Cienna - 2 Years, 8 Months... Kaylee - 3 Months!

A little bit more mellow this month as we started with the first couple of hot days this summer which warranted blowing up the kiddy pool and Cienna quickly adapted into a water slide landing.  We went to "school" to visit with Cienna's previous and future care provider and introduce her to Kaylee.  There was another fantastic pool party at Erik and Kristen's place which we all enjoyed (especially Kaylee who just kicked it by the keg).  George and Georgia also came by for a very welcomed surprise visit as you will see in the pictures that Cienna and Georgia have just a little bit of fun together.  Mommy got her first 6 hours away from the two girls to hang at a spa with friends to kick-off Jamaica's bachelorette party (which others in the group finished down in SD).  She was amazed that she still had energy at 10:00 that night.  Her women's soccer league also started up on Sunday's for the Fall season.

We continue our ongoing home improvement with painting of interior doors (turns out it's worth buying a paint sprayer when you have over a hand full of doors to paint)!!  We also are now proud owners of our very first dining room table which we weren't quite sure how to eat without sitting on the couch and raising our coffee table.  Also built some shelving in the under stair storage to make the best of the space.

Cienna as always is absorbing more information than we could imagine.  Knows how to spell she and her sisters names and is starting on her lower case letters.  We've played a lot of pretends and hide and seek.  Books take up a large part of the day as well as arts and running around dancing laughing!  She is excited to now be able to run up her little slide and can't go high or crazy twisty enough on the swing.  We're preparing for super big roller coasters which mommy and daddy love!

Kaylee had a doctors appointment on Sept. 3rd where she weighed in at 11lbs. and 23+ inches long.  A couple of dreaded shots were no fun for any of us but, she is perfectly healthy and continues to be a complete joy to raise!  Of course, like her sister, is also a spit-up queen all day long.  Daddy and Kaylee began there bottle feedings in preparation for daycare.  They both did fantastic from the first of many bottles!  She has also rolled over, first from front to back (more like following her head over), then from back to front (one time).  She has just began grabbing onto her toys and knowing that it is her hand which she just might have control of!

Enjoy the smiles!
