Our big 6 year old stats AND the Tooth Fairy paid us a visit!

We lost our first tooth!! In June Phia showed me a bump behind her bottom tooth and I thought it would go away and instead a tooth started popping out!! Eeks...mama immediately googled it and discovered our princess had a "shark tooth" growing in! Well, it finally fell out and it happened while she was in dance class.  Not surprising as she has dance 4x/week but it was very exciting to all her fellow dancers and that night we had our first visit from the tooth fairy! Phia of course wrote a note to the fairy and she brought her a very glittery $5 bill wrapped in purple ribbon.  She was super excited and brought the money to school to show all her friends.  Phia was also the first child to lose a tooth during this school year so she got to place a paper tooth on the classroom door:) We had our 6 year check-up and Phia's stats are as follows:

weight: 47lbs(58th percentile)
Height: 45.5(48th percentile)
blood pressure: 99/59

She still has a little heart murmur which she's had from birth.  Doc still assures us it's not problem and she'll grow out of it.  She also said that Phia will be just like her mama and not get a lot of her height until she's a teenager(which explains why she's only in the 48th percentile for height!) She's perfectly healthy and loving every minute of Kindergarten so far! Our silly girl opted for the flu SHOT over the mist even though I assured her the mist didn't hurt.  The shot wasn't great but she got through it.

For her first project in Kindergarten she had to make this leaf all about her family for the "family tree" in her classroom.  We think she did a perfect job!

Our Olivia is 15 months!!

There is so much to say about Olivia but I'll start with her stats.  She's going to be our very tall girl just like her mama:

Weight: 26.5lbs (90th percentile)
Height: 32"(89th percentile)
Head: 46 1/4 (59th percentile)

She's super verbal.  She can "over der" , "Hi Nana"(this is what she says to everyone.  She learned "Hi" and "Nana" at the same time and thinks it's the way to greet people), "up", "baba", "mama", "no", "dada".  She walk/runs everywhere.  She hums "Twinkle Twinkle" which is about the cutest thing ever!! Climbs up on the couch.  She comes to Cardio Barre with Mama and although she loved it during the summer with ALL her siblings...all of a sudden doesn't like it and cries the entire time.  Wahhhh.  Poor baby:(  She gives high 5's.  She's super duper flexible.  She can do the full splits and flexes her talent ALL the time.  Olivia is very friendly, super duper giggly, and loves to snuggle up and give hugs.  She's very much a Tees baby as all of our kids have always been very social and friendly.  We just love this little lady so much a love watching her blossom!

Kinder, TK, Preschool OH MY!!

We had a HUGE week this week!  Our Sophia Lil' started Kindergarten, Presto started Transitional Kinder, and Bentley started Preschool.  It's a wild schedule for mama to keep up with as they all 3 get out at different  times and Phia has dance 4x/week and Preston has karate and is starting baseball soon but I'm starting to get the hang of it.  Bentley did AMAZING!! Didn't skip a beat.  Ms. Katelyn(principal) said she visited Bentley's room a few times and he adjusted immediately! Bentley was most proud of his lunch "I ate my WHOLE lunch mama!!".  He's so excited to wear his uniform like his big brother and sister:) Preston managed to go to the treasure box 2x the first week of school...what??!! Wohooo!!! Kinder is very strict and Phia is getting used to all the rules.  If they are even 30 seconds late the door closes and they don't get a "job" for the day.  Jobs are a big deal in Kinder...Phia got to answer the room phone one day which was definitely her highlight!!  We cannot believe we have 3 in school...suuuuuuuper part time but still they're all learning so quickly and we must say how blessed we feel to attend such an amazing school!!

A pool party celebration for our big 6 year old!

This year we had a small get together at the pool so Sophia could celebrate her birthday with her friends(and family).  She was so excited that everyone was able to make it and she was especially excited that her "buddy" Harrison came! He's a year older than Sophia and they had a very special friendship at school and he graduated this year so she'll have to wait until elementary to see him again. Nonno picked up the pizza and cake for us since we were racing home from Phia's recital.  We still cannot believe we have a 6 year old.  She's currently growing her first "shark tooth" but hasn't lost any teeth and will start Kindergarten in one week.  She's not excited about it and says "it's going to be WAY too hard".  We have no doubt that she will excel quickly and do amazing and we are so excited that she finally has Mrs. Meyer this year...we've been waiting for this since we started this amazing school.  Mrs. Meyer is one special lady!! Our Phia is super smart, and a natural born leader.  She loves pretending to put on cooking shows, she loves dressing up, swimming, watching literally anything on tv, and her latest obsession is stashing mama's old iphone in her room so she can watch old videos on it in bed before she falls asleep.  She loves to help mama cook and clean and is so very friendly! Her and Preston are inseparable.  They fight and make up over an over all day and cannot be without each other.  We love you to pieces Miss Phi Lil'....you are our sweetest pea:) xoxo(oh and her pictured cake was designed by the birthday girl! She was VERY particular as usual about the colors of the rainbow only being pink, purple, and white alternating with chocolate frosting and pink clouds! We think it turned out just perfect)
