Just some pictures

Just thought I would put some pictures up. I thought I had taken more pictures than I really had. The girls are doing so great. For sure we are holding off on doing the surgery on Carly's arm until 2-3 years old and we are pretty sure it will be done here in Boise....until something changes in her arm that we didn't anticipate. Also, she now has teeth like Madison and I haven't got a picture of the elusive pearlies yet. I also plan on putting some video up but I'm still trying to figure out how to run my video setting on my camera....I guess it would help if I read the directions instead of just pushing buttons right? Anyways, pictures!

Yes that is a beard of drool on Madison's chin... and she is starting to get up on all fours in prep for crawling!

Teamwork: I'm not sure what they are working on-maybe just holding hands (Madison left, Carly right)

Just thought they looked so sweet together! (Mckenna left, Carly right) Madison wasn't behaving so she is the green color you can see on the bottom right corner.

New Pictures!

I guess it's been awhile since I have posted pictures... so here are a few and updates:
Pretty much everyone just keeps on growing and doing so well. Mckenna and Madison don't have much new news except that Mckenna is now 14 1/2 lbs. and Madison is 15 1/2 lbs. Carly is a whopping 16 1/2 lbs! I always worry and want to take her off her milkshake-like formula but they keep on telling me that she is actually at a healthy weight and the other two are a little underweight--so I guess I won't worry anymore.

Carly's trip to Boston has been postponed for now. They really don't want to operate on the arm until they have to so they want to wait until she is a little older (2-3 years old). So even though I just want to get it over with, I guess this is the best thing in the long run. If it ever starts really affecting her development though, then we would move it up. Until then, she's going to be Popeye. She really uses it so well, in fact, she is dominant using the right even though it is so much bigger. She does have a short ulna but it keeps on growing and hopefully will catch up with the radius bone (ulna-radius are the two big bones running down the forearm) and so far doesn't really affect her grasping things with her hand or rotating or anything. I'm kind of bummed not to get moving with it, but in the long run whatever is better for her is most important. Plus, if she is a little older, we might have a possibility of having a radiologist here in Boise do the surgery instead of packing up and heading to Boston. Not that I really would like seeing Boston--- just not with a little baby in tow having surgery there. So..... pictures!

Bleary-eyed Mom and Kenners snuggling.

Madison- this makes her look so innocent when she usually is quite mischievous.

Madison and Carly- the girls really like to hold hands these days.


Carly on her belly- thought her facial expression was funny.

All the girls together! L to R: Madison, Mckenna, Carly
