Catching up

 

I can't believe how horrible I have been about updating the blog. Between having Kailahni at my side ALL DAY, EVERY DAY and trying to help the boys get acclimated to their new school, I don't feel like I have much time to sit down and blog. Go figure! Life is good, but busy. Jacob and Benjamin are settling into school, although they are both a little overwhelmed with being in a "real school" (as they call it). But, all in all, they seem happy and are making friends...so that's good.

Kailahni is still working on her walking skills. She could probably be a full time walker if she wanted to be, but she seems content to just dabble in the walking thing, for now. She has entered into a bit of a "clingy" phase, which is normal and expected. She wants to be with me (on me really) at all times. If I walk out of the room for even a minute, she lets me know just how "not OK" she is with that. She's not sleeping quite as well as she was either. I'm up with her 2,3,4 times a night. I'm sure this will pass, and we are working hard to answer ALL of her cries and reassure her that we will always be there...ALWAYS. She's a bright girl, so I'm sure she'll get that concept soon. At least I hope she does, because I like my sleep...I'm missing it!

We've made it to the zoo once since our move. The day we went it was a little bit hot, but we made the best of it. Sarah, Norah, my Dad and all the kidos were there. Kailhani really seemed to like the animals and had a good time splashing in water playground. I'm sure there will be plenty more zoo days in our future! I've also included some pics of some playtime at Sarah's house. It's so much fun to watch Vienna and Kailahni play together!! Sista Cousins!!

I agree with everyone else- the picture of you and Kailhani is gorgeous! I'm sure she keeps you very busy, but how great that she has cousins and aunts to play with every day! Glad you are settling into the new house well-

Love, Cecilia
