The Girls

Here are a few pictures we have taken recently of the girls. They are both getting so big, it's amazing how time fly's by. We took Alexis in for a 3 month doctor visit, I still can't believe that she is already 3 months. She is growing like a weed!! She weighed in at 14 1/2 lbs. 75% and is 25 inches long 90%. She is defiantly a big baby...but she is the cutest! She has the cutest chubby cheeks and her thighs are just one roll after another. It's good to know that she is getting enough to eat!! She loves to watch Kaitlyn play, she moves her head back and forth all over the place just so she can see where Kaitlyn has run off too. It's really cute. She has discovered her voice and will coo as loud as she can, Kaitlyn even got her to laugh for the first time on Sunday, it was really sweet. Kaitlyn is such a good big sister, she always has hugs and kisses for Alexis. I think they will be best of friends when they get older.Kaitlyn has a little stroller for her doll and I have been wanting to put Alexis in it for the longest time. I finally put her in it and she was so cute, Taylor had her smiling left and right. I think she really liked sitting in it.
After church on Sunday Alexis had a "blowout!!" which lead to bath time. Alexis doesn't really like the bath so much but she was cute in her towel afterwords.
Kaitlyn decided that she wanted to play in the water while we were giving Alexis her bath. This is the result in letting her comb her hair.
Close Ups!!
We just put Kaitlyn in her "big girl" bed. She was so excited to take her first big girl nap in it. As you can tell by her hair she had a great nap. The first night she slept in it she fell out 3 different times. We knew she was a crazy sleeper but we didn't think she would fall out of bed. Luckily the bed is only a few inches up off of the floor. We ended up putting a blanket along the edge of the bed so hopefully it will help keep her on the bed.

They are so cute! I love Alexis' chubbiness! And Kaitlyn is getting to be such a big girl! I can't believe that she is in a "big girl bed" how cute!

Wow both of your girls are so cute! I can't believe how much they have grown up. I bet it is so fun to have a sibling to play with. I hope you are doing well!

Alexis is adorable, especially in the stroller.The close ups are awesome. You are a great photographer. Amazing about the big girl bed, that she went right in a slept. I think it must be a girl thing, because Brigham has had a bed in his room forever, and has no desires to sleep in it. Jump on it? yes, but lay under covers and stay in there? Not a chance. Congrats on the milestone!

I love seeing your beautiful family. Alexis is adorable and I loved the stroller picture. Sounds like the girls just love each other and mom and dad are enjoying all the amazing moments. Miss you guys! Take Care.
