Fifth day of preschool



RE doing laundry.




Amelia started preschool on August 15, but due to being busy, we didn't get pictures until her fifth day. She loved school from day 1 and has not had any problems going. There are only 6 kids, a few are 4 and a few are 3, which I think has helped her to really learn more than I ever taught her in our coop.

Davy's blessing

Davy was blessed on September 11, 2011 by Ricky. It was so great that Abuelo could come and be in the circle. We also had Bro. Amoureaux, Bro. Chipman, and Bishop Rustand. Ricky blessed Davy in Spanish and showed great emotion. Davy was a good boy, but Amelia and RE were not, so I actually didn't hear most of the blessing. Ricky told me all about it later.

Sleepyhead before church. This was RE's blessing outfit we bought in PR.

Davy was really hungry.


This is as good as it gets right now.


Abuelo y Abuela

Ricky's parents were able to come spend a few days with us in September. The kids loved having their grandparents!











Kids



Davy is growing fast. At his 2 month check up he weighed 13 8, 75th %, which for me is new. I've never had such a fat baby! He is eating well and smiling like crazy. He still has blue eyes and his hair has a slight red tint to it. We love him so much.
RE is talking quite a bit for his age. It's amazing what he can say and do. He climbs all over the couches and falls off on purpose. He loves to go outside and play in the dirt and rocks. He loves Davy and Amelia.
Amelia is doing great at preschool. She is writing a lot more and had started drawing pictures of actual things as opposed to just lines and colors. She can sing a song after hearing it once or twice and she loves to read books. She will have a book memorized after I read it to her a few times. She loves to sing songs and make up songs. She has been dry every night except one in the last month and a half.



















Dentist

Amelia had her first visit to the dentist. She was so excited to go because we read Charlie and the loose tooth a few months ago. She has not enjoyed visits to the doctor, so I thought she might not like the dentist. I had my cleaning first and then she literally pushed me out of the chair for her turn. She did a great job opening her mouth while they cleaned and checked everything. I was really proud of her. She has been brushing her teeth 10 times a day with the new toothbrush they gave her.
