Swimming fun!

The kids were so excited to finally get outside to use their new pool!!

That's Dylan's head.....he rarely stood up! ;-)

Eva played in her pool for close to 2 hours!!

Dylan figured out how to jump into the pool......

And now it's Kira "attempt!"  Love this girl!

Conversations with Eva!

Eva's weight check

Last Friday I took Eva in for a weight check.....she weighed just over 20 lbs...I think it was 20 lbs 1 oz to be exact!  I was hoping that she would have gained a little more since she still hasn't gained a pound since 9 months but I think she has gotten longer too.

We are going to keep giving her the EleCare and Neocate Junior formulas and hope that she continues to gain.  Her next weight check will be at the end of August when I take her for her 18 month well child appointment!

18 months?!?!?  YIKES!

Just a few pics....

Eva is starting to stand more and more...she had pulled to stand a few times then stopped but the last couple of days she's been pulling to stand a lot more!!

Chessy grin!

And Kira told me "No pictures Mom!  I really don't want you to!"  Al-righty then!

Dylan went to the carwash today...

No, wait, Dylan went to the dentist today.

He climbed right up in the chair and I thought maybe we were in the clear......

But this cheesy grin is actually a picture of him AFTER his teeth were counted and cleaned by the nurse....at which time I couldn't take a picture because he was on my lap.  He liked that she talked about how his teeth were going to the carwash....clean, rinse and shine BUT he wasn't able to lay down in the chair, even with a movie playing on the screen on the ceiling.  I didn't real care as long as he was willing to let her do her thing!

So look at those shiny teeth!

BUT he was more than willing to lay in the chair for Dr Tony!  No clue what's up with that!

No cavities...everything looked great!

"Yoga was great!"

Kira started her yoga class today and after having a complete breakdown when the very small lobby very quickly filled up, she was able to pull herself together and really enjoy the class.  It's a great set up for her...very small class. They basically run the class around the story of the day.  It works great for Kira because there's active time, then time to listen to a page or two, then back to being active.  It still wore her out.  No pictures today but hopefully next week I'll get some.

Tomorrow morning it's Dylan's turn to go to the dentist....I can see this appointment going really well or not so well!!

I'll update tomorrow!!

4th of July....

Happy 4th of July!

We don't have any plans today but had a great time last night with my friend, Jessie and her boys, Colin and Ethan.  Colin and Kira are about the same age and Ethan and Dylan are so they seem to really enjoy spending time together!!  We had a beautiful evening and the kids enjoyed playing in the backyard!!

Eva enjoys the "safety" of her own pool! :-)

This is Eva's new "pose" when she sees that you are taking her picture! :-)

HUNGRY kids!  We went through 8 hotdogs with 4 kids! :-)

Ethan and Eva share the "fun" for food allergies so Jessie made a cake that everyone could enjoy...Eva seemed a little shocked that she got to have some! (notice that she is posing again!)

Colin getting a workout!

Today we got the kids a new pool...it's bigger than I was expecting but they loved it!  Definitely have more room!

Eva taking it all in.....

So, so proud of Kira....seriously proud of her!

Sparkly clean teeth!
