Grace shocked me today when she was able to stand in the Bumbo and then jump over the center part to the floor.
Of course, you know who was right behind her
She is getting so brave with her movement.
Suki shows off one of her beloved bracelets. That girl just loves necklaces and bracelets.
Kate is all ready to go to the pediatric cardiologist for her follow up visit.
Getting ready for the EKG.
David reported back that everyone at the office was so charmed by Kate, the way she smiled at everyone and was so good natured even through all of her tests.
All hooked up!
Wrapped up and cosy.
Funny little face.
Obviously these two found a way to amuse themselves during a wait.
Reflections.
Sacked out for the ride back.
If you want to see something amazing, check out
these pictures from her initial appointment.
So there's good news and bad news from the appointment. First, the most worrisome gap in Kate's heart has closed, though the one at the top is still there. Then there's the fact that on the first visit, it was very difficult to detect a murmur using a stethoscope only -- on this visit there was a readily apparent murmur, the doctor believes it is an innocent one and possibly a flow murmur. We'll need to take Kate back in for more tests at a follow up visit in 6-12 months.
Also! In tanking up news, according to the scales at the cardiologist's office Kate now weighs 18 lbs 5 oz, which would indicate a gain of twelve ounces from her 17 lbs 9 oz six days ago. I suspect a discrepancy in the scales, but still!
We had such a good time playing outside even though it was a bit chilly.
Grace shows off her new bubble blowing skills.
So proud of herself.
Chasing after Mom.
Ready for another chase.
We set up this stand for Kate tonight. Grace loved it but it was packed away when Suki was young enough to use it. Apparently, she needed to get her fill now...
Even Grace came over for a kiss.
Kate is nearly budged right out, though she really didn't mind. She just loves having a sister nearby.
Looking at the drop off up ahead.
A little wary of what's in front of her.
Trying to convince me that I will be the one to let her out of the car.
Posing for the camera.
My sad little Sook.
No!
Smiley little Kate.
Scrunchy little face.
Sisters making each other smile.
Peeping Mom spies a Grace getting all packed up.
Coming out at the end of dinosaur week.
Getting in the car.
This was too adorable. Thursdays are picnic in the park days for us now. I'd given Suki a single fry and when Grace saw it she wanted one of her own. I told her that I'd give her one as soon as she was strapped in her car seat, so she immediately turned to Suki and asked her to share. Much to my surprise, she did and was delighted to do so.
Sisters heading off to the park.
Duck time.
Suki on the fish.
Climbing up to play while Kate naps.
Awake! A chilly breeze may have done the job.
I just love this one.
Quintessential Suki.
The final swing of the afternoon.
