BFF

Here are all of our children except Samantha's 2 little ones, Sarah and Rachel.

 

Back in the day

 

 

No more headbands

I think we are done with these cute little headbands. She pulls it off as soon as I put it on her head. In the last picture she was trying to put it back on.

 

10 months

My sweet baby can't be 10 months already:( Knowing she is my last makes every milestone a little sad. She was 10 months on the 22nd and still haven't gotten around to taking pictures. Hopefully today I will be able take her out for a photoshoot.

MILESTONES

* She can "patticake" (that's how us southerners say it)

* She loves to play peek-a-boo by holding a blanket up over her face. She usually peeks out of one side like you can't see her. Too sweet!

* She can wave but she waves her entire arm and when she does, she puts her head down and shakes her head too. It's so funny!

* She has learned to shake her head "no" when she doesn't want something.

* She is crusing along everything.

* She ADORES her big siters and I'm not sure who entertains who more. They all 3 crack oneanother up.

* She gives me a hug by laying her head on my shoulder, making the SWEETEST noises, and pats me. It melts my heart, especially when I don't ask her to do it.

* Her favorite time of day is bathtime. The child LOVES the water and she loves to take a bath with her big sisters.

* At her last Endocrinology appointmnet, we got our first normal thyroid reading after trying her on a little more meds:) YAY! I was so excited! This time she gets to go 2 months between labs instead of 3 weeks:)

* I took her to stride rite and had her feet measure and shoes tried on. She has never worn shoes before but I know she will be walking soon and it will be getting fall and she will need them. Needless to say, the child had a tantrum.

* I'm not sure of her height and weight. She seems to be thinning out a little. Notice, I said A LITTLE:) She still has some chunky legs:) She has had really bad diarrehea for the past 3 weeks so I think she is still around the 20 lb mark. It is finally getting better.

* She can say "MA MA"

This child melts my heart and I thank God for my little unplanned blessing:)

Shoes

I have never found it necessary to put shoes on Kinsley but I know the time is approaching when she will indeed need to wear them, so not thinking anything of it, I took her in stride rite today to have her feet measured and try on some shoes. When the lady went to put shoes on her she absouletly had a fit like I've never heard before. The poor baby SCREAMED and had tears running down her face. It may sound mean, but I had to laugh. As soon as we took the shoes off, she was fine. I am really in for it in a couple months when she has to start wearing them. I think I am going to start with some socks and putting shoes on her a little each day. The baby has lab work done every month and doesn't cry like the did with the shoes. Any suggestions??

Do you want a good laugh??

Watch this...

Pool Party

Happy 8th Birthday to one of the most special little girls I have ever known, Jasmine! This child has endured so much through her 8 years of life and has amazed doctors, nurses, and everyone around her. They never thought she would ever make it this long. Just being in the same room with this child will make you smile. She is such a blessing! Jazzie had a major milestone a few days before her 8th birthday...she sat up all by herself for 8 mins. WOOO HOOO JAZZIE!!!! We all love you:)
