This Week!

This week has flown by. Reagan went to VBS for the first time and has had a blast. She sang her cute little song she's been learning all week for us after dinner tonight and she's been meeting new friends, learning new games, eating some interesting snacks and of course making crafts! I couldn't believe how hard it was for me to drop her off and leave her the first day! BUT Sydney and I have had a good time while she is gone! We've gone shopping, done puzzles, played, washed the van, and she has talked and talked and talked! Our air conditioner went out yesterday and we didn't think it was going to be fixed today, so we made the most of the day! We washed the van and then Steve came with the girls and me to pick up Reagan and we went to Chick-fil-a. Then the girls and I played for a while when we got home and once Jordyn was down for her nap Sydney, Reagan and I went to the pool for a couple of hours. It was a rough start with Sydney...but after she pooped in her pants she had a great attitude (I had to work on mine, then!). Thankfully she went outside of the pool and had a swimmer diaper on. After that we all had a blast. They actually prefer to go to the "little pool" (it's really a big pool and kiddie pool - just no slides at this one!) because there aren't any lifeguards so they don't have to get out for that 10 minutes out of an hour! They are smart little cookies!

POTTY TRAINING UPDATE:
Sydney has been doing really well potty training. She has been going by herself and hasn't had many accidents during the day. Yesterday I did leave her in her big girl panties for nap time and she peed all over everything possible on her bed...pillows, comforter, stuffed animals. She kind of seems like an all-or-nothing type of girl to me =)!

12 MONTH UPDATE FOR JORDYN:
Tuesday I took Jordyn for her 12 month check up and shots. Thankfully, the doctor said she is perfectly healthy. She weighs 20 lbs (25-50%), she is 30.25 inches long (75-90%) and her head circumference is 46.5 cm (75-90% - she has a big head just like Reagan!). She is not doing things nearly like the other two were at this stage, but she has seemed to be progressing some the last few weeks. After her appointment, I'm not concerned about her progression being a health issue...just more of a heart issue!! We'll just keep working with her, playing with her and praying for her!! She did pass out when she got her shots. It all happened so fast. I was holding her...she started turning blue around her lips...the her eyes rolled back and she went limp. I didn't freak out because it happened so fast. The nurse grabbed her from me and put her on the table and by that time she was already coming back. She just held her breath when the nurse poked her and wouldn't cry...so out she went.

She is crawling around a lot more and likes to play peek-a-boo! She started playing with her little animals this week and loves this little kitten that the girls gave her. Hopefully I'll get her to the pool sometime soon again and get her used to the water before our vacation!

Here are a couple of pictures from the pool today. I didn't get many because I was playing with the girls and they aren't too good because they were moving so fast!
