Months 7 and 8

So month 7 and 8 have passed. I have healthy kids! I have had some hiccups and some busy days, but so filled with love. 

Issy is doing better! He is up to date on all his shots for 6th grade! His grades have improved.

Allen is QUITE the handful, but God is he so sweet throughout many days. He is up to 38.5 lbs and 39 inches! He has officially been seizure free 2 years, and off all medications for it for 3 months! He says some really sweet things all the time. Allen knows most of his primary colors (still calls purple pink some times.) We can count to 20. He is also working on ABC's now.

"Momma I just lub her" (about his sisters)

"Momma  I do my magic" (as he spins around)

"Lets pray" (if we try to eat before praying)

"I can't do it" (when he doesnt WANT to do it)

Sophia is now 20 pounds and 14 ounces. She is working on sitting, but doing a great job at it. She can't quite site herself up, but will stay up for a long time if you help her get there. She is crawling and just cut her 5th tooth!!! She is still my easy going girl! Her first word was: nanananana.

Meredith is 19 pounds 14.5 ounces! She is keeping up nicely with her sister! She is crawling nicely. We are really working on sitting up more with her since she still does not do more than a minute or so. She loves kitties! She also has turned into such a sensitive baby. Everything has to be perfect or the tiniest thing can set her off! Her neck has improved vastly with home exercises. She has 2 teeth! She has said her first word: mamamama.

Penny is still my tiny babe at only 17 pounds and 6 ounces. She has 2 teeth. She currently stands up everywhere. She cruises furniture. She is a pro at crawling and sitting up. She says mamamamamamama ALL the time and I LOVE IT! She also said buh buh buh buh (Issy loved that!)

6 Months... Already :(

6 Months came and went.

Meredith:
17 pounds 2 ounces (66%)
26. 75 inches (79%)
MJ finally started rolling both ways. She also started scooting around. She doesn't really care for solid foods much. She almost has her first tooth broken through.

Penny:
15 pounds 5 ounces (31%)
26 inches (49%)
Penny is our little over achiever. She crawls on all four! She also has sat herself up! No teeth yet, but she is working on them. She thinks solids are ok.

Sophia:
18 pounds 1 ounce (80%)
26.25 inches (60%)
Sophia has 2 teeth in already and working on her third. She rolls both directions reliably and gets on all four to rock back and fourth. She absolutely loves her solids foods and will eat a whole jar/tub by herself.

Allen is 39 pounds already. He is into everything and continuing to develop more everyday. He is learning and growing so much right before my eyes.

Issy's report card was better than before! I made up a blend to help him calm down and focus. It has been instrumental in how his attitude and behavior has changed so much.

Finally launched my Young Living Career. I am part of an amazin team and have such great resources available. My website can be found here. I love sharing the difference the oils have made for us.
