Trinity 4 Months Old!!

Well, can you tell it is summer out there?!?! It is getting hot here and today our air decides that it don't want to work, not a lot of fun in the Arthur house! But we will survive, we have been without air before we can do it again.
Trinity turned 4 months old last Saturday!! She is growing more and more everyday and getting a personality. She is finally starting to like some of the toys we have for her (bouncy seat and swing). The picture that I have on the left side is of Trinity giggling when we took Aubree to the park. It was the first time we ever heard her giggle. The picture below is of her on the floor with some of her toys. She is starting to try and reach for the things above her, but she don't get quite high enough.
We had her four month appointment on Friday with her Pediatrician. Trinity weighed 15lbs. 3oz. and was 23 1/4 long. He felt like she was doing really good and was probably a little behind on some things (rolling over & upper body strength), but that it was to be expected with her condition. We decided to space out Trinity's vaccines, thanks to an email I got from one of my friends Liz. So Trinity only had one shot yesterday and an oral vaccine. We feel really good about our decision and feel like we took the time praying and seeking what God wanted. I know everyone has their own opinion on what is right and what is wrong, but Shannon and I felt like this is what was right for Trinity. We are still waiting for our appointment on the 15th of July, at Children's in Detroit. I think this will be a good opportunity for us to get a second opinion and get some more advice on the different things that Trinity is dealing with (bladder control, leg movement, PT and OT).


Last weekend the Pella PDSN that Shannon works for had a golf outing to raise money for Trinity. This was a fun day of golfing and hanging out with friends. A special thanks to the Wittmer's and Gray's for putting so much work into such a wonderful day. The rain didn't stop anyone from having fun, there were around 40 golfers in attendance. In that 40 were some guys from Iowa and Nebraska, Nick Cross, Tommy Williams, and Wes True. They all flew in on Friday and surprised Shannon. After golfing we enjoyed an evening at the Gray's hanging out. The picture below is of the group of golfers.

On another good note, Aubree is potty trained!!! YEAH!! She is doing really good and has had very few accidents. I guess she just wanted to make the decision on her own. Enjoy the rest of your weekend and we hope you all have a safe 4th of July!!
Love~The Arthur's
