Avery:
- Sits up like a pro!
- Hasn't shown any interest in crawling or rolling over, but loves her exersaucer.
- Eats all the time! Usually eats a jar and half for every meal, then a 6 oz bottle shortly after
- Finally has a tickle spot on her ribs up to her armpit. It doesn't really make her laugh, but it makes her squirm and fold in half
- Super friendly and will go to anyone (providing she isn't ready for a nap). Smiles at anyone who talks to her. People always comment on how happy she is.
- Still has grayish eyes...though they look brown in some pictures
- Pooped in the tub for the first time yesterday :(
- Is doing well drinking out of a cup if I hold it
- Loves swimming and kicks like crazy in the water
- Loves little kids
- Wears 9-12 months clothes, size 4 diapers
- Weighs 21 lbs
- Had croop this month :(
- Still wakes up around 6 for a bottle
- Loves to touch people's faces, put her hands in their mouth
- Still a thumb sucker, loves putting soft things next to her face.
- Is becoming a bit of a Mama's girl (especially during the reunions this weekend)
- Yells indignantly if you don't pay enough attention to her
Chloe:
- Is very "passionate". She has highs and lows...she'll go from REALLY happy and fun to REALLY cranky and sad just like that!
- ALWAYS wants to help! No matter what I'm doing, she wants to help, so we always find little jobs for her...like when I sew I always have to give her fabric and scissors and when Ronnie is fixing something she always has a screwdriver and screws...she'll say "Can I help??? Can I, can I????"
- She's becoming quite the singer and during sacrament meeting, she'll just sing a random tune as load as she can while we sing the hymns. She often sings while she goes to the bathroom. She sings "I Am a Child of God" to Avery when she's sad.
- Has learned how to sneak and fib...ack! She sneaks into my things just like I used to sneak into my mom's.
- Loves books
- Loves Dora, Curious George and Avatar
- Loves to ride her bike
- Ronnie got her a power wheels jeep at a yard sale and she is obsessed! She doesn't really like to drive it yet, but she talks about it all the time. If I can't find her in the house she is in the garage sitting in it and "fixing" it.
- Wears 3t and sometimes 4t (in dresses, swimming suits etc)
- Size 9 shoes!
- She is a little jokester and likes to tease...sometimes it's hard to get her to take us seriously...
- Loves lip gloss, makeup, doing hair...she likes to get a brush and brush my hair or do my mannequins hair.
- Her best friends are Lucie Judd, Hannah Burrows, and Aiden Fullmer
- She is the naughty word police, especially with Ronnie. If he says "stupid" or anything like that, she'll get her stern voice on and say "DAD! You can't say stupid, or I'll put you in time out!"
- Was also sick this month, similar to Avery
- We were driving in the car a few days ago and she suddenly said "Mom! Look at that beautiful girl!" I looked but couldn't see anyone so I asked her where and she pointed at the Wendy's sign, with the girl on it! I totally cracked up, but quickly agreed with her. She likes saying "Do I look beautiful? Do I, do I?"
- Will do anything for candy (just like her Mama...).
- Has wanted to help change Avery's poopy diaper a few times and actually did it!
- Last Sunday I took Chloe out of Sacrament meeting because she was being naughty and went to sit in a quiet room until she could be nice. On the way, she said very loudly, "Are you going to hit me Mommy???", with lots of people in hearing range....ya...it was awesome.
My sweet girls definitely know how to push my buttons, but I love them so much and wouldn't trade them for anything. I love teasing and tickling them and hearing them laugh. They are both so beautiful and precious and sometimes I feel so much love for them, it seems like a can't breathe. Of course there are also days when I would consider selling them on the black market, but you forget all of that when you watch them peacefully sleeping later that night :)
