This was another big week of firsts for the Fields Family!
Karis had her 1 month appointment (at the tender age of almost 6 weeks old). She weighed in at 10 pounds 5 ounces, which is a weight gain of 2 pounds 5 ounces. She also grew 2 inches and is now 22.5 inches long. If you are a stat fan that places her in the 75th percentile for length and 50th percentile for weight. She took her shot like a trooper; didn't even accept the lollipop her big brother suggested as a reward.
She still sleeps through most of the day, but will hang out for an hour or so in the morning and a little longer in the afternoon and is most happy in our arms. She does like to fuss right around dinner time until she's down for the night. She sleeps from 9:00ish to about 1:30 a.m. which is her longest stretch, but I have the darnedest time putting myself to bed which I suffer for later. After her 1:30 feeding she usually wakes up at 3:30 and 5:30.
I love her big eyes. They seem to open so big and bright, but maybe that is in direct relation to her sweet cheeks getting rounder and rounder, pushing up on her eyes. Ha! Someone told me last night that she has my eyebrows which is kind of funny considering you can hardly see hers and I have to pencil in mine!
Let's see some things I especially love about Karis right now: how her hair fluffs after I wash it, her extra soft baby hands, how the bottom of her toes look like baby peas, all those baby sounds (nursing, sleeping, waking up), how I can take her anywhere in her car seat and she sleeps, and when she protests about being in her swing she cries in sync with the motion of the swing... My girl has rhythm!

Wednesday Jackson had his 1st field trip. His preschool class met at Fruit Hill Orchard and everyone picked a peck of apples. He was so excited and ate more than his share, that's for sure! We had a great time and learned how apples grow too.
Our good buddies from church also go to school with us. Momma Kat is a national superstar. You should check out the show she produces with her husband: www.redarrowtv.com/pics.html
That very same day...
Caroline came home with another missing tooth! It fell out on the bus ride to school. She wrote the Tooth Fairy a letter asking for "sum mashic dus." The Tooth Fairy was apparently all out of magic dust, but she did leave two Sacajawea coins this time!
