A relaxing trip to Big Bear thanks to Dana started last month with this years first snow adventure! Then a long and worth it road trip to visit family for Thanksgiving followed. The night we returned from traveling Kaylee lost half of her front tooth on a night walk during a routine trip over her own feet. We got the chance to visit the Ordonez's and see the great progress they've made on their farm. Porter had a little too much fun with the chicken's but I think they liked the exercise. We managed to get all the festive decorating done with plenty of time to enjoy them and the chance to enjoy each other, including walks in the rain and trips to the park. We were joyed to hear the wonderful news of Aiden Christopher Whalen arriving on December 3rd with all the Whalen's healthy and enjoying there new adventures. We even made a trip with the Geithmans so they could get a picture with Santa... no way Cienna was even going to get close to him but we all enjoyed the carousel and the Rain Forest Cafe afterwards. Daddy got to visit Uncle B for his big holiday party at his home. We ended the month with a Pirate Birthday for Carter and more family time getting ready for more holiday fun!
Unbelievably approaching 4 years old we see a kid more than a toddler everyday and are overly amazed! Cienna is not only asking WHY to every question but is really interested in the answer. She uses practical thinking vs. instinctual. Her reading is coming along without even "working" on it. She has the love for books and art. She has really enjoyed the challenge of writing all the Christmas labels for the gifts we have bought this year since the limited space makes her think of the size of letters to write. She is still as silly as ever and has a love for dancing, pretend play, and being her!
A definite step in her mom's footsteps Kaylee broke half of her tooth this month. Luckily it was still 0.1mm from the nerve and hasn't seem to bother her beside the first 30sec of the fat lip. She has mastered saying Daddy but thinks it is funny when we ask her to say Mommy instead of Mama! She has of course began to explode with mobility hence the tooth and is jumping on the trampoline and loves to swing on the bar! She also throws quite well even though it is sometimes the wrong thing in the wrong direction. Container with lids, books, puzzle and shape play toys have also began to take her interest as well!
Watching the 2 girls and Porter develop a relationship over the last month has really been the highlight! Especially with Kaylee beginning to appreciate playing with others, Cienna has taken notice and is working hard at playing along with her as apposed to with her (like she would a doll). We have all really gotten to enjoy the holiday spirit which Daddy helps keep alive with all the traditions and excitement that they should have!
Enjoy the pics from last month in hopes they improve with our new camera soon to come as a gift to ourselves!
