Comic Con 2014

We made it this year.  Kali and Jen got to enjoy a few hours hanging out with superstars and pop culture fans. We even brought home a few friends.

Surgery for Lawsyn

Lawsyn had a sebaceous nevus on his right firehead wgen he was born. We thought it was a scratch at first since he had a tough time coming out and had a few bruises, but this "scratch" never went away.

In March, we saw our dermatologist who confirmed it was a sebaceous nevus and recommended that we consider removing it because it had the potential to grow and become an issue as Lawsyn goes through puberty.

July 16th ended up our big day for surgery to have the nevus removed.  Dr. Raloh Holmes was our plastic surgeon.  He happens to be one of the other plastic surgeons in the same group as Dr. Amanda Gosman,  Kali's plastic surgeon.  Kali was not shy... she showed Dr. Holmes and his residents her belly with pride.

Lawsyn did fine with the 45 minute procedure and even quicker in the recovery room. Lawsyn didn't even seemed phased by all this one bit.

6 Month and Counting

Our little man is growing and maturing so quickly. He is almost about to crawl and can get into position but he hasn't quite figured out how to coordinate his legs to move him forwards.  His hands do the work and ends up propelling him backwards. Many times we find him stuck in a corner or trapped in his play gym with the bar between his legs. Oh Lawsyn...

Memorial Day Getaway

We traveled out of town to Orange County this past weekend for a day in the sun. Lawsyn went swimming for the first time and even went underwater.  Kali splashed around but hated getting her hair and face wet. Needless to say, Matt dunked her before she got out of the pool.

We also couldn't leave without a trip to Downtown Disney. We finally convinced ourselves to have the kids sit for their caricature portraits. It ended up being really cute.  Lawsyn was Buzz Lightyear and Kali was Queen Elsa from Frozen. Kali got a blue Elsa shirt and refuses to remove it.
