3 Months Old!

Allison is now three months old! She really seems to be a firecracker! She's very verbal and giggles a lot. She has started getting used to daycare and is napping well there and sleeping great at home! She is growing so fast she's hardly fitting in any of the clothes we had for her. It's hard to believe that she is already three months, it's gone so fast!

Much Love,

Swimming Time!

Abigail started swim lessons tonight at a local pool. She loves swimming and we knew that she'd love to be able to swim without the assistance of floaties! She also hates going underwater so maybe this will improve that as well. Tonight during bath time we practiced some of her moves! Daddy is going to take her to get some princess goggles tomorrow after school.

Memorial Day

This past weekend we celebrated Memorial Day with a bout of sleep training! Prior to this weekend Allison had developed a wonderful case of insomnia, we would spend hours, seriously, hours putting her to sleep each night only for her to wake up a short time later and start the process all over. By the end of the night Allie, mommy & daddy were running on a 2-3 hours of sleep. For a couple weeks, it was a tough go.  We were a little worried that maybe she was too young for sleep training, but given her weight (well, over the 11 pound requirement) and all of our sleep needs we decided to make a go of it on this long weekend. Fortunately, only one night was bad and by the end of the weekend she was falling asleep within a few minutes of putting her in the crib. She seems to be much more relaxed during the day and we aren't walking zombies....knock on wood that this will continue!

The rest of the weekend we grilled out, watched movies, played with the girls and had cousin Logan and Uncle Eric over to eat. Abby loves spending time with them so she was really thrilled when we told her Logan was going to be coming by! On Monday, we decided to have a pancake breakfast at IHOP. As usual Abs was excited because she loves pancakes so much.

Mother's Day

It was mommy's first year as a mom of two and she had a very special time with her girls! It was a wonderful weekend. Jennifer had to spend some time Saturday prepping for the annual Petropolitan this upcoming Friday, so Abby came with her. Abby was such a good girl, everyone commented on how well behaved she was the whole day!

Much Love,
Moises & Jennifer

This was Abby's spot while mommy worked on the Petropolitan event set up!

Dinner with Pop & 2 Month Check up

Pop made a quick trip to Arkansas to celebrate the 8th Annual D.C. Lind III Bug Boil, which raises money for scholarships to U of A in D.C.'s name. This year they raised a lot of money to help a deserving student go to college. Unfortunately, we were not able to attend because Jennifer had meetings in Dallas on Friday and we planned to stay the weekend for ease on Allison! The good news was that before Pop headed out of town we planned a dinner so we could visit with him and he could meet Allison. The bad news was that Allie had to have her 2 month check up the same day, which also meant a round of shots.

The doctor said Allison is still growing very well, but her huge weight gain that she had in the first 6 weeks has settled down. She's now only in the 91st percentile at 13.14 oz and in the 95th percentile for height at 24". I was a little concerned since our home scale had weighed her at above 14 pounds, but the doctor said not to worry and that her weight gain needed to slow down anyway - - a pound a week was too much! All of Allison's vitals were great and doc said she's a healthy baby girl. The shots did not go too well, but Allison quickly got over it by the time we got her in the car to head up to see Pop for dinner.

Once we got up to Fayetteville, Allison was much better and she lounged around checking all the new sights and sounds. Abigail gave a quick hi to Pop and then headed off to play with Sally Kate. Allison took a good long nap while we ate dinner and talked with everyone, but she woke up very upset and ready to go. We did not stay long after that. It was great seeing Pop, we wished we could have seen him a little longer.

Lakehouse Visit

This weekend we headed to the lakehouse to visit cousins Reece and Avery. We were very excited to introduce Allison to Alisha, Ryan and the kiddos. Abigail was also super excited to hang out with Reece. Papa and BB also just bought two jet skis for the lakehouse so we were looking forward to trying those out as well.

The boys spent most of Saturday morning getting them set up and launched while the girls and kids played at the house. Once they got back to the house Daddy took Abigail for her first jet ski ride and she loved it! She held on tight to daddy while he went faster and faster. Then he took Abigail for a swim at the pool. Mommy and Allison watched them play in the water. Allie is still a little to young to be swimming, but it looked like she couldn't wait to try it out!

Much Love,
