Flashback Friday: First Summer

 

 Brina completely folded in half and sleeping

This flashback Friday bounces us back to June 2005.  The girls first summer!  They were continuing to grow.  It was amazing to see them start to learn more and change.  They still could go to sleep in the most unusual (and what looked like uncomfortable) positions.  Their smiles and little giggles made our days so much brighter.  They put up with our silliness as parents and we had a lot of fun learning together.

We were home for the majority of the month of June.  At their regular Doctors appointment they were growing and looking healthy, however, on Brina’s apnea monitor her heart rate was showing unusually high numbers so we had to go into a specialists office to get her hooked up to an EKG.  We also had to bring her home on a portable EKG for a couple days to see if there were any complications.  Thankfully she was fine, she just has a faster heartbeat than other kids at her age.

 Karlie was our thumb sucker.  She is enjoying her thumb as she falls asleep.

Snuggle bugs

Looks like mischief!

Karlie giggling as she attacks Tigger!

Karlie fast asleep with a decorative gift bow on her forehead…..she has no idea!

Love seeing those pudgy cheeks!

Brina having the EKG test done.  She is not very happy with us right now.

 Back home with all the EKG wires attached to her.  She was more content once we were back home and didn’t seem to mind the extra wires until we pulled them off 2 days later and she had a bunch of red spots all over her belly.

Hanging out!

Silly ducks….Brina – “What are you guys looking at?” while Karlie snoozes away completely unaware of the duck on her head.

Karlie tolerated our silliness.  As long as she was fed, changed, and got to play she was a happy baby.

Look at that cute milk belly! Such a huge change since her surgery the month before when she couldn’t keep anything down.  Thankful for the doctors and a healthy baby.

Brina is excited about picking out gifts in the Cheaper Than Dirt Catalog…..makes Daddy so proud!

Brina showing off her fancy “pant” hat.   She is not very impressed.

Karlie is not overly excited by her hat either.  She is ready for her nap!

Happy Brina Bee!
