile height and 50%ile weight.
Ly is holding true to recent Munson/Klyn norms: 90%ile length, 30%ile weight, and 50%ile head. He's 15 1/2 pounds and 2' 3".

July, July, July!

Wow. July was a busy month. Feels like we could hardly take a breath. Just a few of the amazing goings-on:
-Went to the Evergreen State Super Speedway for their July 4th extravaganza! Which was LOUD. Saw lots of racing, crashing, and Sky and Peregrine got to ride in a monster truck!
-Uncle Ziad, Aunt Amy, Cousin Willow, and Cousin Elliot came to visit for a few days as part of their cross-country trip. Lots of fun spending time at Alki Beach and Seward and Discovery Park. It was a really nice visit for all involved. I think the highlight for Peregrine was getting to fly kits at our park around the corner - Jefferson Park, which has been a popular kite-flying locale for generations! In a truly handy fashion, theres a very nice family who are often there selling kites, you know, just in case you forgot yours. :)
-Uncle Thaddeus, Aunt Erika, and Cousin Nora came for a few days the very next weekend. We had a great time showing them around the city, including Pike Market, downtown, and riding the Duck Boats! I don't think I've seen Sky and Tvor laugh so hard in my life - the driver was quite the character!
-Taj, Lysander, and Peregrine spent the day at the Dragon Boat Festival and the center for wooden boats. Those dragon boats are pretty fast and very cool!
-We all went to the ballpark to watch the Marines beat the Twins with our friends Jason, Kristin, and baby Morgan. Thanks to some quality noise-blocking earphones, Lysander and Morgan even had great naps!
Plus, of course, lots of stuff I don't even remember that well. A busy month for sure...

Milestone!

We went out last night for a celebration! We were celebrating Peregrine having 5 nights in a row without peeing in his bed at night. Four of those nights he went all night without peeing, and one night he woke himself up to go to the potty! Big deal for our three year old, so we went out to Lil Woody's for cheeseburgers and milkshakes, and then walked down to the cinema to see 'Turbo', about the snail who races in the Indy 500. While I would not necessarily recommend it myself, Peregrine thought it was great. (And thanks to his headphones, Lysander slept through almost the whole movie!)

Hooray for Peregrine!
