First, in May, we took Lindy to Disney World for the first time. The Killimetts and Richardsons joined us and we all had a blast together. We started the trip by having a relaxing day of pool time, Rain Forest Cafe dinner, and then mini-golf. Everything was great until the kids went through this Fantasia tunnel towards the end and the lights went out and some devil-looking picture flashed on the wall. All three kids cried and were terrified. Lindy still brings up the tunnel any time we talk about golf. Day 2 was spent at Animal Kingdom, which was fun, but probably a little too spread out for their short little legs. Day 3 was the best...Magic Kingdom did not disappoint. Lindy's favorite part of the day was meeting Cinderella and Belle (something about Sleeping Beauty scared her).We left midday for naps and then returned for the parade and fireworks...all three kids loved it!
Then, a couple of weeks ago she had her first visit to the dentist. I was so hoping that Lindy has my teeth, as I have had only 2 cavities in my life and haven't had any problems with my teeth. On the other hand, Mike's teeth are terrible and he's had braces and several problems as an adult. Unfortunately, she might look like her mommy, but she got her daddy's teeth. The dentist already warned us to be prepared for braces and she has two spots on her baby teeth that will probably turn into cavities. Lindy was excited for the dentist visit until they tried to x-ray her teeth...she screamed bloody murder. Luckily a super-nice hygienist heard her screams and switched patients with a colleague so Lindy could get her cleaning underway without too much anxiety. By the end of the visit, Lindy declared that she couldn't wait to go back! She is even embracing our new routine of trying new toothpaste that she has to spit out and putting ACT on her two teeth with a q-tip. They also want me to floss her teeth, but mommy hasn't had the energy to tackle that yet.
Finally, Lindy and Mike went on their first Daddy/Daughter trip over the 4th of July weekend. Lindy was not excited to leave without me...she's definitely become a mamma's girl since I'm home so much now. She had a slight meltdown before we left for the airport, but once we got in the car and she asked Mike several questions about the flight she was fine. Mike didn't take any pics, but I've heard several stories about swimming in the lake, playing with her cousin, Sarah, and sleeping in the tent. She admits that she had a lot of fun, but was ready to come home!
I'll have to update with another first in a few weeks as Lindy will be meeting her new sister, Sloan. As I put Lindy to bed tonight, she wanted to look at her picture book, which included pictures of her ultrasounds, all my showers, and pics of when she was first born up through 3 months old. She was concerned that "Swoany" did not get a cake like she did when she was born ( she was referring to the cakes at all three of my showers) and that Swoany did not have a best friend like Caden. I assured her that we will celebrate Sloan's birth with a beautiful cake and that I'm sure Sloan will be lucky enough to have a great best friend like her Caden!
