Two Babies Leave Little Time for Blogging!!!

So, as you've probably noticed, I'm WAY behind on keeping up again... whoops! It just seems like we're having such a busy summer between softball, doctor's visits and just all the normal stuff that comes with keeping up with an 18 month old and a 3 month old!! The big news is that on the 14th, Paige got her loaner BAHA aid! She's doing great with it already. If you want to know more about that, as soon as I get the chance I'll put up a post on her blog about it all.

On the 19th, we worked out at Oral Hull again. (Well, Phil worked. The girls and I did a little weeding and shrub trimming for a couple hours because there is a limit to what you can do while wearing both babies. :) It was a lot of fun and Kyra LOVED the watermelon!
Paige had her 4 month check on friday (even though she technically wasn't four months until wednesday.) She did very well and the doctor said everything looks good. She barely fussed for her shots and didn't fuss at all when she got her oral rotovirus vaccine. She weighed 15lbs 2oz and was 25 inches long which puts her in the 90th percentile for both height and weight so she's balancing out and slowing down a little on the growing. (She was 98th for weight and 95th for height two months ago.)
Last Sunday Phil surprised me with a late birthday trip to the Rennaissance Fair. It was so fun! Kyra loved it too. :) She really liked the police horse that she got to pet that was parking cars. She also liked the dressage and jousting demonstration... until she noticed that there was a dog next to us to play with. He he. Her favorite part though was the blacksmith oddly enough! I can't wait to take her to another one... we'll have to try to find or make some itty-bitty garb before then.
Paige rolled over for the first time that I'd really count this last tuesday. (It was the first time on a totally flat surface so she did it all on her own and she's done it a few times since then too.) She rolls just tummy to back so far which is great so far since Kyra at first only rolled the other way and would get ticked off when she got stuck on her tummy. Of course, Paige's first true roll was when Amy was trying to get her picture on her tummy. :D Amy was very brave and tried some of the girls together too that turned out cute, if not perfectly posed. It's just not possible to take a well posed picture of an 18 month old and a 3 month old without having at least one grown up person in the picture. *lol*



We've been trying and trying to get Kyra to say "Love You". On Wednesday, she finally said it... but not to me or Phil! I was changing Paige on the couch and Kyra was entertaining her for me and I asked Kyra if she loved her sister and she looked right at Paige and said "Love you!" several times. :) She also is finally saying her own name as of yesterday. She also now says very clearly Elmo, Grover, Ernie, Big Bird, and Bert. I should try to get a video of her doing those, it's cute when she goes through her book and names them. She can't quite get Zoe yet, that's a hard one.
