August 2014

Our August has been off to a crazy amazing start. Aly started Kindergarten. I can’t believe it! It was a crazy busy morning. JV and I both wanted to take her to school and walk her in. We met up with Kylie and her parents in the parking lot so they got to see each other. Even thought they are not in the same class it made a big difference in both of their days to see each other. Aly went straight into her class and was doing great, she sat down and was coloring and was just fine. No tears. I couldn’t believe it. On the second day, I was going to walk her in again, but she said “you can just drop me off” I was so shocked. I asked her again if she was sure and she said Yes. I then said “no I’ll just take you today and make sure you know where you class is and she said, “ I know, I’ll be fine!” I have to admit I was a little sad but proud all the same. She got out of the car, was a little scared but walked with the teacher and did just fine. She is still taking ballet at Great Beginnings and loving it. She is so sweet to her brother. She loves playing with him and we catch her talking to him and telling him how much she loves him and how she will never leave him. So sweet.

Aaron is also doing great. He has recently in the past two weeks started sitting up on his own. He makes it for a few mins and then eventually falls backwards. He is rolling all over the place and he is so close to crawling. He is so much fun right now, he smiles all the time and is so much happier since his ear surgery. He has had a little cold these past few weeks so there has been a lot of snot, coughing and a few rough nights. He has moved up one room at daycare. I think he was a little to big for the equipment in the baby room so they moved him up. He has been doing great in there as well.

As far as food, Aaron has had: Sweet Potatoes, Butternut squash, Avocado, Peas, Green Beans, Applesauce, Pears and Peaches. If I had to guess I would say that the sweet potatoes and peaches are his favorite. We had to take him off the oatmeal in his bottles because he got the poops really bad and had a terrible diaper rash. It took coconut oil and several other things to clear it up, but we got it.

Still no teeth but we still think its coming. He is sleeping through the night and in his crib. He slept in the pac n play for a few weeks because he wouldn’t sleep in his crib but I think we made it through that.

As for JV and I we are doing great, staying busy with work and keeping up with the house. Seems like another full time job when we get home, but wouldn’t change it or trade it for the world.
