End of January 2012

It is hard to believe that January is almost over. This month has been a tough one for us. Loads of sickness running through the house, lots of transitions with work and home environment, and more filled up schedules. Makenna is still enjoying ballet. She loves to ride her bike and scooter and play outside. Her newest past-time is singing karaoke in front her mirror, and helping me in the kitchen. She LOVES to watch herself in the mirror. She is so innately responsible (I wonder how long it will last). She makes her bed, brushes her teeth by her self, and often sees a need with Bailey before I do! She is an amazing big sister to Bailey Rose. The two of them roll around on the floor. And she cares for her in so many ways (helping me, playing with, reading books to her, snuggling with, etc).

Bailey amazes us every day. She has been sick for almost two months (cold after cold and flu after flu), and the whole time a total trooper. After many calls to the doctor and a few visits they decided to do an x-ray of her lungs and stomach, only to discover she had pneumonia. Although it was scary to her the diagnosis there was a lot of relief because she would FINALLY be treated. She has been sleeping worse, coughing worse, and sounding worse because everything is loosening but we are thankful that things are moving out of her little body. She signs milk, more, waves, claps, says “hi”, “uh-oh”, and “go-go-go”.

Excited for February…month of LOVE!

Riding her bike. (Just realized she is not wearing her helmet…yikes)

Sister-love

I have been learning and experimenting with our new camera. It’s my new obsession.

Regained our bathtub…yay! Bailey loves baths with sister…

This is Bailey…sick. Hard to tell, I know. She is such a happy girl. Night time has been the worst, but she is so sweet during the day

Makenna telling our neighbor, Joel, a story.

Silly face.

No onto the month of LOVE…here we come February. Ready or not.
