The Kiddos!

I have missed so many updates and things I should have blogged about but maybe i'll catch up eventually. Today both of the kids had well check ups. They are both doing great. Well with the exception of Austin's ears. So here is the scoop:
Allison:
3 months old
10.13 lbs and is in the 17th percentile and is 23 inches long and in the 40th percentile.
She is doing great! Sleeping through the night, holding her head up, and cooing all the time. She is just a small little peanut.
Austin:
2.5 years old
32 lbs 67th percentile and 37 inches tall wich is the 64th percentile. He is very active, independent and assertive! He is working on potty training and doing a great job (so proud of him)! He lost his second set of tubes in January and has had 2 ear infections since then. We go see our ENT in May and his pediatrician said she is leaving it up to him to decide but she guesses he may need a 3rd set of tubes in his ears.
Overall our kids are doing great. I am so thankful that God has blessed us with these two precious little ones. I am also so thankful that I get to stay home with them and enjoy every minute!
A special thanks goes out to Grandmommy today for enduring the doctor visit. Both kids got shots and needless to say there were lots of tears and it was so nice to have a second set of loving arms to help hold my sweet babies who were crying!

Alli Jane


So little Miss Alli is now two months old and we love her so very much. There are so many things that we think she does that is cute and sweet. And Ace, Jake, and I think she is pretty perfect! So here are a few things that make us smile:
-When Alli looks at a bright light or TV her eyes get really wide and open.
-She is very laid back. When she wakes up she will coo and grunt till you pick her up to feed her...but....if you wait too long and she gets really hungry there will be crying with real tears until you put the bottle in her mouth!
-But really overall she is sooo laid back. She tolerates Ace man holding her and picking at her for many hours during a day, all because she knows that he only does that because he loves her.
- She is an awesome sleeper...which mommy loves.
- Our favorite thing is she will work up to sneeze and if she doesn't actually sneeze she lets out this long coo of like relief!
- And when she can't actually get tears out to cry she will stick out her bottom lip and work at it until she can get a cry going to get what she wants!
We LOVE YOU ALLI JANE!
