Aliya's 4 month check up

13 lbs (25%) 24 inches long (50%) Her head is in the 95%-Just like Briggs a huge head. I remembered a funny story when they told me her head was so big. When Briggs first started to walk, we lived in Orem at the time, his head was so big he would walk past things, (like a bed, the couch) and he would have to lay his head down to rest. hahahahah It was such a funny sight-he would toddle by the couch playing and carrying on then as he was moving set his head down, ear down, only for a moment then continue on his journey. Too funny. I wish I had a picture to show you to see it.
You guys are so funny with the names your coming up with for the jewelry naming contest. I cackled really loud to the vandaley-obviously! This is fun-keep going.
Ok so those with seasoned children; is there a way to get your kids to get a long or to not fight and argue over every little thing? I feel I am doing something wrong. BIG TIME! I guess I need to pick my battles, and be more patient with them when I know they miss there dad. If anyone has any advice. Maybe I could start over.....that would be awsome. Too many regrets and not enough appretiation.
Anyone want any zucchini? For some reason we planted 2 bushes. Ahhhhh! I don't know what else to do with it! Do you have any recipes. I would have rather of had pumkins! I LOVE HALLOWEEN! It's getting close! not really :(

my gabey has a large head too. he got that from me :) all of my others have small petite very round heads....they got that from, well, their dad :) i guess that we big heads just hold more brains!

as for the arguing...you aren't doing anything wrong. kids do that. there is just not a whole lot that you can do! i have been dealing with it for years now! i just pick my battles and let them work out the others. one of my kids friends mothers (did you get that?) is always meddling in their kids lives...if the kid gets in a fight with their friend, she is on the phone asking what it was about and trying to work it out for them. i know that isn't exactly what is going on with you, but it just shows that sometimes kids need to learn to work things out themselves. let them argue it out. as long as their are no punches thrown that hurt, then you are ok!!

you are a fantastic mother!!

What Chelon said.

If that doesn't work, then, duct tape.

I'll take some zucchini ;) I think you are a great mom, kids just fight and i don't think you can change it. Whenever my kids start getting into it I try to distract them with other things, it doesn't always work but worth a try.
