Life in our house never slows down anymore. As you can see I managed to get busy in the last few months. The school year ended. Kayhlynn was promoted to 1st grade. We are very proud of her. Then 10 days after that we welcomed our newest baby girl into the family. Natalie Taylor came exteremly early Sunday June 27th @ 12:05am. She was 7 pounds 9.3 ounces and 19 1/2 inches long. She come out hungry and crying!!
She has been a blessing to us already. She is holding her head pretty good on her own..still wobbly but getting it down. She is smiling at us and she coos already too!! She is reaching for our faces and toys hanging down from the toy bars. She rolls up on either side, but hates hates hates tummy time!!! She doesn't even like to sleep on her belly!!! Interesting. She also tries to pull herself forward while in the sitting position!!
I truly think she is going to be a little quick with things at this point. She wants to get the older two girls. You know they can't have fun without her. She is growing up so fast!! I wish it would all slow down for just a bit so I could enjoy these moments for a minute longer. Just savor them. She is our last baby. We will not be having anymore. Mommy got her tubes tied and Daddy will be taking care of himself when we get back to the states. Hannah has adjusted well to life with a baby in the house. She does go through her jealously patches, but for the most part she is loving it all!! She is a great helper and she is looking forward to her schooling this year as well.
We have a lot to accomplish with her to get her Kindergarten ready!! Almost to the half way point in the tour here in Japan!! We stay busy and time is flying. Nothing will make up for all that is lost to those we care for in the process of this, but just know that we are doing all we can to keep everyone in the loop. Kayhlynn and Hannah also played T-Ball this year!! Kayhlynn has the urge to play softball. So we are getting her ready and since they don't offer Softball till high school here, we are doing the next best thing!!!
She loved it and did well. She is really catching on to hitting and playing the different positions. She really seems to have the desire to learn it all. She got a trophy for playing and she is absolutely proud of it!!! Hannah, played T-Ball as well, but she played what they call Smart Start. For 3 and 4 year olds. They run through everything they need to learn. She got bored with it towards the end, but it is a lot of repeating repeating repeating. She wanted to play like Kayhlynn was!! Her last "practice" they had a "game" and she loved every second of it!!! She really does well when she can get into it. She has made it known to Mommy that she wants to be a cheer leader. So we may be looking into getting her started!! That is pretty much everything that up to date for the moment. We will be getting back into the writing once or twice a week to keep everyone up to date!!! The new school year will be starting soon. Kayhlynn is so excited!!!!
