Well, the summer craziness has officially started for us! Hard to believe we are already 3/4 the way through the month of June. I always think of the 4th of July as half-way through the summer, and here it is just a few short weeks away.
Our calendar has been jam-packed with tball games, birthday parties, doctor appointments, therapy appointments, and business trips for Kevin and I, that have taken us from Denver, CO and as far away as Lima, Peru (Kevin) and now S.Africa (Johansburg and Middleburg - Kevin). The boys seem to adjust to us being away and life just goes about as normal as possible.
This past week - Quinten got some new head gear...a cranial helmet. Used for "Fixin' His Flat" on the backside of his head, we hope that he'll just have to wear it for a few months. He's doing very well with it though despite the fact that he wears it 23 hours per day. I take it off at night to give him his daily bath and hair washing (he gets pretty sweaty and stinky in it), and also to clean the helmet with a rubbing alcohol spray. He looks so darn cute in it though! Its just part of the process......nothing phases me anymore.
Quinn had a great 6 month checkup (actually nearly 7 months old now) -- he weighed in at 18.5oz (98% for him), and was 26 3/4 long (85% for his age)...so he's growing nicely! We think he'll be tall - despite the Trisomy 21, due to Kevin and me and our family members being on the taller side. We've started adding in some solid foods for him finally and this weekend he's tried green beans and applesauce and seems to do well with them!
Grandma Jill came for a visit for the last 5 days and the boys and I have really enjoyed her being with her. They have got to go to parks, the movie, swimming and lots of playing while she's here. Their tball games were a lot of fun - both Caden and Ethan are doing so well this year. I know Kevin hate to miss their games when he's traveling. He's the head coach this year, but has probably missed half their games already. He hadn't planned his summer to be this way at all -- but we take lots of pictures and fill daddy in over Facetime and emails when we can.
Our summer is busy - but I'll try to keep this updated when I can. Here are some pictures!
