I can hardly believe that it has been two months since I made an entry. Time has flown, along with the summer. We spent a lot of time at the pool this summer, both girls are like little fish in the water. Kaycee started the summer by not even wanting to put her body in the water, then she gradually worked up to putting her face in the water, now she jumps into the deep end, and does flips in the water, she is trying so hard to swim like her sister - it will come! We went to Texas for the
4th of July - Kaycee loved the fireworks! We also ventured north to the Omaha Zoo, and we all enjoyed the animals and the awesome weather. Emilee showed a horse in Oklahoma this summer, so we rode tripped to Stilwater for a weekend. We went out on Aunt Julie and Uncle Tony's boat and got to go tubing and swimming in the lake. We got a slip 'n slide, so during the week the girls would spend the evenings on the slip n slide. Emilee went back to school last Thursday, and Kaycee is in Pre-school at Dinosaur Den. Emilee goes to Dino Den before and after school, so it works out great. It is amazing how much Kaycee has grown this summer, things are really clicking now. Kaycee can count to 100 (with a little help), recognizes all of the numbers up to 10, recognizes must of the letters of the alphabet, can identify all of the colors and shapes. Kaycee is learning Spanish and sign langage at Dinosaur Den. She does not seem to be too far off developmentally. Though I must say she is definitely testing us to determine what her boundaries are! Kaycee has not gained any more weight, so I think that her body finally understands that there will always be enough food. Her favorite things to eat are scrambled eggs, watermelon, apples, yogurt, noodles, rice, chicken, hot dogs and beef sticks. Kaycee LOVES to sing, and unless she is sleeping, she is probably singing - I have heard her singing in her sleep. She no longer sings from her Chinese CD's, she would rather listen to her sister's music - Hannah Montana, Jonas Brothers, Taylor Swift - and of course Emilee hates that. Kaycee had a three month follow-up appointment with the cardiologist, and she is doing great and does not have to go back for a year! The doctor thinks that she is doing great, but will be able to tell more in a year after she grows some more. Kaycee has grown an inch since we were at the doctor the end of May. We looking forward to the fall season - Kaycee & Emilee both have birthdays, Halloween, Thanksgiving & Christmas! Can you say - over stimulation! This will be a very exciting time for all of us.
