Wedding preview

On July 3rd Kyle's brother, Brett, is getting married. Cameron has been asked to be the flower girl. After some alterations she tried on the dress for a 'final' fitting with shoes. Morgan is wearing the dress that Cameron wore when she was the flower girl in my sister's wedding.

This picture they are practicing for the dance.

First swim of the summer

I haven't found enough courage to venture to the pool with all three kids by myself yet! But over the Father's Day rounds we made, the girls found themselves taking a dip Grandma and Grandpa Bergman's hot tub. Here are some pictures of their first swim.

For those of you who have not seen Cameron's haircut in person...here is a look. You can see on the right side lot of layers that go well beyond her hear. The left side is covered up by the pieces that she missed, thank goodness!! The only solution is to let it grow, grow and grow some more before we even it out. At this point if we were to 'fix' it the only style that would come out if it would be a mullet that even Billy Ray would be jealous of!!

Parker just testing the waters.

Parker is 9 months

Earlier this month little Parker turned 9 months. (9 as Cameron informs everyone) The past 2 months she has made up lots of ground! She has now been without a cold for almost 2 months now and really started moving. Her little army crawl has now upgraded to a full out crawl. She has began to pull herself up on a few things too. Kyle and I don't remember our other girls doing this so young, but Parker is waving bye-bye on cue. Very sweet!!

We saw Parker's cardiologist about a week ago and had some promising news from him. She has a value in her heart that did not close like it was suppose to. The plan from the Dr. was to close the value around 1 year if it has not closed on its own. It has not at this point therefore, the next appointment at the cardiologist will be in August and we will schedule her surgery for sometime in September. The extra value causes extra blood flow, which then creates extra fluid on Parker's lungs. Which makes it easier for her to catch a cold. Our hope is that the surgery will give Parker a much better winter with less colds!

Since Parker was in the hospital in Feb. for RSV, Morgan has been very in tune to the many doctors visited usually followed by a trip to the pharmacy. We probably haven't been to the pharmacy for about 2 months, but each time we drive past the pharmacy Morgan says, "Parker's medicine?" Thinking that we need to make a stop.

Weekend fun

Here are some pictures of a recent trip to Pine Lake for an afternoon on the bike path.

Wanting to take advantage of the nice scenery we had the girls pose next to the bridge. Cameron, our conservative child, is very nervous that Morgan, our wild child, will fall in. So much for that scenic shot!

Again, nice scenery, but who wants to take picture?

The only picture that did turn out good. Cameron sporting the helmet and shades on her bike ride. With only one crash, and no scraps, blood or bruises, we considered it a successful trip!

Movin' on...

This past weekend Parker has made up her mind that she is finished eating baby food. Each time I have tried to feed her she shakes her head NO. Making it very clear that she no longer interested in that baby stuff. We caught her in the act!

Milestones...

The past few days have brought a little excitement to the Bergman house. Let's start from the bottom up...

Parker is just over 8 months now. Monday afternoon I was so pumped to watch her start crawling for the first time!! Take away almost 50 hospital days for 3 different illnesses and all her other run-of-the-mill colds/ear infections, etc. she isn't too far behind for her age. Finally feeling good enough to get moving along!! It had to be one of the most exciting things I've seen her do yet in her short live. Right after she turned 7 months she was rolling over. Now she has found out there are lots of exciting things that Cameron and Morgan drag out all over the floor through out the day and she decided she will get what she is interested in. For some reason this milestone is HUGE to me. After many appointments and visits with the PT's and Development nurse Parker can finally check this GREAT task off her 'to-do list' they have created for her :) Did I mention that the crawl is in reverse...so cute.

Morgan is very close to being potty trained. She could give us a wonderful present if she gets the little details all in line! Not to mention a few extra bucks in our wallet each month!! Her birthday is July 7th and I hope it will maybe complete by then...I'll keep you posted :)

Cameron is finishing up her last week of preschool before summer break. She has enjoyed it so much and learned more than we could have imagined. Of course there are the things that she picked up along the way. Things that were not taught my the teacher, but she claims she picked up from her friends at preschool. Let's just say her vocabulary has grown tremendously :0

Our camera is not working and posting pictures is like a chore from the cave days with regular film!! Soon...I hope to have more pictures!

She's only 4!!!!

Today Cameron had a bit of a sick day. Not feeling well she tried to catch up on some rest from a bad night of being sick too. She has spent much of the day on the couch sleeping and appears to be half alive. After getting a second wind she tuned into the Disney Channel...her fav! A commercial for the NEW Hannah Montana episode came on. She then tells me that Hannah has 2 dates on Saturday! Being curious I say, "Really, what is a date?" Her answer (with her head tilted and hand in bent at the wrist) "You know, when you just hang out with each other."

OH MY! It seriously starts this young????
