Danika's 9 month check up

Hey everybody!! Danika had her 9 month check up Monday and we found out that she is a whopping 20 lbs even and she is 29 inches long. She had a real hard time with this check up for some reason. She cried the entire time the doctor was looking at her to make sure everything was okay. I think she just doesn't like the lady who is a PA. Her PA is also my PA so maybe my vibes of dislike rubbed off on Danika so she screams every time she sees Dr. Ferrand. Lowell is coming home on the 1st and will be staying for about 2 weeks. We are having a mini family birthday for Danika while he is here so we can video tape it and he can take it with him to the desert. Well we hope all is well with you and ask for your prayers and thoughts to be with Lowell while he is in the desert.

Danika getting teeth/Lowell coming home

Danika is getting 4 upper teeth at the same time. She is loving life. She is almost walking. Right now she cruises around the furniture and crawls so fast that I miss place her sometimes. Lowell is coming home on May 1st. He will stay here for about two weeks and then he will go back to the desert for another 8 months. We will find out how much Danika weighs and how tall she is on April 23rd and then I will do another blog for that appointment. Danika is eating solid foods like cheerios, bananas, bread, the basics. She loves to play with kids even though she can't keep up yet she loves to watch them play and tries to catch them. Until next time keep smiling.

Just keeping busy

Danika turns 9 months this week and I will write again to tell about her check up, but I wanted to give a Lowell update as well. Lowell is the Group Leader in his "ward", which is actually called a group out there because there aren't very many people there. He said that there is only about 15-20 people that go in the morning. He doesn't know about the ones that go in the afternoon. His Group Leader Assistant does Sacrament in the afternoon. Here are some old and new pictures of Danika growing up. He is doing great, but at the same time he is struggling with his own demons and he really needs to be in your prayers. He also needs your support and letters would really boost his moral and spirit. Until next time keep praying for Lowell and our troops.
