A crazy week...but full of firsts, seconds....and an eighth!!

The past couple weeks have been a little crazy at our house. It's officially summer vacation for the kids and while they're enjoying it, I don't know that I am. Having four kids home ALL day gets a little hard. And the weather has not been all that great....until the past couple of days....finally!! There are pros and cons though to having them in school and having summer break, and I'm just trying to focus on the pros.....such as not having to deal with homework! So yes, even though there has been a lot of chaos and stress in my life over the past couple weeks, there has also been a lot of fun and exciting things. Peyton has had a couple “firsts” and one “second”. After rolling around, scooting on her back, and army crawling for the past month or so, she finally took her first real crawl up on all fours. She’s done it a couple times since, but it’s still so much easier to get around in all of her old ways that she doesn’t really do it much. She also finally learned how to sit up from laying down, which is the only other milestone that I encourage besides sitting in general. If you think about it, those are the only 2 milestones that have nothing but positive things about them. All of the others….crawling, walking, talking, etc….also come with all sorts of trouble! So anyway, that’s an exciting one. And then on Sunday she got her second tooth and has been able to start eating so many more things, all thanks to one more sharp object in her mouth….it’s great! And speaking of teeth….Kya lost her second tooth today. So far her and Pey are following a similar pattern of losing and gaining teeth. It’s kind of funny how coincidental it has been!

Then, on Monday, September turned EIGHT! When on earth did she get that old?!? We had a really fun day, but I'll save all the details for another post.
