Mia going to work

It was teacher work day yesterday. Daycare was closed. I took Mia to work for the first time. She was excellent. She greeted my coworkers anf stayed quiet on my lap during a 90 minute meeting. She watched cartoons while I went through the meeting. I then took her for fish and chips. She finished her meal. She maxed out by three. Because of labor day we had early release so we got to leave for home early. It was a good experience overall.

A stroll

A quick stroll at Lake Anne. Kenzie us so sure footed now. She is doing well even in her shoes.

High Fashion

Mia was about to kiss Kenzie. Kenzie liked her sunglasses so much she refused to take them off.

Kenzie Using Spoon

I witnessed Kenzie using spoon for the first time. She finished half a bowl of mac and cheese. Great job!

Happy 10th Anniversary

Mike and I celebrated our 10th anniversary today after a chaotic work day with both girls at a restaurant. Full three course meal which Kenzie patient ly sat through and enjoyed her extra treat of some jaw breaking Italian bread. Mike surprised me with a pictureof our ten years down the memory lane.it's very sweet of him.

We went to the annual Brick Fair today. Mia is a veteran by now. Kenzie is having a sensory overload. She kept trying to reach for stuff but sorry No Touch!

Kenzie's One Year Checkup

Kenzie had her one year well check today. She's 30 1/4 tall and 20 lbs 11.5 oz. Mia was 32 inches tall and 20 lbs 5 oz at 1 year old She had three shots today, for Hep A because we are going to China in Fall, one for mumps, measles, and something else. She cried when the 1st shot went in but calmed down as soon as I picked her up.

Yesterday she started rejecting bottles. I've trying to wean her. I suppose she felt the upcoming change and started boycotting the treatment. We started her on cow's milk a week ago. She hasn't been taking that well. Her pediatrician did not really have any good suggestion other than me completely weaning her and giving her bottles only. I hope she will get over this phase and happily take milk soon.
