Halloween
This year we were a bit crazy. We traveled on Halloween to be with friends. I think Ethan really enjoyed himself, I know I did. Thank you Beth, Jeff, Karen, and Grant. We had a wonderful time!

The Cat!
Please note that Fiest usually lays next to Ayla. He has to be near her and has never scratched. I think he only did it this time because Ayla grabbed his feet.

Ethan's First Day of First Grade
Ethan started school on August 31. He is enjoying it, but when asked what his favorite thing is..."lunch." Ethan does find a lot of it boring, guess that is what happens with a kid who finds the work too easy.

Developmentally On Target!
With all that Ayla has been though, the one unknown and biggest concern has been her physical development. I have watched her intently for every milestone that she is "suppose" to reach as she grows and develops. Looking at Ages and Stages, Ayla is right on target. She has reached every step that she has needed to!
At 3 1/2 months Ayla can:
Communication: Chuckle softly, coo, stop crying when she hears a known voice, makes high pitched squeals, laughs great laughs!, and makes sounds looking at people and toys.
Gross motor: can move her head side to side, lays her head down when on tummy, can lift chin off the floor 3 inches, holds head steady, and plays with fingers. She is not quite holding her head straight up and looking around....Ayla is emerging in this skill.
Fine Motor: Ayla follows toys with eyes or head; looks at toys when sitting, holds, looks at, and mouths toys when put in her hand.
Problem solving: Ayla does wave her hands towards a toy above her and if she catches it puts it in her mouth.
Personal-social: Ayla watches hands, knows when she is about to be fed, tries to hold the bottle, smiles when she sees me nearby, and coos at self in the mirror.
I am so proud of my beautiful girl!
(Ayla worked her way off the blanket to get her feet into the grass).
