11 Months Old!

Wowzers! We're just not sure when it happened that Allison was nearly one year old! Time seems to be marching fast and furious towards her first birthday. She continues to be a bright ray of sunshine in our family. She is standing on her own and sort of will cruise around furniture, but it's clear she's in no rush to be a walker. She also cut two more teeth on top, but this didn't affect her sunny disposition! Mommy and daddy are trying to soak up as much time with her while she's still a "baby"!

Super daddy, super girls, super weekend

This past week daddy was on his own with the girls because mommy had some meetings out of town. Mommy missed her family, but from the looks of it, they had a good time! They are sweet girls with a sweet daddy. Daddy, Papa and the girls headed down to the lake house together on Thursday night because daddy had some business in Dallas too. Then the Cain kids came to town Friday evening. As usual, the kids all had a great time playing. Abigail particularly enjoyed her superhero mask and cape. She took some time to be a "Superhero Bad Guy" complete with evil laugh! It was hilarious when she stunned you with 'ice' from her hands and tried to take your phone....mommy loved it! By Saturday, they were pretty docile before bedtime, Chia couldn't even coax real smiles from any of the older ones.

Cluck Christmas

We celebrated a belated Christmas with the Cluck family this weekend at Terri and Alan's house in Rogers. Abigial usually has a great time seeing her cousins and this year was no exception. The older cousins loved meeting Allison and spent a lot of time entertaining her so mommy could take a break. The food as usual was great and seeing everyone is always a treat.

Allie loves mash potatoes...

 

Allison loves feeding herself! She's not very neat when she does it though and the dogs love the scraps she lets fall to the floor. We had mashed potatoes for dinner tonight and let Allison feed herself. It was her first rendezvous with mashed potatoes and she loved them! She didn't seem to get much in her mouth and most of it ended up on her face. Abigail thought it was pretty funny!

Much Love,

Happy New Year!

2016 is here!! Another wonderful year in the books and it's a time for us to reflect on what a wonderful year 2015 was for our family. We welcomed our newest edition, Allison, and watched as Abigail continues to grow into a loving and sweet young lady. We could not have asked for a better big sister for Allison. 2015 was a busy year for us, especially towards the end. We are looking forward to slowing down for the new year and spending more time close to home...at least for a little while! We spent New Year's Eve at home with the kids and Daddy cooked delicious food for dinner. The girls watched a little TV and played most of New Year's Day. We also spent part of the day putting all our Christmas decorations away. Abigail was such a big help. We are looking forward to 2016!

10 Months Old

 Allison Michelle is 10 months old! We can hardly believe how much faster time is flying this time around. She is really getting to be a fast crawler and has started standing with support for long periods of time. She's not too much into trying to walk with assistance and gets frustrated when we try to get her to do that. She really digs feeding herself table food and we've eliminated all pureed food from her diet. She likes to jabber and can say dada, mama, sissy and ginger.

Much Love,

Merry Christmas 2015!

This year we celebrated Allison's first Christmas. It was so special to Daddy & Mommy to have both our precious girls here, happy and healthy. Our normal Christmas Eve tradition includes making cookies for Santa and reading "'Twas the Night Before Christmas". We also fed Santa's reindeer by moonlight, Abby became worried that Santa would see her out of bed so she rushed back to her room and went to sleep so he would bring her presents.

 

Christmas morning Abby came excitedly into our room ready to open presents, she couldn't believe her eyes! We got sissy up and let the girls open their stockings while we waited for BB and Papa to join us for the opening of the rest of the gifts. Allison seemed to really enjoy tearing open the presents and was excited with all the new toys. Santa got the girls chairs that are perfect for each of their sizes. Allison is still a bit young to fully enjoy the chair, but she'll be there in no time.

 

After Christmas morning breakfast we spent the rest of the day being together and enjoying quiet family time before we headed up the hill to Kurt and Sarah's to celebrate with the Linds. We dressed the girls in their special Christmas outfits from Pop & Mumzie since Sally Kate had a matching outfit too. It was a very warm day, the temperatures reached sixty! We could hardly believe it, but we enjoyed spending the afternoon outside with all the cousins.

 

It was such a special Christmas having our complete family unit together. We are so blessed with such wonderful, sweet girls that make our family complete.

Much Love,
Moises & Jennifer
