well Peyton had her very late 6 month check up the other day at 7 and a half months. They were booked up when I called after my surgery.
She is doing well over all and is advanced developementally on some things. She is crawling, sitting, standing, starting to walk around things, starting to talk, eating finger foods.
However she did gain a little weight and is 12.5 lbs but since she was already so low and in the 5% her not gaining much put her below 5 % which may be nothing since mom and dad are both pretty small but something we have to watch to make sure especially given the circumstances of the problems I had during my pregnancy. So instead of going back at 12 months we have to start going in every month to get weight checks. She eats ALL the time though. She will eat 2 jars, 3-4 rice crips or teething cookies, some finger foods like peas, etc all in one sitting. He said as long as she progresses on her own pace not a worrie but we will watch to make sure that she doesn't fall anymore.
She was 26 inches and 10% for height.
Her left food is also turning in so we are hoping that is something that will correct over time like it did on Keagan and Brooklyn but it turns more then theirs did so we have to watch that as well.
But for the most part she did well and did well with her shots.




Well sadly we weren't able to make a visit back home with my surgery and still recovering and deployment nearing so close but thankfully Bryans family was able to make it this way for a little visit for a few days.
They came in town on Saturday and we spent a few days doing a couple of fun things from swimming at the pool at their hotel, chucky cheese, dinner and more.
The kids were really excited to have their Mimi and Pa here!
Now it's time to crack down on the packing and get ready for our move in a few days!
Well over the last few weeks we have had a lot of changes going on. We are finally getting out of housing and finally moving back to where we wanted to live and loved living before.
The boys have been asking to go back to school all summer and really miss it and I was on the fence because I really wanted to finish out a full year of homeschool for this next school year and then us decide but since my oldest one hasn't stopped asking and seemed a lot happier in school and with us moving they will be in a much much better school district and a lot more benifits like buses again (which helps if I get sick) and no uniforms! Yay! So we've decided to let them go back. So I got them all enrolled and set up and thankfully my youngest son didn't loose his IEP by being pulled out when he did and will just start that back up.
We have also decided we may need to put our youngest son back in ABA as he's developing quit the attitude lately and become very rude. The day I had surgery he just really got thrown off so I think with some of the events coming up he would benifit.
I'm back and forth on considering sending my daughter to a little prek for one or two days a week. Her birthday is late so she missed the deadline for school but is so ready to go and would really benifit from it but I'm just not sure I can do it just yet. We will see though.


tonight we had a family outting with movies in the park with our village. We had fun on a bounce house, got face painting, hot dogs and hamburgers, popcorn, nachos, snickers, skittles, glow sticks, all for free!
We watched Planet 51!


Peytons finally starting to enjoy the water a lot more and enjoy the spray park. We finally made it to the spray park in Harker Heights and the girls had a lot of fun but the boys never left the pool on the other side lol
went to open gym time this afternoon to let the kids run out some energy. I jumped on the trampoline some and thinking there's probably a weight limit on that and I might want to not do it again haha The boys were all around there doing flips and everything else!
