meet...the girls.

Meet The Tank:
Photobucket
Otherwise known as Blake
@ 6 months
she is 26.5 inches tall
& weighs 16 lbs. 10 oz.
putting her in the 75th percentile for both height & weight.
she will destroy your face and remove your hair from your head if you are within arms reach. she will eat anything in site. she growls like a lion. she has the best belly laugh. she gives her dad's bald head a run for his money.
it's a good thing she's tough because she's preparing to undergo another surgery in about 3 weeks. she's a fighter...she'll be fine.

Meet the Drama Queen:
Photobucket
Otherwise known as Collin
@ 3 years old
she is 36 inches tall
& weighs 28 lbs.
landing her in the 25th percentile for both height and weight.
she is the queen of puzzles. the queen of rhyming and opposites. the queen of all things pink, including her milk thanks to valenitne's day.
this poor gal topped all tantrums today as she received her shots. when mom (desperate for the tears to stop), asked where we could go to make her feel better, she pathetically replied, "I just want you to make my arm stop hurting". one hour later, she still would not remove her arm from the inside of her dress. luckily, the first words out of her mouth after a 2 hour nap were, "mom, i'm all better now! NOW can we go get ice cream?"

Meet the Crazy Lady
AKA the mom
height: n/a
weight: n/a
photo: n/a
status: next time will reconsider giving a total of 7 vaccinations in one day. too many tears for one mom to handle.

Griff got his shots today too! He was a little sad till the guy said "toy" and then he was fine. But it's just not fun! Blake the tank is making me really excited for a baby. I love her bald head.

Love that tank of a girl! does your arm want to fall off yet?

Amy said...

1st I can NOT handle "the tank"!!!
2nd I can NOT handle Collin's arm in her dress...even after you were home!!!!! So funny that she thought to do that!
3rd Yes, I did happen to notice her clear pink preference while she visited us the other day. The girl knows what she likes!

Abby Runyan said...

You are going to send me to the crazy house!!! 7 shots in one day. You know how I'm feeling right about now!!!!

Hess Fam said...

Abby...I knew you'd be freaking out. In my defense (sort of) that was 7 shots for 2 kids. One got 4 (which I know scares you) and one got 3.

I'm laughing at yours and Abby's convo!

Loving every second of that little tank. I can't wait to meet her someday. My brother was called the tank all growing up.

And that drama queen sounds all too familiar...

You are seriously cracking me up right now with this post! That Blakers is the cutest little tank I ever did meet though... and Miss Drama Queen... why does she look so grown up and sassy in that picture?

And you... well you are one brave mama might I add.

1. I love your Tank.

2. My Tank is now one pond heavier than your sweet and petite 3 year old.

3. Collin hiding her arm is so funny.

4. Can the person who correctly guesses your stats get a free haircut? I say you make it a contest.

SUMMER said...

Abby- I am with you! I did two shots today (the Dr. tried to do four) for my 6 month old and cried all the way home. I HATE those darn shots. Too many toxins in too little of a body. Well... maybe the Tank will be ok...

Lisa Harris said...

Oh those girls. Blake is so dang cute. The bigger the better.
Then there is my little lovie Collin. Oh, she is such a sill pill.
I took the girls in during Goldie's 2 day appt for their shots. They hadn't been in about 2 or 3 years each. IT WAS THE BIGGEST NIGHTMARE. Never again.
You crazy lady are perfection. Don't change a thing.

natalie todd said...

LOL -kept her arm in her dress for an hour. That is too funny! Your girls are freakin cute.

Natalie Hall said...

So stinking cute!! My heck, even Cash is sitting here saying, "So cute Mama"... Keep having babies Mr and Mrs. Hess because you sure do produce darling little creatures...

Ummmm..if you are worried about Collins' weight you can send her to be fattened up over at my place. Seriously, Ellie is 2 1/2..birthday is not until July....and she is 35 pounds! I just weighed her today and was shocked!
