~UpDaTe~

We have been busy this month!

Abby has tried another meat (turkey). She absolutely hates it! So we have laid off trying meats. She has been eating everything else just fine :) She just recently started eating the baby puffs and loves them! She has been doing the army crawl and she is saying dada dada! She has also starting drinking her bottles out of a sippy cup! :)

Brooklyn is excited to go back to school next month! She has been helping feed Abby her snacks and helping getting Abby to moving around on the floor by playing with her! Such a big sister! We had a girls day/ bday for Alli this month. Took the girls to get their nails done,eat lunch and then off to fun run! We didnt stay long cause Alli got a burn on her arm from playing on the slide so we took her home and then came home to get ready for vacation!She is also has picked out her bday party for sept and its going to be hannah montana!Overall Brooklyn has been a great big helper for mommy and daddy! :)

We just recently got back from our family reunion we go to every year. We had alot of fun relaxing and enjoying the stress free environment! The girls had fun playing in the pool and Brooklyn actually got papa to get in with her! First for her and couldnt tell you the last time i seen my dad in a swimming pool! Brooklyn is doing alot better on learning to float and swim on her own with her barbie life jacket. We all enjoyed the homemade ice cream on friday night! Brooklyn had lots of fun playing with different cousins and the kiddy auction! Saturday night was pic night of the families so we had to wear our family color(which ours is purple) Sunday we headed home and we stopped by Jacob's cave on the way home.
This was a first for the girls! Abby enjoyed being in the stroller walking threw the cave and then Brooklyn on the other hand had to be carried the WHOLE way threw and the WHOLE way back! She didnt like the dark!

Took Abby to the dr today and dr said she is great! Abby is definately teething. She is 19lbs 6 oz and 27 1/2 in long- she is sliming down on her weight and not gaining as fast but she is going to be a litte tall girl :)

~Baby food~

Why does baby food have to smell like dog food??? It's nasty to think my child is eating this but she is! Abby just finished off her first jar of chicken baby food. She started on the jar yesterday and she ate it and then finished it up tonight with pears. She is doing great eating baby food. She is just like Brooklyn. She eats anything! :) The other day when we finished getting the rest of her jars- we debated on getting her a couple jars of meats to see how she would react to them. Well now we know! Next is turkey! She has been eating more and more baby food and loving every bit of it! :)

update

Abby is learning more on sitting. She has been sitting by herself on the floor for 30 to 45 mins and then gives in and falls over. Tough little girl she doesnt cry :) In the walker she has learn to move her legs and push off and go forward! :) instead of always going backwards! Her teeth are still bothering her but they are coming in more and more every day, you can officially see the 2 when she smiles and gets fustrated- when she gets fustrated she loves to wrinkle her nose- too cute

Brooklyn still same Brooklyn. Trying to keep her on track with things she learned at school and writing her name. She still loves aggravating her little sister!



Cant wait for vacation in july! :)

Abby and Brooklyn

Quick update- Abby has her second tooth! :) She is rolling over more and more and she has gotten better on sitting up with something helpin her. No other signs of her sittin up on her own yet. She is still moving around on her belly more and more but no usin her knees and arms and crawling. No other news on her!

Brooklyn- not much going on with her other than she totally cant wait for her friend Macynna to come in. Tomorrow is the big day! She is still wondering why she hasnt went back to school yet. She hasnt gotten the consept of a summer break. She still cant make up her mind on what she wants to do for her birthday party! Cant believe she is almost 5 yrs old!

Times flying by!

BUSY BUSY BUSY

Seems here lately we are always so busy! Busy working or doing something else- well this month is going by so quick- we had Abby going to the dr left and right before her appt @ childrens mercy- then Abby's trip to childrens mercy- Brooklyn's last day of school- Alaina Mae Leslie arrives :) - preschool field trip to the zoo- and the list goes on!


-Abby-
last night we were sitting here relaxing and Abby was laying on the floor playing rolling around- and she had a pink bear- it was so cute watching here cause she was trying to attempt to get it and using all her might- she used her legs to push off but would not use her arms to help her move instead she was using her stomach- she would wobble side to side on her tummy and use her legs to push off- wonder if she will ever attempt to crawl since she knows she can get somewhere with her belly???????

Brooklyn's last day of preschool!

Yesterday was Brooklyn's last day and we were able to go due to Abby's appt not taking very long. They didnt go to the park since it had rained and muddy. They sang songs for us and recieved a certificate and a medal. Brooklyn played with all her friends and had a good day. I dont think it has set in on her that she doesnt go back for awhile! She will go back next year and go mon- weds- fri in the mornings. We have learned as well she has split her class up and not all of her friends will be in her class next year. Thats ok she will make new friends and meet up with all her other friends in kindergarten. Overall she has had a great year and she has learned so much. She has learned many new songs,shapes,colors and count to 30 and she learnt how to write her name! She loved having Mrs. Padgett has a teacher and is looking forward to her next year as well!

*Abby's trip to Childrens Mercy*

Yesterday was Abby's apt at childrens mercy. We dropped Brooklyn off at Aunt Peggy's house at 8:30 and made our way there. We got there about 9:45 and made our way in. Got checked in to the radiology dept and about 10 mins later we were back in the room. They wanted to try without sedation first and it was a success! :) Baby girl was a big trooper and held still long enough to do the scan and not have to be sedated! They took her and wrapped her up in a blanket and then strapped her down and even her head and thats when she fussed and then once it began a lady sat there and kept her company and played,sang to her and Abby just watched! They brought out sugar water to dip her binkie in but as we know she wont care for it. She wouldnt even drink apple juice so why would she take sugar water! They finished with the scan and now we had to wait on Tompkins office to call us with the results.
That afternoon i recieved a call on my cell phone from them and i called them back and they told me it came back normal! :) Abby is just blessed with a big head!
