Busy Week

We've had a very busy week in the Sharp household and it is only Thursday!

Last Sunday was Toby's 10th birthday. To celebrate, Toby and Belle had a birthday Frosty Paws (new Peanut Butter flavored) and a nice bone. Toby got a big bone and Belle had a smaller version. Today, Belle has taken Toby's birthday bone and given him hers. Nothing like a controlling female in the house. Hee, hee!




Last night (Wednesday) Bailey started dance at Abbott's Performing Arts Center (APAC). She loves it! She has decided that tap is her favorite - just like her mom. Although I'm sure that has less to do with genes and more to do with the fact that those shoes make a lot of noise. I had hoped that we'd be able to go into the studio and watch but we were not allowed. The teacher said it distracts the students to have the parents in there. Once a month, she will open the blinds so we can see how our little ballerinas are doing but otherwise, we sit in the lobby watching them on a teeny, tiny TV. She is currently in an eight-week summer session but if she continues to enjoy it, I will put her in for the fall. She really is cute. It brings back so many memories of my 22 year dancing career. I'm totally looking forward to seeing her on stage in a costume next May.


Finally, today is Reese's 4 month birthday. We went to the doctor this morning and all is well. Reese wasn't as happy about being out at the doctor's office after her two shots but they are necessary. The doctor is very happy with her progress. She weighs - hold your breath - 18 pounds, 12.8 ounces (off the chart) and is 25 1/2 inches long (90th percentile). She is doing really well and we will get to start cereal this weekend. We'll do cereal in the morning for 2 weeks, then go to twice a day for 2 weeks, and at 5 months we'll start one serving of veggies a day and one serving of cereal a day. I know she will enjoy having some real food as she was trying to grab my spoonful of jello yesterday. She also has rolled over from her back to her tummy once every day since Monday. She isn't doing it consistently but I'm sure it takes all her effort just to get one roll. She is a little...chubby!

That's all the happenings for now. I'll update for our cereal adventure soon!
