October 2021

Kenna-Rae has been rocking the potty training! We have had some bumps connected to the potty training coming from a big change (such as some really big feelings), but she has been doing so well. We had our first concerning fever for Kenna-Rae

Violet is sitting up well with very little support. She had her 4 month immunizations, which are always harder on us grown ups.

A sinus cold has worked it's way through the house. 

Aaron saw the neurosurgeon and they do not do surgery on Aaron's specific bulge. He is feeling hopeful that a good physio routine will have him feeling better with some time and dedication to it.

So here is a little comparison of the kiddos wearing the same outfit. This is Violet at 4 months and Kenna-Rae at 8 months!

September 2021

Okay, so I think we are getting the hang of this family of 4 thing... no not for real, I'm just kidding! We are still a couple of adult zombies, trying to put one foot in front of the other. Aaron is currently off work due to back issues. he has been diagnosed with both degenerative disc disease and a bulging disc, the latter of which has been causing him a great deal of pain. We are waiting for an appointment with the specialist to see what will be the plan of action for that.

Kenna-Rae has mastered the 30 piece puzzle and started potty training at the end of September.

Not sure how it's gone by so quickly, but it's 3 months for Violet being here in the big world with us. September saw our first poonami incident, which happened to be in the car seat on the way home from the Pediatrician's office, and Violet rolled from front to back. She is weighing in at a solid 15 pounds!


  Kenna-Rae is still obsessed with big trucks and diggers. Nanny Tabi often takes her around the neighborhood to watch the new construction comings and goings:)

Violet is chewing on everything

Not yet tired form her big adventure it was home to the backyard for more play


Kenna-Rae and I have been getting out several afternoons, while Aaron attempts to get Violet to take the bottle. Not much success in the bottle department, but Kenna-Rae and I are sure enjoying the quality time together.


 

What do you mean this 6 month old outfit is a bit snug on me?
 
Waking up looking like she just stepped out of a salon, haha.
