Kynsley's X-rays
Saturday, johnathan gave Kynsley a bath and afterwards, he brought her to me and says "I found something wrong with Kynsley". He showed me that her butt crack turned about an inch from the top to the right. We kinda chuckled and didn't think much about it. On Monday, while hosting a swim day at our house, I got to thinking about it again so I asked my other "moms" that were visiting. They said I should google it. So....I did and immediately got terrified when I read that there is a good change that she has a form of spina bifida. So I of course became a wreck. Needless to say she had a scheduled appointment today. Dr Prause sent us to get her an xray to figure out whatever say.

Happy 34th Johnathan
For John's birthday we took the girls to Moody Gardens.
We left early Sunday morning and headed to Galveston. When we arrived at our hotel, our room wasn't ready so we changed clothes and headed out to the pool. Johnathan got the older two sunscreened up while I got myself and Kynsley ready to swim. John and the girls were the first in the pool. I gave Kynsley to Johnathan once she was all prepared and went back to the chairs to finish lathering on the sunscreen. I finally finished and headed over to the pool. I sat down...put my little toe in...and said NO WAY! It was freezing in there. That's when I look over at Jadie's lips and they are purple and she is just a chattering away! So....everyone got out of the pool and we walked over to Palm Beach at Moody Gardens. Johnathan took Ashlyn and Jadyn with him to do the water slides and the lazy river, while Kynsley and I stayed on the beach side and relaxed.
Kynsley even took a power nap in the stroller.
It wasn't long before I received a message saying our room was now available. So we headed up to our room to get showered up and ready for our big Birthday Surprise for Johnathan. (The girls and I had talked and Ashlyn wanted to take Johnathan to the Rainforest Cafe to get dessert. It's a flaming volcano. Basically it is a brownie with icecream and they put sparklers in it.) They were giddy with excitement. We drove over to the Rainforest Cafe to learn that it was a 2-2.5 hour wait! Since it was 6:00 there was no way we were going to be able to keep Ashlyn and Jadyn entertained and AWAKE for 2.5 hours while waiting for a table. So we went to a Chili's down the road. The girls still ordered their Daddy a dessert. It was their molten lava cake. The funny thing is...between Ashlyn, Jadie, and me...Johnathan didn't get but a bite!
The next day we woke up and Johnathan took the older two to Schliterbahn and Kynsley and I slept in late and went to all the attractions at Moody Gardens. Kynsley was such a trooper...not once did she fuss or cry. We went to the Dino's Alive, Rainforest, Discovery Center, and the Aquarium. From what I heard when the girls' got back to the room...they had a blast! We were supposed to go see a 9pm showing for IMAX of Rio, and it wasn't until very last minute that we decided to go. It was a decision well made...the movie was great and the girls were actually quite well behaved considering they were beyond exhausted! (The two pictures below are a before and after! The girls' kept fighting and kept fighting so I told them to put their noses together and stay there for 5 minutes. They of course protested so I said if they stay together for 30 seconds they could be done. So I started counting. I made it to about 5 before I started laughing! I could see Ashlyn completely mortified that she had to do this and Jadie started looking guilty and I imagined her trying to stick her tongue out to lick Ashlyn just to annoy her! Thank goodness Johnathan was there to step in and continue the counting!)
The last day of our stay we packed, loaded up the car, then headed to IHOP for breakfast. After eating we headed back to the hotel to park in the garage before our key card expired and wouldn't allow us access. John and I took the girls to the rest of the attractions at Moody Gardens. (The ones I did with just Kynsley the day before.) They were scared at Dino's Alive. They liked the aquarium and the rainforest the best. They even got to see a 3 toed sloth at the rainforest and hold a beautiful butterfly also.)
It was about 5pm when we loaded into the car and headed back to Fannett. The girls were all passed out from exhaustion before we even made it past the seawall. It was a perfect family vacation!

Kynsley is now eating three meals a day. She has added squash to her diet. Next I plan on adding the fruits, starting with prunes. She has the most beautiful blue eyes and long eyelashes. She has another tooth that is trying to come in also. She even said "Mama" for the first time while at our friend's house. I heard her say it again the very next morning!
She is sitting up all by herself better now, however, she still face plants every 30 seconds or so. She is starting to figure out how to move around in the walker as well! She loves the sound of a water bottle and the wipey bags. She absolutely adores Ashlyn who spends hours carrying her around!
Kynsley is starting to find her voice as well! She loves to make the "indian" sound where I put my hand in front of her mouth as she is "awwww" ing and move it quickly. If I pull my hand away...she will pull it back and try to do it by herself.
She is now taking a bath in the sink sitting up in the bath seat. She isn't as excited in the water as her big sisters were at her age...but she doesn't mind getting a bath.
I am still nursing her freely during the night, however, only have the chance to nurse her a couple of times during the day. Typically she is too distracted to benefit from it, so I usually just give her a bottle to top her off. She has started taking naps in her crib, and pack and play since she has outgrown her swing!

Six Months
Kynsley is now sitting well assisted and can sit independently for about 10 seconds before face planting or falling like a tree to the ground.
Kynsley has been eating vegetables for a week now. We started her with green beans mixed with cereal which she did okay with. Then we added peas and she liked those a lot. Two nights ago, Johnathan gave her carrots which she loved!!!
She is now rolling around to get to things that she wants. She also wants my attention and it's like I break her heart if I walk by and don't pick her up.
Today I noticed that Kynsley has a tooth!!!!

Stefany Brings the Kids
Stefany came over and brought Carey, Richard Glyn, and Conway for the night. When they arrived we piled in the cars and headed to Gator Country. The kiddos even got the opportunity to swim with alligators!!! I was proud to say my girl's got in the water with a 3.5 footer...but neither of them actually had the guts to catch any of them. On the other hand, Richard Glyn was all about it! He was so stinkin cute. He would swim over them, and go underwater and try to pick them up. He managed to catch one all by himself. The other one he had to have help from the staff because it kept moving away from him and it was in deeper water. All in all...it was only $5 for each kid to swim. Talk about the best $20 bucks I've spent in a long time!!!!
Independence Day
I tried to get Kynsley to take some pictures...she wasn't having it! I hope to have the opportunity again later this week.
