They Are Kinda a Big Deal

 

These four of ours have had some major events happen as of late... Number 1 (aka Grant) just got glasses!!

 Earlier in the school year he came home one day completely distraught.  We found out it was the vision testing day and he said everyone thought it was easy, but he thought it was so hard!  He may have shed a few tears because he got some answers wrong and was worried he would need the lenses.  I emailed the teacher and she said the vision testing results from Grant were fine and we would have received a letter if he needed a follow up.  So, we just kept an eye on him and took him to an eye doctor this spring. Poor kid was practically blind, for real.  In his appointment, I had to pull him aside and ask if he was trying to get all the letters wrong (cuz he wasn't reading one correctly!).  He was so exasperated that I would even question him.  He is a bit of an exaggerator, though, so I never know.  Anyway, doesn't he look older and ever so wise?  You are so welcome Grant for inheriting my terrible vision and getting glasses at the exact age I did. 

 These two lovely ladies had their spring dance recital.  Unlike the December one, Brenna let me put makeup on her.  However, by the time we were walking out the door, she had black mascara lines running down her face and smeared across her hands.How do the other littles wear makeup happily and spotlessly?  So, we opted for the au naturale look for her and dolled up Miss Katelee.  My friend took some great pics from the dress rehearsal she forwarded on, here are a few...

 

  Thank heavens for helpers-Michelle did Katelee's hair and Malia was here visiting, so she helped get them ready and out the door on time.  Both girls were fabulous!  Brenna owned it (I even had text after from people saying how her hips sure can shake!).


 And Katelee looked like she loved it so much more than last time.  She has ended her dancing career on a high note!!  She even had three dances to remember at this performance, it was a lot of fun! 


And, of course #4 (aka Harrison) is always a big deal around here, but as of yesterday, he has officially been out of utero as long as he was in there!  Yep, he is 9 months old!

 
We tried to get a photo op in his regular monthly spot, but he didn't think sitting around was very fun, but standing sure is...


He is still a big huge momma's boy with no teeth.  We are hoping baby dentures are not in his future! He is not in a hurry to walk cuz he is a speed crawler.  Harrison is close to clapping on his own and he mimics 'hi' and 'yay' pretty well.   He isn't a fan of eating much, he pops things right out of his mouth, but he has had some good nights this month where he only wakes up around 4 or 5 then back to bed after a feeding.  That is a HUGE deal! 

Yea, there were some nights he was up all hours -I keep thinking he is teething, but he has nothing to show for it...at all.  He is a funny dude, little Harry and a bit on the demanding and dramatic side...takes after one of his sisters, I'm not going to say if it is more like number 2 or number 3!!  He is so happy to have me hold him all day and walk around attempting to one hand all my chores. LOVE our little babe!
