Anara giving the pumpkin a friendly pat.
Violet trying to determine which is bigger.
Friday afternoon we took the girls to Appleworks, in Trafalgar, to pick out pumpkins and enjoy the outdoors. Violet and Anara both picked the biggest pumpkins we have ever allowed. Neither of the girls took their naps so it was kind of a whiny adventure. We walked back a lane to the pumpkins and Anara kept crying about having to walk - I think her little legs get pretty tired. Overall the girls enjoyed themselves and we enjoyed being out of the city for an afternoon.Violet finding the tiniest pumpkin.
Somewhere we have a picture of 6 month-old Vi riding the "cool bus".
Yesterday Anara had a checkup with our regular pediatrician. She has put on 1 lb since April and grown 2 inches. Somehow she is still on the curve but seems dangerously close to the edge. Her pediatrician isn't concerned unless she falls off the curve altogether. He would like to see more of her water replaced with whole milk. This will be tough because she loves water and drinks much more than the average kid (probably related to either kidney function or her bowel resection).
The girls both got flu shots at yesterday's appointment. I am usually hesitant to vaccinate for flu (no real good reason why) but with Violet's asthma (which appears to be getting better Lord willing) and this new baby coming, I think the flu might be too much for us to handle. Violet kept referring to her shot as a "slingshot" as in, "Is Dr. Leland going to give me the slingshot?". Anara keeps calling her shot a "pinch" as in, "I got a pinch at Dr. Leland's."

And I was just thinking that Anara looks like she's grown so much. The girls look great and those pumpkins are huge! :)
Very cute pics! Next year I think Nina will have to go to help keep up with the 3 kids :)
