Alli's 1st lost tooth

Alli, you lost your first tooth! It has been wiggling for a couple of weeks. Daddy had been trying to pull it, and then we put you girls to bed and 2 seconds later you came out soooo excited because you had pulled it out yourself. You also realized you have another loose tooth as well. This was harder on me that I would have expected. You are growing up way faster than I would like. I enjoy getting to be your mommy, and watching you grow. I am very proud of you.

Gracie, you were sooo excited for Alli. Anyone would have thought it was you who had lost the tooth. You were all too willing to get out of bed for the celebration;)

Rest time drawing

Alli, you are drawing and writing a lot right now. This is what you did today during your rest time.
I think this says I like my sister. I LOVE seeing how you try and sound things out by yourself!

I think you did a GREAT job with all of these. I am so proud of how hard you work to learn to read and write. I hope your love of learning will continue as you get older. I just wanted you to have a sample of what you were able to do at 5 years old.

Christopher's 2 month checkup.

Christopher your sister's are sooo excited to be holding you standing up! This is a very big deal because I always make them sit to hold you. You are pretty happy and have no idea the danger you are in. You also had your 2 month checkup today. You are 10lbs 14oz, and 23in. You are growing right on schedule, and doing new and cute things every day. You have started talking and cooing at us lots which is fun.
