November 2009

Well, November has been a very fun month. The kids are both getting so big!!! We can't believe that we have a nineteen month old and a 3 1/2 month old. Where does the time go?!?! Austin is getting to be so much fun now that he is more aware of everything going on around him. He loves to talk! He will lay on his play mat and talk and talk and talk!!! He is starting to reach for things and hold on to them now. He understands that he can make his hands do things and loves to swat at the toys hanging in front of him. He is also very smiley!!!! Which just melts my heart!! He also loves his big sister! He will just sit and watch her to see what she is doing. He loves when she comes and talks to him. He is also a very good sleeper! He wakes us once at night to eat which means mommy is getting more sleep! Yeah! We met with the cardiologist again last week. They had us do a 24 hour monitor of his heart. We heard back this week that everything was fine so we are done with Austin's medication!!!! Everything looks good so we don't have to do anything else!!!
Kaelyn is in to everything and anything! She keeps us very busy! She is starting to use her words more which is very nice for us. Some of her favorite words are "bubbles", "Bapa"-for Grandpa, "NO", "puh"-for please, "Autin"-for Austin, and "ticka ticka ticka"-for when she is tickling you!!! She is also eating with a fork and spoon very well now. One of her favorite activities is playing in the water. She loves bath time and also standing in front of the sink. She still loves music, which includes dancing and being sung to. He new favorite thing is Barney-which we aren't very happy about-but she loves to watch him over and over and over again! I have been doing a mommy and me class through our city with both kids once a week and Kaelyn seems to love it!!! She has done lots of painting and new activities through the class.
We are really enjoying how well Kaelyn and Austin get along and are excited to see how that progresses as they get older. We are so greatful for our family and look forward to all that is to come!!!!
