Kid Happenings

Nothing major has happened in our kids lives just day to day happenings. I will start with Reagan. She is really enjoying school. We have been reading every night and she is starting to recognize words and anticipate what words are coming next. She loves doing homework! She gets a homework list every Monday and it's due on Friday. We have finished her homework on Monday when she gets it, except for the daily reading part. I originally thought I should try and spread her homework out over the week, but Reagan just wants to keep going until we get it all done. It has turned out nice because we have usually been tired or busy the other nights. Reagan usually walks or rides her scooter to school but a couple weeks ago, after riding her scooter to school, Reagan thinks she forgot to take her scooter into her classroom and someone stole it! She was hysterical... can you imagine Reagan hysterical! Me neither! :-) The lady who gives her a ride home was in tears when she dropped her off. We held out hope that someone would turn it in, but we haven't been so lucky. We told Reagan it was ok and that we will probably have to get her another one. Two weekends ago we were at Great Grandma Doty's for Sunday dinner and Reagan fell down and skinned her knee pretty bad. She has never had it happen this bad so she was pretty upset. I did have my camera and took pictures. I felt bad, but it was kinda funny too. She gets so dramatic!



Kairi is just growing up! She is such a little mother. She loves to take Tahlia and carry her all over and tries to play with her like she would with her doll. Most of the time Tahlia is ok with it, but gets tired of it pretty fast. She is also trying to help with Camden a lot. He, most of the time, doesn't appreciate it though. He is trying to be independent and Kairi is still trying to help too much. I told Kairi that she is suppose to help Aimee while Reagan is at school and she has been doing just that. She tells me every day that she helped while Reagan was gone. Her bubbly personality makes us laugh even when we shouldn't be. How can you be mad a child that smiles with such big dimples and blue eyes! Alan and I catch ourselves hiding smiles when we are trying to be serious with her.



Camden is our little tank! Every where we go people comment on how big he is especially when we tell them how old he is. He continues to be in the top percentiles on his growth chart. At his 15 month appointment he weighed 30.6 lbs, was 32 in tall and has a head circumference of 20 in! He is big but we love every inch of him! Camden loves being big. He loves taking showers, he loves wearing shoes, he loves running, kicking and throwing! He is turning into a little man right before our eyes. He is so different from his sisters, which most days is a good change of pace. He too has a bubbly personality. He loves to laugh and can get us all laughing for no apparent reason. What would we do without him!?



Tahlia is our small little bundle of joy! She is as small as Camden is big! She will be 5 months old this week and is still wearing 0-3 month clothes. She is already a strong and stubborn girl. She seems like she is going to be taking after her older sister. She is still refusing to take a bottle! We continue to try everyday but with no success. Consequently she is eating a ton of food! She eats a jar of baby food about 1/4 c rice cereal and a scoop or so of formula at every meal! She usually has to have some kind of snack in the early afternoon or late evening though. I'm hoping this means she will be growing soon! She has a smile that melts our hearts and loves any attention we can give her. Reagan has been such a big help in taking care of Tahlia! I don't know what I would do with out her!
