13 Months Old

Allison is 13 months old! She's still not really walking, but she did take a few consecutive steps this weekend so we know it's coming really soon. She's also getting a mouth full of teeth! They seem to sprout in pairs or threes or fours at a time! That sure makes it tough on her, but we can usually tell when she's a little fussier than normal and attribute it to new teeth erupting. She's been in the bigger class for a couple weeks now and seems to be acclimated to it. She even enjoys when we drop her off with her friends. She's such a sweet and happy baby girl and she's really trying to talk. Sometimes she babbles on and on, of course we don't quite understand what she's saying, but that will change very soon!

Much Love,
Moises & Jennifer

Happy Easter!

We spent this Easter in Texas at the lake house with BB, Papa and the Cains. We knew Allison would enjoy Easter a little more this year than last, but she was still not big enough to run around with the big kids during the Easter hunt. Abigail was so excited all weekend for the Easter bunny to put out the eggs for the hunt. She was very patient and it paid off! The Easter bunny brought the kids lots of goodies. We even let Allison eat some of the chocolate...she loved it. The day before Easter BB let the kids build marshmallow peep/twinkie cars. We all learned  valuable lessons 1. peeps are not good and 2. Avery should not eat peeps! It was a fun weekend for everyone. Happy Easter!

Spring Break!

This week was spring break for the girls, but mommy & daddy had to work so they stayed the week with Grandma and Grandpa at Saul's house. Nathanael was there for the week too so the girls had a playmate! We sure missed the girls while they were away, but we are so glad they got to spend time with grandma & grandpa!

Easter Egg Hunt

This weekend we went to the Oak Point Easter Egg Hunt. It ended up being a lot of fun for both of the girls. They had a petting zoo, bounce house, pony rides and the hunt. The girls got to take pictures with the Easter Bunny, but Allison was not so much a fan! Abby loved petting all the animals, her favorite was the giant bunny. She didn't care much for the goats or chickens. Allison didn't want to even get down to pet the animals so mommy held her instead. Abigail's favorite part was the bounce house, but she also like the pony ride. Allison was definitely a fan of the pony ride and she cried when mommy took her off after the ride! There were a lot of kiddos for the egg hunt and they didn't split them into groups so Abby had to contend with older, bigger kids, which she seemed to do pretty well!

One year checkup

Allison went in for her one year check-up yesterday. She got four shots and they drew blood! It was a rough day for little bit, but she was a trooper. The doctor said she's growing very well and looks like a healthy little toddler. Allison was in the 97% for both height and weight and the 99% for head circumference...yes, definitely a healthy baby girl! We are going to be switching her from formula to milk this weekend and will soon start the transition to sippie cups only. We also got out the trusty training potties, it's getting time for that to start too!

Much Love,

Easter peeps...

Abigail and BB made some cute Easter treats this weekend! We're not sure how long they'll last since Abby loves to eat the peeps....Mommy & daddy are not fans of the peeps!

Allie's First Birthday Party

We celebrated Allison's first birthday in Texas at the lakehouse. We were so excited to have everyone there to celebrate her big day. Grandma made some delicious mole and daddy grilled hamburgers for the little ones. The kids were particularly excited about the cake after lunch. The girls wore matching outfits that grandma & grandpa picked out for them.

 

Allison didn't seem to enjoy her cake too much, but she really liked the candle on her cake! It was such a wonderful day and we are so lucky that we had so many people there to celebrate with her!

 

Much Love,
