Things are moving along...

OK, so I took posted some comparison shots of the kids around the same age. They are out of order, but I am not going to redo it to put it in order :) So here are some new and older pictures.

Ok so this came way out of order. This was around the same age as Kayley is on the tummy picture below. This is Kaiden at about 6 months. Abby looks like an exact "mix" of Kayley and Kaiden together :P

As part of Kayley's princess for the day adventure, we had a little tea party after :)

Kayley got to be "princess for the day" at the mall. I got her a dress, then took her to get some jewelry, nail polish, lunch, then ice cream.


I thought these 2 pics were funny. The top one is Abby doing the same exact thing Kayley used to do (below picture is Kayley around 6 months) above is Abby at 4.5 months.


Clint took Kaiden to Dutch Wonderland for the day. Kaiden had a blast! He got to choose whatever activities he wanted all day long.
So a little bit of an update.
Abby: She is 15 lbs now. She is about ready to crawl. She can get up to the crawling position, but just rocks back and forth. She is only 4 months! She started on solids. Although the last couple of days she wants nothing to do with solids. She rolls across the floor now as well. She has been having some sleep issues, so we started sleep training. She is now sleeping in her crib for naps, rather than on me in the rocking chair. She has only been getting up once at night to eat.
Kayley: She thinks she is a princess, and frankly, she acts like one. She is a bunch of fun though. She loves all things Cinderella now. Especially the movie. We must watch that at least once a day, sometimes more.
Kaiden: Well, this little man. I tell ya. It's always something. The most recent, he's going to have to wear glasses. He is far sighted in his right eye. The doc says if he wears his glasses regularly, then his eye could "repair" itself. I guess if his eye relaxes, the damage with focusing so much can be undone. We'll see. He is also partially deaf in his right ear. He goes back to the doc to see why he has fluid behind his ears, and if tubes will help with the hearing.
Clint: Getting closer to retirement. He is headed to Utah in August to go look for houses for us. We put in an offer on one, but it looks like there are multiple offers, so we likely won't get it. It's rather frustrating. He will be going to Buffalo in Oct. to be with his brother for a few days. They are supposed to go see a Bills game together...bleh! LOL.
I am doing well. Still nursing Abby. I am slowly losing the pregnancy weight. Not as fast as I would like. I have about 15 lbs to lose to get where I feel comfortable. I had been exercising regularly, but was not losing any weight. Then it got to be 90+ degrees. I'll get back to it again in the fall :) I know, excuses excuses. But it's nearly impossible to exercise in the house with 3 kids getting under my feet. It's too hot outside. After the "instant weight loss" from birth. I have lost 11 lbs since. Just a little more to go.
Take care :)
