Anabelle's 2 year check-up

Yesterday, Anabelle had her doctor's visit and all was great! The night before I told her that if she was good we would go buy her some finger paint. Well, that's all she talked about before, during and after! So, yes she did great and yes we bought paint!
She now weighs 25 lbs (30th percentile) and is 35 inches (75th percentile). Tall and skinny, who would have guessed!

Happy Birthday Anabelle!

(Here she is showing you her "Birthday Girl" shirt!)

Wow, Anabelle is 2 years old today! Her party was last weekend but we still had to do some celebrating today! What a fun day! We went to a toy store where she got to paint and make some crafts and play with the dolls (her favorite), then we went to lunch and she got to eat Mac and Cheese! Then after nap time we went to a picnic/block party and got to see some animals and a clown. Then (mom's favorite part of the day) we went to eat CUPCAKES! Yum.

Celebration Weekend

What a fun weekend full of great things to celebrate!
Family came from all over the place (Mexico City, Kentucky, California, Maryland and Pennsylvania!) to help us celebrate Anabelle's 2nd Birthday and Macy's Baptism.

First, on Saturday we had Anabelle's Birthday Party complete with Elmo! Anabelle was super happy that Elmo was at her party but she didn't want to get to close!

Her actual birthday is this Saturday, the 28th. So, I guess we'll be celebrating all week long (that's GG-style birthday celebrating)!

Then, on Sunday it was Macy's Baptism. It was so special that her Godmother, Aunt Shannon was able to come all the way from California to be here for the occasion! Then we had a delicious meal at GG and Grandpa Bob's. The perfect ending to a perfect weekend.

I'll post more pictures of the festivities soon.

Macy got her ears pierced!

The price of beauty is really high (and painful)! It's painful even to look at this picture, isn't it. Macy was a trooper but it was tough, much tougher than when Anabelle got her ears pierced. But now they look really cute and Macy is all smiles again, or sweet-dreaming!

Louisville Visit

We made a quick trip down to Louisville this past weekend. Breese went to a bachelor party (which, from what he remembers, was fun) and we were able to celebrate Aunt Kelly's birthday! We also fit in a trip to the water park:

Good times!

Anabelle the artist

Anabelle loves to fingerpaint! Look how fast her hands are moving - it's all blurry in the picture! She makes quite the masterpieces. And quite the mess, but it's a fun mess!

Macy's 2 month check-up

Can you believe Macy is 2 months old?! Yesterday she had her check-up and shots. Here's the stats:

Weight: 10 lb 11.5 oz (50th percentile)

Length: 23 in (75th percentile)

Doc said she looks great and is very healthy! Way to go Macy.

She amazes us every day - she's really good at following a toy that we dangle in front of her. And she LOVES when we read books to her! Most people are saying she looks like Breese. See what you think:
