Gabe's 9 mo check-up & other end-of-May stuff

I need to get on this kid's diet. In 3 mos., he gained less than a lb! Dr attributes that to his high-aerobic activity, which includes crawling faster than the current baby-crawling champion of Twin City. Also included in his latest things to drive me insane is his new trick of standing alone, with his hands in the air.
He's such a little stud.
Anyway, he weighs an oz less than 20 lbs. He's 1/2 in away from 30 inches. And his noggen is completely average (altho it looks large w/o hair). His percentiles for weight & height (respectively) are 50 & 90. TALL, TALL boy.
He got a shot & didn't so much as wince.

On Memorial Day, Flynn got to ride one of the Norris Horses, whose name is Jack. But as we drove up to Papa's house & saw the horse outside, Flynn said, "There's Jackson." JackSON. She renamed him. The amusing part tho, is that I can't think of anyone she'd know that shares that name.

The real cowboy of the story is Gabe. Who LOVES riding. He grabbed the saddle horn & reigns as if he'd done it a million times. Flynn took a ride around & said, "I want off now." She had things to do... the girls to follow around & a movie to watch.

We had a super time in Nashville this weekend. The Robinsons were the greatest hosts. They really know how to make you feel like your children aren't being rude & wrecking their gorgeous home. Tammy just kept saying, "they're fine! there's nothing they can hurt here." I just kept looking around at her showcase & thinking, "but we have pressed wood furniture."

We went to the Aquarium Restaurant which goes down into my eating establishments log. Way cool. And the highlight of Flynn's weekend was riding a "dolphin" on a carousel. She also enjoyed the lifesize bugs at the Science Center there. And had a blast playing with Grace & loving on Lauren.

Our 6 hour ride there was just a condensed preview of what our August trip to Panama City Beach will entail. All I have to say is, "Is it unethical to give the children drugs to help them sleep for a 12 hr drive?"
