6 months old!!!

Ava is 6 months old now, and it has flown by!

She weighed in at 18lbs 3 oz (Miles was 19lbs at 6mo), is 27 in tall (Miles- 28 1/2). Though we have a return of the reflux she is on a new med and is happily enjoying solid food!

She is sitting up by herself and talking up a storm. she tries to make you laugh by doing this crazy growling, grunting noise, and is just an overall happy girl! She adores her big brother and the feeling is definitely mutual. Miles can consistently make her belly laugh like no one else and is so helpful in making sure Ava is well taken care of! We couldn't ask for 2 better kids!

Here's an updated look at her progression in pictures!

Miles' 5th Birthday Party!!!

We had Miles birthday party a bit early this year so that family could come down and join us. Months ago he said he wanted a magician birthday, so we got Bryan Lizotte to come and entertain the kids. He was wonderful and really engaged everyone no matter how big or small! Miles had a great time with his friends and even got some magic in his wand to do a trick with Bryan!

Miles and Mommy recently enjoyed a date to see Toy Story 3 and ever since he has wanted a "hard toy Buzz-Lightyear, like Nicky has." Not only did he get his wish, but a whole bunch of other Toy Story presents! He is one lucky little boy and so are we!

Miles and Ava's Baptism/Dedication Service

So we have been members of South Church for about a year and had decided we would get both kids baptized at the same time. Our church is a wonderful community of people who openly welcomed our entire family for the day and celebrated our kids with us! The service was wonderful and the kids behaved well. Afterwards we were fortunate to have all of our family join us at the house, and our friend Jean Molodetz come and take pictures of all the generations (visit her website to see them.. they are gorgeous, and she is incredibly talented!)

Here are the pics we got of the day!

Lots of catching up to do!!!

It has been very hectic around here with summer fun and two kids to chase after, so blogging has lagged behind a bit. So here are some of the pics you have missed... Enjoy!
