Aribelle's Monthly Photo

This month we had so much going on it was hard to keep track of all of the kids' milestones. Between July 4th, house guests, remodeling, birthdays, and so many other events, it was a very busy month.

All about Addie

Second dental checkup - We took the kids 6 months ago to their first checkup and they both did great. We were so impressed with Addie at this one because it was like she knew what to do before the hygienist even asked her to do something. The lady said "this might be our best patient all week"!! Addie was pretty proud of herself. We tried to get x-rays of her teeth and Addie did great but started getting a bit choked up once the hygienist had placed all of the x-ray pads in her mouth. We didn't get to complete the x-rays this time but maybe next time :)

All about Cooper

Tongue out - When Coop is in deep thought or when he's working on something (computer, legos, etc), he tends to stick his tongue out or twirl it while he works. It's the funniest thing because he has no idea he's doing it. I managed to get one picture of him (below) recently while he was playing on the computer but he does it so often now.

Second dental checkup - Cooper did great at his first checkup but even better at this one. The hygienist complimented his ability to sit still and follow directions while she cleaned his teeth. I was really proud of him!! :)

All about Aribelle

First steps!! Aribelle took her first steps ON my birthday 7/14. We were playing in the living room and Nana and Mama were trying to get her to walk to each of us and she DID. After that it was so exciting she kept taking 2-3 steps each time. At one point she took 5 steps!! She probably thought we were all crazy yelling and cheering.

All about baby #4 (Conner)

Growing - Of course I'm getting bigger by the day but no real changes in pregnancy symptoms. I really don't have many cravings except Sushi and Citrus drinks (like Orange/Pineapple and other tropical flavors).
