Chugging Along and Chuggington

Young Master Olander is growing and growing stronger by the day.  He clocked in at 17lbs, 1oz at his 4- month appointment, which puts him in the 95th percentile.  Thanks to the chest pillow that Tante gave us, he is enjoying and getting better at tummy time.  He also is working on sitting up.  He hung out in the bumbo today, very happily, for well over an hour.

Ellis is continuing to settle into her new school.  I know she likes it because I asked her how she might feel about moving to a new place and going to a new school.  Her answer: "We could take a plane and come back to my Tubman School."  Well, at her Tubman School, my boss unveiled a new campaign to teach kids and their parents about road safety, called Chuggington.  Check it out.  All my fellow DOT folks were blown away at how well-behaved the Tubman youngsters were.  Here is Ellis coloring in the Chuggington activity book wearing a Chuggington vest.
