Riley Laughed!

Riley laughed for the first time today. And it was at Mike! (And he doesn't think she likes him!) He was letting her look at herself in the mirror and he said to her, "we're going to bring you to the state fair and enroll you in the fattest little piggy contest." For some reason, she thought it was funny. It was really cute!

Mia's Appointment

Mia had her eye appointment today. Her left eye is still moving outward when she's looking far away and when she's day dreaming. The doctor checked her vision and it's normal. He said that since her eye is staying straight most of the time, we'll continue to watch it. He gave us some eye exercises to do to strengthen her left eye. If her eye starts doing it more often, she'll need surgery. I was worried that she was going to need glasses, so I'm relieved that she doesn't! I really hope these eye exercises work!

It Happened Again!

Our clumsy little boy! He was chasing after our dog, Elsa, and tripped. He hit his outer left eye on his wooden chair. The cut was nice and straight, so they were able to glue it instead of doing stitches. The bad thing is we can't get it wet. That means no baths for 4 days. What's even worse is that earlier that day, he hit his right eye on a toy and has a black eye there too. He's had four black eyes in the last month. He needs a helmet!

Way to go Riles!

Riley slept 5-6 hours in a row for the last few nights. It was so nice getting that much sleep! She woke up last night at her usual 2am and 6am, but I'm hoping she doesn't revert back to that.

Showing off those thighs! She has a nice rolls on them!

Playing at the Park

I'm ashamed to say that I took the kids to the park for the first time a few days ago. It was rather hot that day and the temperature hit 92 degrees. When we first arrived, I set all of the kids down. I forgot the camera in the car, and I figured Ethan and Mia would run straight for the playground equipment. I was gone for 10 seconds and in that time, Ethan and Mia threw mulch all over Riley. Ethan was also trying to put it in her mouth. Poor baby!

The playground was more for older children, but Ethan and Mia still had fun just being outside. I went down the slide with them a couple of times. I had Riley in the baby bjorn, so it was a little awkward trying to fit through the slide opening. They weren't the biggest fans of the slide. They both were a little scared of it. They did like climbing up the stairs to get to the slides. There's an elementary school close to our house, so I think we'll try that playground next.

Pick me up!

This is fun, kind of!

Another Note to Self

It wasn't a fluke that Ethan got the cap off the mederma tube a few days ago. He knows how to take caps off now! Add vacuuming to my list of things to do.

Note to Self

Do not leave cans of pop close to the edge of the table. Ethan can now reach. Add mopping the floor to my list of things to do! He sure had fun guzzling my pop, though!
