Starting the last month off on an exciting note... Matt and Stacey are pregnant! We all took a trip down to San Diego for Casey's Birthday party. That is where Matt and Stacey made the announcement. We all had fun celebrating and hanging out. Of course we made time for trips to the park, we also started a batch of home brew (Fat Tire) clone. Pumpkin carving was a messy hit ending up with an angry alien and a kitty cat carvings. We welcomed the Ordonez's for the Halloween weekend, so we all got to play like old times. For Halloween Mommy, Daddy, and the orange and green M&M's headed to a small event at the park and then trick-or-treated our wonderful neighbors! (costumes were picked out by Cienna, even though she has never even had an M&M before, and made by Mommy)
Cienna is really doing well on "pre-reading" skills. She is recognizing over half of the sounds each letter makes and recognizing/memorizing certain words that she likes to sound out. She loves to go around and take LOTS of pictures of just about anything. Georgia coming for an entire weekend was one of Cienna's highlights. On Halloween night, Cienna got to have her first lollipop which she sucked on all through bathtime, skipping her normal teeth brushing session, and story time then we had to brush right before bed! The biggest news for Cienna was her first day of Pre-School! She couldn't have had a better time and we are certain this is a perfect fit for her. Daddy also helped Cienna memorize her home address, which is pretty good considering that we live on Charlemagne Ave.!!
Kaylee is a stomach girl this month. When placed on her back it doesn't take long before she is on her stomach just hanging out and looking around trying to find something she can "try" to crawl to. She also sleeps on her stomach pretty much all the time. She is very aware of everything going on around her and easily recognizes her name. We had her 5 month doctors appointment which went well... till the end when the shots came. (She was allright, Mommy wasn't like always) Kaylee has gotten to broaden her skills with a couple of new toys this month. She has played in the Johnny Jump-up... not quite jumping but loves to spin herself in circles! She also is fascinated with the exersaucer which lets her stand free and have full use of her hands to explore!
The girls went through there first cold of the year together, but they were troopers and didn't hold them back a bit.
