Strong Healthy 4 Month Old


Sorry that it's been quiet around here. We're keeping busy and doing well. Rob went to Washington DC for a week in June for a conference (paid for by his employer) and my hands were too full to get any blogging done then for sure. :)

Our days seem to be full even when nothing is scheduled. Lots of outdoor play going on and the volunteers have really come out of the woodwork here at Hillcrest. We've had sidewalks and a garden put in over the last month, and a group brought in 2 SUV's and a truck full of groceries last week!

The little ones are great - both ornery as can be! Aidan seems to have officially turned TWO. We're dealing with more tantrums than we knew were possible from our calm little guy. Cora is NOT calm. lol! She's definitely outgoing. It's great for Aidan to get a reaction to his antics, and I think it's helping him deal with jealosy. They sure do adore each other! I love hearing them "talk" to each other in the backseat while we drive.

Cora is still a nursing champ - she gets the job done quickly and moves on to something new (very different than Aidan) - her size is evidence that she's getting all she needs! Every time we are out we see 6, 8, and even 10 month olds that are the same size as Cora.

She's getting stronger, too. She's almost ready to start sitting up. :) I'll leave you with a video and some photos of our little one.

Cute video! Aidan is starting to sound like Eli with that grunting & refusal to say good-bye...Eli would have added the finishing touch of SPITTING the juice out at the camera, though....;)

The aunt and uncle watched the video, and tomorrow it'll be on replay once the kids get ahold of it. :) Loved seeing them both. Sorry to hear that the orneriness is here already. Kids. :P Love you!

Cute! I love watching her different facial expressions as she discovers things. And Aiden is getting so big! Where does the time go???
