It has been a while since my last post. We made a short trip to San Diego for Davey's grandma Pearl's memorial. I am posting a few pictures of our little visit. I got sick again the night we got back to Colorado. I am so sick of being sick!!! Here is my little tid-bit of news: Aylah has 2 teeth now, Serenity enjoys climbing up onto the bathroom counters and playing with the water (Thank goodness she favors cold water), and Davey has received "warning orders" (those come before real orders) that he is set to deploy August 1st...however there is still a rumor that they are deploying to arrive in Iraq by August 1st. I'll keep everyone updated, but for now enjoy these photos:

HUGE NEWS!!!

Aylah's first tooth popped through yesterday! It's her bottom middle right tooth. I think the one next to it will be through very soon too! I can't believe it came so early! She is only 4 months and 6 days today. Serenity didn't get her first tooth until right after she turned 6 months. I've been trying to get a picture of Aylah's tooth, but it's still pretty little and she likes to stick her tongue out when I try to look at it. I'll get a picture for all of you when it grows a little bit.

This is me venting...

Davey went to the field on Sunday. It is a part of his job. However...could someone please explain to me why so many things have to go wrong while he's gone. You know, when I could use a little help. When he left I was pretty sick and now my downstairs that I spent a whole day cleaning is all messy again! Yesterday Serenity woke up with pink eye and Aylah has been feverish so I took the girls to the dr. I thought Aylah was cutting her first tooth, but feared that she was getting what Davey had or what I had. This morning I can finally see the tooth under her gums!!! Hopefully it doesn't take long to pop through. Serenity and I are going to have a day of fun....gotta run!

Aylah's first feeding!!!

Well, first of all I am horribly sick at the moment (Nicole, good thing we didn't come up last week). They're telling me it's the flu, but I am more in pain with a sore throat and I keep sneezing which is hurting my throat even more. Enough about me though...

Aylah had her first real food today. She ate about 5 baby bites of rice cereal mixed with formula. I am pretty sure she liked it. She sat in Serenity's old eating chair and Serenity buckled her in. Each bite I gave her Serenity wiped her mouth clean with a wipe. She was very helpful! Here are a few photos of the event and a few other cute pics of the girls:
