Sweet Baby, Crazy Boy, Beautiful Princess

Sweet Baby...
Kinley is now 10.5 months old, how did that happen? She is crawling very fast, pulling up and walking on the furniture, standing on her own and has taken two steps. She isn't to interested in walking (I think she realizes it will slow her down for a bit). Kaya was 8.5 months when she walked and Kasen was 10 months, so that fact that she has waited this long is new territory for us. I don't mind a bit as I am holding onto as much "baby" as I can since she is our last!! She has 8 teeth, 20 pounds and 97% on height, tall girl! She has been our sickest baby yet! She is on her her 5th ear infection and 2nd bronchial infection. I am not sure what to do, I am torn between antibiotics, waitful watching, tubes as well as other remedies that are out there. Everybody has a different opinion of what is best, there are pros and cons to all. Has anybody else out there dealt with constant ear infections and what worked best for you?

We are enjoying our little girl so much, her smiles and big brown eyes bring us so much joy!!





Crazy Boy...
Kasen is officially my child! I grew up most of my life known as the "clutz" I would trip over nothing, break bones doing stupid things. Example: I broke my foot at gymnastics tripping over the bar cables, not actually doing gymnastics. I tore ligaments in my ankle in cheer practice falling off somebodies shoulders, not doing an actual stunt. With that said, Kasen is just like me, poor kid! He falls ALL THE TIME, close lines himself with his sword (don't ask :)), and recently he was getting on his bike, slipped and fell on the handle bars and gashed his face, he was not actually riding his bike. It makes me laugh so hard, sorry buddy for giving you this very obnoxious trait! With that said, he is non stop! Very busy, rarely sits still, and must being going going going. However his new thing is coming down in the morning and if I am still in bed he whispers really softly "can I cuddle with you mommy". Melts my heart, "of course you can buddy", and we cuddle for 2 whole minutes, best two minutes of my day"

His laugh and his huge dimple lights up my world, he is amazing!!

Beautiful Princess...
Kaya is 5 going on 15, she is definitely the big sister and makes sure her brother and sister know it! She has the most amazing imagination and will go into another world for hours. She is getting really good and writing her letters, drawing (we get mountains and mountains of pictures and notes every day). She is working on her letter sounds and is picking it up really quick. I think she is ready to start blending words and reading (any advice on what tools to use for this?). I am enjoying this new phase we are in with her, I often look at her and think, how did she get so big so fast!

Her bright blue eyes and her hugs and kisses make everything better!!





I really love my three gifts so much!
