20 Months old!

Allison is 20 months old! She almost has all of her teeth, just missing two on the bottom. We expect those to come through anytime, as her little gums are very inflamed. Her vocabulary continues to expand and she is very eager to learn. She enjoys pointing to objects that she knows the names of and saying the word until you repeat it back to her to confirm she's right! She also seems to be growing at a tremendous pace and it's hard to keep up with her shoes and clothes. We saved all of Abigail's clothes for Allie to use, but since they were born at different times of the year, the timing of their clothing is just off enough that a lot of the clothes go unused! Allison, of course, does not mind since she gets to go shopping for new clothes and shoes!

Much Love,

Pumpkin Carving 2016

Sunday evening was pumpkin carving time in the Ledezma House! We waited until closer to Halloween this year since our pumpkins always rot before the big day! Hopefully, they'll last this year! Abigail was so excited to start carving, she didn't even want to wait for sissy to get up from her nap. As soon as Allie woke up we got started cleaning pumpkins. Allison was not a fan....not.at.all. We decided it would be best for everyone to let her watch Masha & Bear while we cleaned and carved. Mommy did snap some photos for posterity's sake though! Both girls seemed to like the finished product once all was said and done!

Sleepover!

Abby went up to stay with Sally Kate on Saturday night. They had not seen each other in forever, so it was a special treat! Aunt Sarah said that both girls play together so well, but are very competitive - in a good way! They had spelling matches for one thing! Then they played dress up and went to the Amazeum. Abigail was exhausted when we picked her up on Sunday and slept most of the way home!

A Trip to Houston

We headed down to H-Town this weekend for a visit to the Cains and to watch the Houston Cougars play! We had never been to a Houston game before and Cougars apparel is not easy to come by in Arkansas. Fortunately, Alisha & Ryan were ready with plenty of Cougar shirts for us all to wear. Chia even did cute, matching braids for Reece and Abby. We had such an awesome time visiting and Abigail was so excited to finally have a sleep over at Reece's house! Too much fun!

Mommy, Daughter Weekend

This weekend it was just the girls! Daddy had some meetings and a football game in Texas so the girls and mommy spent the weekend together. We had a great time, we went shopping for some winter shoes, made cookies and went to a trampoline park. Abigail still loves baking cookies. So we bought some special pre-cut pumpkin sugar cookies. Allison enjoyed helping putting the cookies on the tray too!

 

Abigail loves shopping for clothes and Allison is definitely catching up to the fashion bug as well. Although her preferences is for shoes rather than clothes. We got both girls some winter shoes, since it'll be here before you know it!

 

On Sunday, we headed to the local trampoline park...full disclosure, Mommy was supposed to take Abby for a birthday party. She thought the party was 2-4, but it was 12-2 so naturally we missed it!!! Eek, Mommy felt so bad that she let the girls play on the trampolines. Allie was not a fan of the jumping, but Abigail loved it!

 

Mommy is exhausted and ready for Daddy to come home!

Sister Time....

As with most sibilings (if not all) these girls have their share of disagreements, but for the most part these girls are completely sweet with each other. Dad & mom look at each other sometimes and wonder what it is that we did to have such great, compassionate and good natured children. Even in the mornings when both girls are cranky and don't want to see each other, they always hug to say goodbye...no matter what! It's so touching and wonderful to see as a parent. We hope that we can help their love for one another grow, they are so important to each other!

Much Love,

Wild Things Party!

This weekend Abby and Allie attended Andrew's birthday party at Wild Things Farm. It was Abby's first time seeing her old school friends in a long time, so she was very excited. The kids got to pet goats, bunnies and sheep. There was also a huge slide and corn maze. Unfortunately, one of the kiddos got lost in there so we had to send in a search party to find him. It was really, really hot, so by the time we got back to the picnic, both girls were thirsty for water and hungry for cake. Allison really enjoys being one of the big kids, guess that's the benefit of being the little sister!

Much Love,
