Emily 15 month check up 8/20/08

Our Emmy boo had her 15 month check up today. She is 32" tall and weighs 21 lbs 9 oz , so height is 90th percentile and weight is 20th percentile, in others words tall and skinny her doctor said and doing wonderfully. My poor girl also had to get 4 more shots, two in each leg. Emily is officially off the bottle (cut her off cold turkey) and eating everything we eat and then some. She understands most everything we ask her to do like taking something to Hailey or Daddy as well as to the trash. She gives us high fives, knows where to go to take a bath and has no problem putting her hand out and grunting about getting a banana in the morning before we head out the door for school.

Hailey's dentist appointment 8/21/08

Ok we tried again at the dentist office to fix Hailey's 3rd cavity. She did good taking the sedation medication, lying down with the gas and letting the dentist check her teeth, but as soon as she started giving her the shot in her mouth she wanted up. I got her calmed down and told her she could go to MaMa and PaPa's house afterwards and she said ok and lied down again to let them try again, but again she got up freaking out. Long story short we yanked that sucker out and all was done with, so now my baby has lost her first tooth at 4 years old. She thought it was neat to look at her tooth in her pink treasure box they gave her and the whole story about the tooth fairy coming to take her tooth and leaving money behind. The tooth fairy was extra generous ($5.00) with her because she had to have her tooth pulled instead of loosing it the normal way.

My Mom's b-day outing 8/15/08

The girls and I decided to take my Mom out for her birthday down to the Riverwalk for lunch at the Rainforest Cafe (very neat place, must try & see), took a stroll along the Riverwalk, took the kiddos to the Children's Museum (the girls loved by the way, especially Emily) and ended the day with feeding the ducks and playing on the play set at Brackenridge Park. I don't know how much was for my Mom and how much was for the girls, but she said she enjoyed her day.

A whole lotta birthdays

This year we decided to have all of our July and August birthday's in one big party, so it was for my Grandma's 76th, my cousin Gavin's 3rd, my cousin Kylie's 22nd, my niece Amber's 9th, my nephew Cristian's 6th, my cousin Laura's 27th and my Mom's 53rd, so yes a whole lotta birthdays. We did a Hawaiian theme and of course I was in charge of decorations. We had crafts, games and karaoke performances planned as well as swimming and a water slide. It was a little chaotic, but fun to see everyone enjoy themselves.

Fourth of July 2008

We spent this years fourth of July in Seguin again and this time we were able to go to the parade. The girls had fun watching the floats go by and seeing PaPa Noah, Brenda and Aunt Martha. After the parade we took a walk down to the different booths and stopped by the water fountain and of course the big pecan then went to lunch and went to PaPa's house for some swimming. Later on we made it on down to the fairgrounds to watch the fireworks and then went home.

Hailey update & Emily 13-14 months old

Hailey is getting sassier and sassier each day. She is also in the stage of not wanting to clean up her room or take a bath. She gets away with it while she is at her MaMa's house, but not with Mom & Dad. Of course everything is Why? She loves listening to her Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus CD's on the way to school (only time I let her listen to it because Mommy needs a turn) and watching her National Velvet movie over and over plus others. Emily is getting so big and much more sillier like her older sister was at her age. She is playing peek-a-boo, waving bye-bye on command, shakes her head no, and sings little tunes all the time. Emily tries so hard to keep up with the big kids, but they don't always watch out for her. She has 7 teeth now, a little uneven, but hopefully she will start getting the rest in with no fuss. I have already moved her up to 18 month size clothes because she is so long and keeps growing out of her footie pajamas. Her feet are also growing a bit faster than Hailey's did at her age and she is in a size 4 already. Like her doctor said she will be tall and skinny. We are still trying to get her off the bottle, but not working out so much. Now that she holds it she wants one all day long if we let her. She will drink out of a cup for a little bit, but then throws it on the floor or plays with it. If she sees her bottle then it's all over, that's all she wants, so I guess we will just have to cut her off cold turkey.

Hailey's dentist appointment

Well Hailey had a dentist appointment on May 29th to have some cavities filled. Originally they wanted to put her under because of her age, but my health insurance wouldn't cover it, which is good because it would cost a lot for teeth that will fall out eventully and I didn't want to see her put under at 4 years old. So they gave her a "kiddie martini" they called it to make her relaxed and possibly sleep, laughing gas, and of course numbed her mouth. She did surprisingly well for the first cavity and most of the second cavity, we had to hold her down to finish that one. Since they barely finished the second, we left the third for another time. Well let me tell you, she was so mad at me after they finished that she was crying, hitting, yelling and was so hysterical because they reshaped her front teeth (where the cavities were) and plus her gums were still numb from the shots she kept telling me to take her teeth out NOW. It took us awhile to get out of the dentist office plus the parking lot, but we finally did and I got her calmed down. She was so upset that I took her to eat pizza for lunch, get her toe nails painted and took her and Emily swimming. She was much better afterwards. I'm not looking forward to the next appointment.
