Kira is 7 months old

Without being partial Kira is the cutest little girl I have ever seen and I am blessed to have her as my daughter. It's getting harder to take a picture of her just sitting. She's constantly pulling something into her mouth. She's a content and happy baby, loving and gentle.

Triple Trouble

We're enjoying a visit from the cousins. The boys are having a blast. In the morning we went to the park where this picture (and others in the album) were taken, and after the afternoon nap we headed to the pool for about an hour before dinner. Tomorrow is the Aaron's first 3rd Birthday celebration.

12 or 2

This might seem like a bit personal note on the blog but I thought I'd share the story with you just in case. A few months ago when I was visiting in Indianapolis I had to see a dentist for a toothache. It turned out to be a root canal which was treated right then. At the same time the dentist (with Indy Dental Group) did x-rays and gave me a full mouth check up and came up with...12 cavities! I declined treatment because I didn't have an opportunity to fix my teeth in Indianapolis. I thought I'd do it in VA. So, today I went to see my Ashburn dentist. All I told him was that I had a root canal work a couple of months ago. He did x-rays and examined me and found...only 2 cavities. Now, we're not talking about 1-2 cavities difference, but 10. That would be hard to miss, right?

Kira is 6 month old

Weight 15lb 15 oz (50%)
Height 27 1/4" (95%)
OFC 16 3/4 " (50%)

Immunizations: Pentacel #2 (DTaP, IPV, Hib), Rotavirus, PCV13

This sweetheart is not feeling well after her 6 months check up. She had a reaction to Pentacel #2 with high fever up to 103.2 for a couple of days. I made a mistake and took her to the doctor to a walk in clinic for sick kids in a waiting room full of other actually contagious sick kids. Now we believe she has a viral infection on top of her shots reaction.
So unusual to see her quiet and not smiling. I miss that crinkled nose and her ear to ear smile, her squeals and squeaks. Praying that she recovers fast.

Cliff was going to wash the car today and he called Aaron to help him out. Aaron said: "Papa, I am going to wash the car by myself but you can help me".

In the hood...

How bizzare is that?

We both lost our cell phones yesterday, on separate occasions. We got new cell phones but no contacts whatsoever. Please, forward me your phone number by e-mail. Thank you!
