Fiona and Preston - 3 Month Photos

Fiona turned 3 months old yesterday. She has done a lot of serious growing in the last four weeks since her last doctor's appointment.
She is now 14 lbs 2 oz and 24 1/2 inches long, a gain of 2 lbs and 3 cms. Since her last update, she is up to a few new things. She started the jolly jumper a week and a half ago and is really good at bouncing around in it already. She is cooing a lot more now and likes to have conversations with people and she
has even started busting out the odd giggle here and there. Fiona continues to be a very happy baby and is generally quite easy going. She loves the JJ and will even be fussy until we put her in it. In previous blogs, I have mentioned that she has very long eyelashes. Well, they are even longer now. Compared to her siblings, she was born with very little hair and I am happy to report that her hair is growing quite quickly now too. Infact, she has more hair now than Riley had at this age, as he lost most of his hair by 3 months old.

The rest of the gang is doing great too. Grace is saying more and more words and putting words together every day. Riley is really enjoying school and the many friends that he has made there. Some of his classmates are French, so he learns a word or two from them and is eager to share that knowledge with us. As for Brodie, I am dubbing him as my official comedian. He has the funniest expressions and manners of saying everything. I made a comment on Grace's hair this morning and told her that we needed to do something with it. Brodie added, "Yeah Grace, your hair is a little crazy this morning."

As for Clay, he is doing great. He managed to make some arrangement for French training. As for his masters, he is at the final stage!!! He defended his thesis last Friday and gave an amazing presentation to his examining committee. Everything went well, and he only has minor revisions to make to his thesis publication.

We are getting very excited for our trip to England. We are wrapping up the final details of the trip such as train tickets, rental vehicle, hotels etc. It's going to be a great time.

That's it for now. Enjoy the photos from the past little while. Evelyn

Great set of pics. Brodie tried to give Riley a shiner? I noticed the cut. There is a pic in there of Riley and Brodie where I think Brodie looks so much like Riley. Sometimes I have to look for Riley's spot on his hand to be sure!
