Playing catch up: the end of June

6/23
Today wasn't a great day. It's always rough right after family leave/we get home from visiting family. Plus the girls still aren't feeling 100 percent. And Derek and I are both feeling as though we might be coming down with it. The worst, however, was a call from a good friend. Her sister has been ill and was given a poor prognosis. My friend and her family are moving in a week to support and care for her. The whole situation just stinks. I'm sad for my friend and her family (please keep them in your prayers). I'm sad for Maya who is losing her best bud. We are really going to miss them. We are going to try to soak up this last week with them. Including the park and dinner tonight.

We went swimming today with our friends. Maya has been begging to go in their pool for a while. I'm glad we got a chance to. And Maya got a new floaty just in time. It's great. She was a little hesitant at first but she can kick around the pool on her own with it.

Nora had her 4 month well baby check this morning. She was 13 lbs 9 oz (32nd percentile) and 25 inches long (70th percentile). Her head was in the 97th percentile. She is pretty much over the bug so she got shots. She was kind of a grump all day after them. She finally settled down and had a nap after some acetaminophen and was in a better mood.

After her appointment we had the last day of playschool with the three girls. We did the letter S and decorated square picture frames with sparkly glitter and stickers to put a picture of the three of them in. They turned out really well

crazy after bath hair

I love baby toes

We hit up the local kiddy amusement park/zoo with friends. Maya has decided that kiddy rides aren't evil. In fact, she thoroughly enjoyed them. She was beat by the end of the day. Nora turned 18 weeks old. This summer has flown.

Maya had her second preschool music class this morning. She seems to enjoy it but she gets shy. It seems hard to believe because the kid will generally talk to anyone about anything. But for some reason in the structured setting she clams up. The theme this week was the 4th of July. Maya enjoyed painting fireworks with balls and adding glitter. She loves all things sparkly.

We went to the farmers market and then helped our friends finish packing up.
