Six month stats

We have been busy since the last post. Cullan got his six month photos taken and his six month check up. His stats are length-28.2" (93%), weight-17.11 lbs (50%), and head- 17.5" (66.4%).  His total BMI is at 22%. I feel like his weight has leveled off, which is good. He is pushing out of his 12 month jammies and 9 month onesies. He is in 9 month pants for length but his waist is still skinny. His legs are so chubby so I'm thinking he is carrying 13 pounds just in his legs. :)


I left for work Saturday morning and by the time I got home Keegan had a fever and was coughing really bad. Dan took him to Children's Hospital ER on Sunday night as he was having trouble breathing. Since he was 13 months old he developed a cough every winter and we wanted to get the best care possible since a lot of times when we take him in they just give him a band aid solution just to get him through the night. He ended up with croup but they gave him a steroid to stop the infection in his throat..yes his throat. Apparently croup has nothing to do with the lungs and since he has such a small throat anyways (anyone at 5 would), the cough was horrible due to the small airway. He didn't have school on Monday being MLK Day, which couldn't have been better timing. 



Now about me...I had an interview last Wednesday for a therapy center in Burnsville. I got called back for a second interview and to meet more staff members but after much consideration and weighing the costs of full time daycare, I decided to call and tell them that I wasn't going to be meeting with them on Tuesday. They ended up calling me back saying they were really close to offering me the job but once I explained the situation, they understood and said they might consider me in the future if it's the right timing for the both of us. I have decided to stay working at Lifetime Fitness for at least the next year. This way I will be available to drive Declan to preschool next year and help out as needed with Keegan's Kindergarten. I am stepping back and realizing that right now I need to be mom and not advance my career. And who knows, there may be a great opportunity that presents itself at Lifetime! One never knows what the future holds!

Tomorrow night we go to Keegan's Kindergarten meeting. Wow....

  1. The youngest might be the biggest! He will find a way to keep up with his big brothers no problem. (You need to post a naked pic of those chubby legs!)

    Sounds like sickness has made its course through your family. Hoping for a healthier spring!

    What was the position for at the therapy center?
