decorating the tree

The first one is the one we used for our Christmas card.

Candy Canes

The girls have discovered candy canes. Av got one from St. Nick at school and ever since then she has been asking for more. She didn't know you put them on the Christmas tree. I bought some today and made them wait until after nap to have one. It was the first thing Camille said when I woke her up. So they each had one (that only lasted minutes, crunch, crunch, crunch) before any even made it to the tree.

2 month check up

His 2 month check up went great! Could not have gone better. He's doing great. We talked a little about his crooked neck and the MD thought it was looking better. He saw no reason for us to see at PT at this point. He said they would have us do the same stuff we are already doing. He said the crooked part is not the problem it is the flat head it causes and he saw no signs of flat head anywhere on his head. He sat him up and Everett sat pretty straight when upright. He rolled him over to see his belly time and said he could tell he was a baby that got enough belly time. MD thought he looked very strong. He is 12.2 lbs which put him in the 50-70% and he was 24 and 3/4 inches long and that puts him between 75-90%. He is a big boy!!

Camille

Camille is so funny. Not sure where she gets this stuff. She obsessed with dental floss. Av went through this too. She runs into our bathroom, grabs it out of the drawer and either pulls off a huge piece or comes running to you to ask for a piece. "Piece of dental floss, piece of dental floss!!!!!" John does a great impression of her saying it. Anyway now everything is a "piece." Her latest yesterday was, "can I have a piece of water?"

On Tuesday Camille woke up puny. I kept her home but around 10:30 she was running around this place like normal. When I asked her if she wanted to go to school she looked at me and said, "I'm sick."

We ran into Walgreens the other day. She saw the Christmas blow ups and said, "mommy look Halloween!!" I guess she thinks all blow ups are for Halloween.

Avery

I just can't get over how amazing these pictures are of Avery. I know I'm biased but she is truly beautiful.

These are the pics we had taken right before Everett was supposed to be born.
