Sooo Big!

Allie loves her exersaucer (and her Pokes gear-Go Pokes!) and Drake looks like he's 7 years old-aside from the bib. David jokes that he'll be the only kid in Kindergarten with a bib someday and I'm fine with that :)

5 months old!

Technically she was 3 days shy of 5 months when this was taken but I couldn't resist this picture of her in her precious 4th of July outfit-although she was kind of over the whole picture thing.

She rolled from her back to her belly on June 28th and it has disrupted her sleep a little bit. I remember that happened to Drake (and verified with some mommy friends that it was normal) so I know that it won't last long.  Aside from the sleep disruption I LOVE this age.  She is so full of personality!  She's starting to laugh all of the time and squeal and smile at her brother (who she is OBSESSED with).  So much fun!

4th of July weekend

I hope that everyone had a wonderful 4th of July holiday.  We certainly did!  We went up to Edmond, OK to see family.  We had so much fun with everyone, I'll just let the pictures prove it :)

David has a little shadow who wants to be just like his daddy...

LOVE IT.

Cute Attack!!

Warning-several adorable pictures of Miss Allie (I couldn't pick just one).

4 1/2 months old:

I warned you!

And now one of both of my adorable kids (I guess A didn't want to share the spotlight):

Mavs Parade!

The Mavs are the World Champions (I've never understood that since we just play teams in the USA, but...) so the kiddos and I watched the Mavs parade...on TV.  No way was I dragging my littles to downtown Dallas to see it live, although we did consider it for 15 seconds.

Here are pics.  Notice there are no Mavs to be seen-so you'll have to take my word for it and Allie is wearing a bow since she is in boy PJs and in a boy Bumpo.

I just wish Drake would let us take a normal picture of him :)

Go Mavs!

Allie is 4 months old!

Allie is 4 months old-how did this happen so fast?!!  I still feel like I had her yesterday (it must be the exhaustion).  She isn't exactly the best sleeper ever although she only wakes up once a night to eat and then goes right back to sleep until 7 am or so.  She doesn't nap hardly ever-she is completely obsessed with her brother and if so much as whispers she wakes up.  I look forward to the day where we can do the Ferber technique, but for now she's too little to understand and at least she sleeps well at night.  We were totally spoiled because Drake was and really still is, a great sleeper and has always been on a great schedule. 
She is starting to be very alert and interactive and I love this age (I found that with Drake, I loved every age the best) and she's SO cute :).

Here are her stats from her 4 month check up:
Weight: 12lb 13 oz (45%)
Length: 24 1/2 in (60%)
Head: 16 1/4 (50%)

And a few pictures of course:
