Visitors

We have had a wonderful train of family and friends visiting for the last couple of weeks, and more are coming in the next couple of weeks. It's great to have such a wonderful reason to see everyone! Nana visited June 11-14th; Grandma and Grandpa Ruane came down for the day on Sunday, June 13th; then Auntie Julia visited June 15-17; Mommy's cousin Heather stopped by June 19th; Frances is going to visit June 22-26, and then Grandma Ruane is going to visit the following week. It's great to see all of you!


We were especially happy to have Nana around last weekend, when Aidan ended up going to the hospital. Aidan had a virus with a low fever and very sore throat over the weekend, and then on Saturday afternoon woke up choking!. He ended up being okay, , but I called 911 and he went to the hospital with Daddy in an ambulance - he's such a brave boy! We were much happier mid-week when Aidan got over being sick, and Kiana didn't pick up the virus (such a relief!).


One of my favorite things that Kiana is doing right now is giving little baby hugs - she regularly stretches her left arm over my shoulder when I burp her, while she drifts off to sleep. I love it!


Here are some of the things Aidan has been saying recently: (he is such a good big brother!)
- Mommy, I can't wait till Kiana's [here] today! (Tuesday morning, June 1)
- Mommy, your tummy is getting smaller! (after coming home with Kiana from the hospital)
- Kiana, I love you.
- It's okay, Kiana! (regularly now, after Kiana cries)
- Mommy, I want her! I want to hold her! (He's been asking to hold her every day, and then sits quietly holding her on the boppy pillow)
- Kiana, I'm going on the trains now. I'll miss you. (Saturday morning, June 20th)
