Milestones

Yes, the teeth are now coming quick.  She lost another today on the way home from school while she was eating chips.  She’s brave enough to pull them out on her own now without hesitation.

Her new teeth are coming in just as quickly as the old ones are coming out as well.

We are proud to say that Avery is officially potty trained!!!

It took her some time and multiple different toilets, but in the end she got it all down.  Repetition and positive reinforcement really encouraged her to take this big step to be like her big sister.  We are lucky that both of the girls were relatively easy to train.

Sure we had some tough moments with Avery, but in the end she took to it like a pro.  Just in the nick of time too because the other little guy is just around the corner and having to buy two different types of diapers would not have been fun.

Kaelyn has finally started to lose some of her teeth.  She started out with her top front teeth falling out, a few days ago she lost a lower tooth.  She is taking it all in stride because all of her friends at school are losing tooth like theres no tomorrow.  Kae was so excited she even took her tooth to school to show her buddies.

Guek and I still remember the day she cut her first tooth, went through the pains of teething and brushing.  Now she is losing her first set of teeth.  It’s a sad day, we are getting older and the kids are growing so fast…

I thought that I would be the first one to get Avery to smile, but of course her Mom accomplished the task before I could get to it.

We got her to give us that little smirk and its oh so sweet.  Unfortunately we didn’t get a high resolution photo of it, so a picture from our iPhone will just have to do.

Avery came in to our lives this morning at 9:05AM, she weighed in at 7lbs and 7oz whens he finally came out.  We are so blessed that she is a healthy little newborn and her Mom is recovering very well also.  Avery had a slight case of Jaundice that required about a days worth of photo treatment at the hospital.

It’s hard to tell her personality at the moment, but so far if Avery is hungry we have to get her feeding ASAP.  Her cry is far weaker than that of her older sisters, but she can get feisty.  The days we were in the hospital we hard because we missed Kaelyn as well.

We are glad to be home and will update more as time goes on.
