All of the boys had their well check ups this week. As suspected all three boys have different body types.

Manny is our giant. He's in the 90th percentile for height and 50th percentile for weight. Doc said that if he continues on this growth pattern he'll be well over six feet tall at his full height.

Christian is our husky boy (like we didn't know that already). He's in the 50th percentile for height, and 90th percentile for weight.

I was concerned when I saw his weight, but Doc said not to worry about it at this point; looking at him, he doesn't look overweight and there is still a very good chance that he'll slim down naturally. If not, we'll just have to make sure he's always active. Luckily we'll be enrolling both Manny and Christian in soccer sometime this year (summer league already started unfortunately).

Jackson inherited his Lola Bauson and Grandma Palmieri's stature. He is in the 25th percentile for height, and 50the percentile for weight...poor kid, lol. I knew one of my kids was going to be a shorty, being mostly Filipino with a ~~small~~, ~~little~~, (crap, gotta avoid those adjectives, lol) sprinkling of Japanese isn't necessarily hitting the genetic jack pot when it comes to height.

Jackson also took his first steps this week; of course, he hasn't done it since, much to John's chagrin. He is also getting two more teeth, making a grand total of eight, which means that we haven't been sleeping much this last week.

^^^This has been John and I all week.

In other news, John and I are looking at homes to lease. We've been looking into the "lease to buy" option that a lot of real estate offices are doing these days. After speaking to John's mom, some other real estate friends, as well as doing our own research, we realize this is our best option for buying a home.

We've sent in the application and should be hearing back today to see what kind of homes we qualify for. Let's hope that we find something we like. I want to be out of this house by the first of August (even though our lease ends in September); we still need to sign Manny up for elementary school which means we need to know where we'll be living. If we wait until September, school will have already started.

So please, if you pray, pray that we find a home that we love and can afford. If you don't pray, please keep us in your thoughts. We need all of the positive energy we can get.

Now, please excuse me, the boys and I need to have our weekly dance party :)

ps...I've had that damn Nicki Minaj song stuck in my head all week.
