A VERY special request!!!

Dear Alexis,

When I was just a little girl

about the size of you,

I dreamed one day I'd fall in love

And then get married too!

So now that I am all grown up,

about to be a bride,

I want you as my flower girl,

to be right by my side!

For it is common knowledge that

a wedding is not complete,

without a pretty flower girl,

so dear to us and sweet!

Love,

Miss Rebecca

This is Miss Rebecca and her fiance Mark! They will be getting married in June next year and asked me to be their Flower Girl! What a special job! 

Miss Rebecca is a very good friend of mommy's, who she also works with.

Thank you Miss Rebecca for thinking of me, loving me and asking me to be in your wedding! I can't wait to go and pick out my pretty dress with you! 

Love, Alexis

A few recent pics

This past weekend was the Fall Festival at the girl's school.
Here, Avery was feeling the inside of a pumpkin!

 Alexis made a paper plate pumpkin.

 Painting their pumpkins!

 This was from Alexis's Halloween parade at school! She was dressed as Princess Sophia!

Tomorrow night is Trick-or-Treat night and we are looking forward to it!
Happy Halloween everyone!

Avery's 15-month check-up

It went well today.

Avery weighs 21 lb 0.5 oz. This puts her in the 44.98%tile based on weight for age.
She stands 2' 7.25" tall and in the 66.47%tile for weight.
Her head is 18.5" around which puts her in the 80.48%tile for head circumference.

They did not give her her vaccines today due to still having the low-grade fever as of the weekend.

They recommend I take her to the dentist right around 18 months of age.

I need to start a Vitamin D supplement and they encouraged me to call Early Intervention for Speech Therapy. This is through the same program that provided her Physical Therapy back when she was 7/8 months old.

Over all, all is good!

Trick or Treat!

Sorry, don't think I'll be getting Halloween cards in time.

Here are our girls in their Halloween costumes!

A Princess, of course! (Princess Sophia)

And her Ladybug sidekick!

Happy Halloween!
Love,
Alexis & Avery

Notice anything new?

Alexis has been asking and asking to get her ears pierced.
I was honest with her and I told her it was going to hurt, but only for a minute. She still wanted it done.

We have it on video and it's pretty funny! She SCREAMED!!!

Although it hurt then, she loves it now! She slept well last night and is letting me clean them. I hope this continues to go well, for the next 6 weeks!

Now Daddy can buy her jewelry!

Alexis's 3-year Well Visit

Tuesday Alexis had her 3-year well check. All went very well and not too much to report.

She weighs 27 lb 8.9 oz - this puts her in the17.58%tile based on the CDC 2-20 years weight for age.
She is 3' 0.6" tall - and in the 32.5%tile
Blood pressure was 84/38 - and in the 12.19%tile.

A lot of the "what your child is learning" she is doing and even most of the "what your child will be learning next"! She's doing great!

No problems, no concerns and no worries.

Thanks for checking in!

Walk

A walk down memory lane...

The pic of Ben next to Avery made me think of when we were at the Apple Orchard last year. I took a picture that day that I really loved!

Makes me smile! What can I say?

 Thank you Chris and Heidi for an awesome day. We go to a Pumpkin Patch every year, and this was extra special! We had a great day!
Thank you to Frank and Kristen for spending a beautiful October day with us! Our girls had such a fun day with Jackson!

Happy Fall everyone!
Love,
Alexis & Avery
