Alexis is 13 MONTHS!!

At 13 months baby girl is getting so big... hair growth is the only thing that isn't "movin'" on this girl! She is everywhere... and lovin' life!

Alexis is such a great eater. She loves food... little thing can eat 3 pieces of pizza in one sitting! She also loves her milky!

Alexis has grown attached to anything imparticular but she loves satin blankets like Mommy did! She grabs them the same way... it is funny to watch.

Most people (that knew me as an infant) say Alexis is an exact replica of me as a baby! It really is strange to look at someone who looks so much like you did! She is our little doll... and as a matter of fact a few times we have been asked if we would like to persue modeling for her. Now that she is a tan blonde bombshell... I can see why! Her little white creases amongst the tan is so darn precious!

No walking... still just crawling and cruising. And she has recently discovered finger walking... oh what fun for the poor adult that has to be hunched over for the hours that she could do this per day! :)

It's sad to think... we will soon be parting with many of the "baby gear items" that have been part of our home for the last 4.5 years. I'll miss them along with all the the memories we've made and the milestones we have been reaching in our children and as a family.

Bar-RAT

This is what Grace says when she wants a BARRETTE in her hair... silly girl!

FREE!

I think it's safe to say my Little Lou is BUH (pacifier) free!! (As of 6.8.10) She did have a couple of hard nights, but now she tells me she doesn't need it YEAH Gracie Lou!

NEW Seat!

We made the switch... Babe is in the big girl car seat now... she still technically fits, but it is getting hard to remember to leave the car seat for whomever is watching her since I usually leave it in the car, and the Grandma's rely on it!

NO!

Ok... our beloved BABE has now added a head shake to her "NO!". It is pretty adorable if I do say so myself. Today while we were at Gigi's, Gigi asked to take her and Babe said NO! shaking her head. What a stinker!

More Fun Stuff...

Rylie kissed Jacob today... what is going on around here????

Double AGAIN

Alexis had to be taken in today for a high fever... when we got there they decided to take it rectally since it was reading 104 on the regular thermometer. It was 105.3 rectally... scarily high. They said she also had a double ear infection AGAIN! They didn't let her leave until after she had tylenol, cold compress, and juice. After about 1.5 hours it went down to 100.6 so we were allowed to leave. That night was rough... she continued to be pretty sick, lithargic, and sleepy. The next morning her fever broke at about 5am. Poor baby girl!

Grace KISSED!

Grace was kissed today for the first time by Carter, our neighbor. It started out as kisses on the butt and then went to her lips. The good news is Jacob was close by and was kissing her too!!

Saying GrAcE!

Babe now says Grace!!

Jacob's first game!

Jacob had his very first t-ball game today... Doe, Pa, Betts, Mimi, Cam, Bubba, Carl & the other Kohl 4 were in attendance. He got to bat 3 times... 3 innings. His little run to first base the first time was so precious... he was so cautious... so sweet. He caught one ball and ran to get alot of other ones. (I think he loves running to catch the ball... no matter where it is!). He was so cute in his little number 11 Bisons uniform... so cute!

They played the HAMMERHEADS... on the way there when Jacob found out who he was playing he said "Are they going to hammer our heads?". What a funny boy!
