Ariana's 9 month check up

Another great appointment! She's growing beautifully.

Ariana weighs 16 lbs 12.6 oz and now in the 23%tile.
She is 2' 4.27" tall and in the 18%tile.
Her head is 17.25" around and in the 44%tile.

I didn't really have any concerns at this appointment, but I did want to talk about food. Ariana still doesn't have any teeth and she only wants to eat what WE are eating! She has no interest in her baby food already. The doctor said she could really eat what we are eating as long as it's soft enough for her. I guess this is a good thing??? What about all the baby food I have in my cabinet? Darn.

She certainly is keeping me on my toes!

Happy 5th Birthday to Alexis!

Our first born is 5 (going on 15)! She's independent, got spunk and BEAUTIFUL!

This year she wanted to invite her girl friends from school and have frozen yogurt. There were 11 girls total at Menchie's. They colored a T-shirt, ate chips and frozen yogurt, played a game, had a visit from Menchie and went home with some goodies!

Everyone seemed to have a great time and Alexis was so excited and happy! She got a lot of nice things from her friends and family. She is one very lucky little girl!


Time to show off the Birthday Girl!

Halloween pics

This year the girls wanted to be princesses for Halloween! Surprise surprise.
So we have Princess Ariel (Alexis) and Princess Rapunzel (Avery). They sure do make beautiful princesses.

(Thanks to Mr. Mike for letting us use his outside decorations. Their yard is beautiful!)






 Ariana had no choice, so she is a pumpkin!

This was so funny. I wanted to try on the pumpkin costume and Ariana does not like anything on her head so she was trying to take it off. I decided to take her to the mirrors because she loves them, and so she could see herself. She was so cute. She opened the one door and then started playing peek-a-boo with her self and laughing! She makes a super cute pumpkin!





Happy Halloween 2015!
