Back To School...Already?

I feel like this summer flew by.  Now here were are back at the first day of school.  Frankie in 10th grade at Timponogos, Drew in 1st grade at Rocky Mountain and CeCe ready to learn and spend time with me this whole school year.

 

 

 

You Know What We Did This Summer?

Want some hints?

Do you "C" what I'm saying?

Okay, so I know Cheyenne is 4 months now, but there is something that I need help with.  When we decided on her name one of the reasons that we were excited about the name was what we would call her for short.  Little did we know it would be this difficult to decide how to spell it. 

Here's where you come in...

• Cheyenne's full name is Cheyenne Chispita Clark
• For short we want to call her by her first and middle initials...C.C.
• How would you spell it?

Fun Facts:

• Cheyenne smiles more and more.
• Is awake for a lot longer periods of time.
• She is such a friendly baby.  She smiles at any one that she comes in contact with.
• She has started rolling over from side to side and working on rolling to her tummy and back.
• She is getting her voice through her trach.
• She is beginning to reach for her feet and play with them.
• She blinks back at you when you say "ojitos"  (little eyes) as you blink to her.
• She reaches her toys and puts them straight in her mouth.
• We think there might be a tooth peeking out.
• She accidentally does a kissing sound with her lips.
• She is holding her head up with out wobbling.
• She loves sitting up and is getting good at sitting with almost no help.

Medical Facts:

• She had a swallow study done and the results indicated she protects her airway. Making it one step closer to bottle feedings.
• She was given a Passy Muir Valve (speaking valve).  This helps her project her voice through her throat and out her mouth, smell and taste.  She is not to fond of it because for the first time she can hear herself which is a strange thing for all of us.
