Jocelyn was in the doctors office for her 6 month check-up yesterday. Our "short one" that was only 75% last doctor visit has now topped the charts at over 100% for height, go volleyball! Her stats for this visit were:

27 7/8" height
18 10.5 lbs.
16 1/2" head circumference

Jocelyn is such a joy and delight. She is thinking about crawling, gets up on hands and knees and rocks and moves a little. Aubrey introduced her to "Lilly", a singing/talking frog. She gets such a kick (ha-ha) out of it when the frog starts to sing. Also started her on baby food dinners and puff cereal. Loves both, but we wouldn't expect anything less, she is a Holman baby.

Le Tour De France

This is in honor of those that watched the many days of biking (shout-out to the Willis clan). Last night in honor of le Tour de France finish we had a F.H.E. on the importance of bicycle riding. Aubrey taught the lesson and told us how we could all benefit from riding a bicycle. Afterwards our bike mechanic checked tire pressure, lubed the chains, adjusted bike seats and handle bars. I wonder when Lance last checked his own bike seat?

Sous Chef's

My girls favorite t.v. channel is food network, weird? I don't know. They love to watch any show that is on that channel, most fav recently has been, "Next food network star." When Rob saw these aprons/chef hats on a recent work trip he knew they were a must. The girls have loved wearing them around the kitchen while they help cook. This morning the menu was pancakes, cheesy eggs and orange juice. The more we let them help the better they are getting. This morning Madison cracked five eggs with no shells landing in the bowl, impressive!

Bed Head

This is the best kind of bed head to have, just awoken from an afternoon nap waffle blanket bed head!

Baby Killer

Jocelyn has a new fascination this week...baby dolls. Well actually just one baby doll, this poor little doll has been slobbered, kissed, and clawed more in the past week that in it's entire life.

Take out the eyes, then the nose

Victory!

And then the look of surprise, "I have done nothing!"

I'm bacckkk!

I'm sure that my four followers have missed my weekly reports. I am back, this summer is going by to quickly. Four weeks worth of company, made for a great, fun and busy first half of summer. My kids are sad to see them go, Jocelyn was sad to see her baby passers leave and Rob and I are sad to see our late night game and popcorn buddies head for home. Our door is always open and we can't wait for our next set of company. Our family enjoyed July 4th celebrations in downtown D.C. complete with bbq. picnic, music and fireworks.

Aubrey is full of more spunk each and everyday. Sad to see her growing up, getting used to the attitude!
