February 2011

August turned 1 year old. Her weight 22Lbs (69%), 29.5 length(61%,) and Head 18.5(92%). She is walking everywhere and getting into anything she can. She grabs the broom, then goes and gets the dust pan….I caught her putting clean diapers into the diaper pail (oh so proud of herself). She has started to use a little sign language: milk and more. She loves putting on shoes(not hers of course but all others). When Dora comes on she tries to say Dora but it doesn’t come out correctly. At the end of February she said "apple". We also had a birthday party with Payton down at the lake. We all had a nice time and the girls, especially August, loved getting dirty while eating her cake.


Trey and I had to take Kennedy to have a VCUG scan of her kidneys. It was a precautionary measure to make sure that the Urinary tract infection she had earlier in the year was completely gone. Apparently, doctors are finding that children who had uti’s as children sometimes never fully got rid of their uti’s and it caused damage. These children in their 50’s and 60s are now on dialysis. Kennedy did so great and the staff at Dell’s Children is amazing. The cocktail they gave her to sedate her made her so silly. She kept pulling her sucker out of her mouth and saying “look it does magic!” all with slurred speech. The picture here was taken from my phone so clarity isn’t the best…Trey and I wish we would of had our video camera cause she went from being real quite to a chatter box. Fortunately, the dr’s said she won’t remember the procedure just being in the hospital room.

We had our first snow of the year. The girls loved playing in it. Kennedy and I made our own Angels while August was busy eating the snow.

January 2011

We have had a big breakthrough in bath time!! You see, Mrs. Kennedy has always taken a bath with her swimsuit on from about the age of 2. It was a massive breakdown if she didn’t wear it in the bath. Well, on Sunday she told me she has decided that she no longer needs to wear her swimsuit to take a bath. She would take it without her swim suit like August does. Trey nor I have ever pressed the issue, Yes, we always tried to see if we could get her into the tub without it on, but for some reason she had comfort or control over that situation. Needless to say, it’s been nice not having to put the thing on before bath time!!! Since, I'm having issues trying to get caught up with my posts... I'm going to try to do a quick summary and pictures can be viewed. Kennedy got her hair cut.....so she was modeling her new look. The girls playing with balloons...think this is suppose to be party of the birthday party picture we had for August so they might be repeats in Feb. Trey shot two deer so we tried to make up some sausage. It was getting late so all hands were on deck(Kennedy enjoys helping). Had some cold days this month...Aug and Kennedy love playing outside.
