Yep, Faith is 18 months old now, believe it or not! Last week Fred and Lindsey (M-W nurse) took Faith to the pediatrician for her check-up and shots :( I wasn't able to go because I had meetings at work I couldn't miss. She weighed in at 25 lbs and 31 3/4 inches which puts her in the 60th percentile for weight and the 50th percentile for height (and 80th %ile for head circumference which is right in line with our family pattern of big heads!). To be honest I'm a little concerned that her weight went from 25th to 60th in just 3 months but Fred thinks its good since she will probably have a hard time keeping it on when she goes through her surgeries in the next year or two. I'll wait for her next appointment in a couple months to see if its still going up or stabilizing before I decide to worry too much about it.
We had a great time when Margaret, Maddie and Jared came to visit last week! Maddie and Dana spent all their time together, either in Dana's room, at the mall, or playing with Faith and Anthony. Anthony absolutely loved having Jared around who was great at entertaining him! Ryan and Lauren both got to visit with everyone as well and Fred and I especially enjoyed getting time to catch up with Mog.
On Easter, I got some nice pictures of Anthony and Faith and will try to get those uploaded soon. My video camera died that morning but not before I got some video of the kids finding eggs and singing to some Easter cards Aunt Vicki sent - they absolutely loved them (we all did)!!!
I'm in Philadelphia this week for work and will be back out in May - with Anthony! We will fly into DC on Friday, May 9th, very late, and then I will leave Anthony with M&D (thanks!!!) on Monday and Tuesday while I drive up to PA for work and to meet with one of the craniofacial surgeons at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) about doing Faith's jaw reconstruction. We will fly back to CO on Wed, May 14th, just in time for Ryan's 18th birthday on May 15th!
On Saturday, May 17th, Faith will be baptized and Michael Ranieri and Vicki generously agreed to be her god parents. Both of them as well as Mom & Dad Kargoll will make it out for that weekend! Vicki passed down Heather's baptism gown and it looks like it will still fit (says 6-18 months, but I haven't tried it on her yet).
The week after all that, Ryan is graduating from High School!! His graduation ceremony is on Friday, May 23rd and Karen is planning a bar-b-que on Saturday the 24th. Once the weekend is over, Fred will be headed to Las Vegas with his NY buddies on Wednesday, May 28th!
WHEW!!! Just when it might look like things will settle down, I get to go to Spain on June 21st! I can't wait!
Love always,
Robin
