It has been forever since I have last updated!!! Let's catch up. Ciara is now weighing in at a wonderful 16 pounds! On Tuesday she got her first tooth! We are so excited at how well she is growing. She is talking well too. Her favorite words are momma and dada, but she also says Elmo, nice, all done, and who's that! She is so precious and she amazes me everyday. She is so bright and wants to imitate everything that we do. She is not walking yet. But she is cruising around and standing on her own. She prefers to have me take her hands and walk with her so the desire is there she just needs to get the courage. Ciara continues to have therapy every Tuesday and loves when Kathi comes over to play. Ciara gets all excited and starts bouncing and screaming. We are blessed to have such a wonderful person in our lives.
Aaliyah is doing well and getting bigger and smarter by the second. She is really enjoying going outside to play and has made friends with the neighbor girl and is always begging me to go over or have her come over here. Hmmm...that reminds me of a two little girls who lived in Walston that couldn't go a day without each other!! I love you Kaylan! She is doing well being a big sister and is very helpful. The only thing she doesn't do well with is sharing. I feel like I am constantly yelling at her to share! She spends a lot of time in the corner! We will keep working on it. She is registered to go to SSCD in the fall for preschool and is so excited. She has been having some separation anxiety and does not want to leave me at all. This past week she refused to go to either of her grandma's houses and she usually can't wait to go. Hopefully this is just a phase. As my Grandma Detwiler would say "This too shall pass."
We have been remodeling the living room. Corey has been working every since minute he is not at work. It is absolutely beautiful. We tore down the walls to the planks, blew in insulation, re-wired everything, put in more outlets (because we only had 2), put up new drywall, put in recess lighting, and built in a TV stand. Corey just finished painting yesterday and he and Grandpa Long are going to finish up the wiring on Wednesday. All we have left to do is put up the trim and it will be done. The girls and I have been hanging out upstairs and watching movies in Aaliyah's room. We have everything piled up in the playroom so there isn't much room to play downstairs. We pretty much just come downstairs to eat and do the dishes. We spent our entire tax return on the living room and it looks wonderful! It's so easy to spend it. It is definitely worth it though.
We continue to praise God everyday for our wonderful family. God Bless
