Happenings...

Time for a family update!

Meagan is very mobile, at least in the rolling department. If she sees something she wants (she's especially fond of the TV cords), she rolls until she gets there, or gets stuck. She has quite the personality and if you laugh at something she is doing, like babbling or singing, she will do it more and even louder to really get you laughing. I seem to have finally gotten rid of her cradle cap for good! I first soaked her head in coconut baby oil, combed out all the cradle cap, and have switched to Aveeno baby wash which is soap-free and seems to be keeping the cradle cap away! Sleep was getting better. Earlier this week she only woke up once per night, then she had one night where she didn't wake up at all, and now the last two nights she is back to waking up every 2-3 hours all night.





We still haven't moved the girls in together but are planning on doing it tonight or this weekend. If it doesn't work, we will have the pack n play set up in either the living room or our room as a backup.

Kaitlyn is finished her first year of preschool. What a difference from her first day of preschool. She was so shy and the class was mostly boys, plus she was the youngest. My heart broke a little leaving her there as I was used to leading her through things, and thought I needed to be there for her to learn new things and make new friends. Nope. She did just fine all on her own. She made some great friends and learned so many new things. When writing out the card to her teacher on the last day, she insisted on writing her own name. I had to guide her through it, but she did it. Something we will definitely practice over the summer since she really wants to do it! The year-end program was disappointing with Kaitlyn standing there, arms crossed, or lifting her dress to flash the audience, but pretty much not cooperating the entire time. Oh well - next year is the big one where she will wear her cap and gown and get her diploma :)



Ryan and I are doing well and catching up which relieves so much stress in the house. Ryan works so hard for this family and still does so much when he gets home, I am astonished somedays that he has the energy for it all. I also overheard a conversation next door where it sounded as if they were contemplating selling. Fingers crossed - if that happens, we will definitely be renting out our suite again to relieve some more financial pressure!



So there is our long overdue update :)
