Avery & Shane November '12

 

Shane: 
Talking now!  His vocabulary is expanding, although he is quiet :)
Bye
Hi
Momma
Dadda
Ball
Out

And he points at everything and says, "da". He is so happy all.the.time.  He has dropped his afternoon nap and only takes 1 nap now.  He eats very well.  I fear for his teenage years.  I am sure he is going to eat us out of house and home.  And I dont know if it's because I didn't pray for him to be outgoing (like I did with Avery), or if it's because his birthday is so close to mine and it's a Cancer thing...BUT he reminds me of myself a lot.  He is very independent and is VERY particular with his affection.  He seriously could not be any more perfect!  Such an angel.  That is how I describe him to everyone.  An angel sent straight from heaven.

Avery: 
She is so bossy and sassy.  I know where she gets it from.  No matter how rough she can be with Shane, she is such an amazing big sister.  She protects him, and helps him.  I LOVE that they play together so well :)  Avery will be 3 on Saturday.  I would say I cannot believe she is going to be 3, but I actually can.  She is so verbal and tall.  She is 3 going on 13.

Me:
I have been very sentimental this week as Avery was born on the Tuesday of Thanksgiving week and came home on Thanksgiving Day.  We had no idea on Thanksgiving Day 3 years ago that we were going to have such a sassy, outgoing, bossy, sweet, talkative, mini me.  We are so blessed. 
Other than that, I have been going to the gym almost every day (and loving it).  Our new house is awesome and I cannot wait to decorate for Christmas!!!!!

Avery's birthday party!

Such a great day!  LOVED having it in our new house.  So much room!  Avery had so much fun with her cousins and friends that she was sad when they all left.  She very pitifully said, "Everyone's gone". I know the normal thing to say is, "I can't believe Avery is 3!".  But I honestly can believe that she is 3.  She already looks older and Lord knows she is quite the talker.  So mature for her age.  LOVE my Boo! 

Avery loves her play kitchen!

Shane loves playing with the baby stroller :)

And Avery loves her tools from her Uncle Nicky :)

Madagascar 3 was the theme.

My goody bag is in the back corner ;)

November Pics

Poor Bubs...this was not his day. Went face 1st into the door jamb before church, and then after church he tripped and went face first into the ottoman :(

Love him (and those ears)

Dallas Zoo, 1st and probably last time to go there.  The Ft.Worth Zoo is so much better

 

Even the dogs are in the Christmas spirit!

He has a lot to explain.  He can start with how he got on the trampoline and destroyed the safety net.

He's lucky he's so cute!

Shane's favorite spot

Got the front room ready for the Christmas tree

And couldn't resist adding some Christmas decorations already...

When I asked her what she was doing, she said, "Putting on my workout shoes".  :)

I LOVE this perfectly precious Bubs!
