11 Months

11 Months

Dixcee loves climbing and chasing her brother. She loves playing outside,going down slides, otter pops, ice cream and swimming, basically EVERYTHING summer! Which makes sense since she is a summer baby. She got her first tooth!! FINALLY! The biggest milestone of this month.

She's a daddy’s girl through and through. Every time he walks through the door she heads straight for him. She isn't saying many words still, just mama and bubba (Rio). She calls both Dad and I mama.

The Fourth of July was pretty interesting. While Hudson was super scared of the fireworks we did outside, Dixcee really didn't even care. When we were watching the fireworks the city put on Dixcee was entertained and watched for a little bit, but then zonked pretty quick. She is such a sweet girl and we never get cuddles from her, so that was fun!

I lost my mom this month and Dixcee lost her grandma. My mom’s full name is Ronalyn, after her father Ronald and her mother Linda, she named me Nicole Lyn, and I gave Dixcee the middle name of Lyn after my mom and I. It’s been extremely hard, especially knowing that my kids will never really know their Grandma Mortensen. They will never be able to physically see how much she loved them, but I pray they will always recognize her love when they feel it in their hearts.
