My Kids Look so much alike

My kids all look so much alike as babies. They are all born with lots of black hair and blue eyes. They get this from Kevin because he was also born looking just like them. I was born pretty much bald with brown eyes. Here are pics of my kids to compare how much they all look alike.

These were all taken at 1 Month old

Gabrielle Born March 24, 2007
Avalynn Born June 1, 2008
She had the most hair!!
Nathan Born Dec. 03, 2010
I think he had the least hair
I also think he looks the most like me out of the 4 kids
Kendall
She looks like a mix of Gabby and Avalynn!

I am Thankful

I started this post yesterday. Even though there is an auto save one of the kids bumped me while I was posting and somehow it deleted my whole post and I lost the whole thing. We had to leave to go to Dinner at my parents house so I didn't start over then. 

I am most Thankful for God for bringing my husband into my life. He is a Wonderful Father and a great provider for our family. I am Thankful for all 4 of my Children. 

Gabby is my oldest and at times a little sassy. She is smart and silly. She is usually always kind to others and likes to help me clean.



  Avalynn is full of energy, has the cutest dimples and is a daddy's girl. She and I butt heads a lot but I think it is the stubbornness in both of us. 


Nathan is a Mommy's boy. He loves to cuddle, wants me to hold him a lot. He gives me kisses all day long. He is really sweet. He loves his sisters very much.



Kendall is a Wonderful baby. If there were such a thing as the perfect baby she would be it. She hardly ever cries and if she does she is easy to calm. I am so Thankful to have this family and our health and happiness!

Allergic Reaction

Avalynn was sick on Monday so I took her in to the doctor and she had strep throat. We knew she is allergic to Amoxicillian because she broke out in hives while on it for an Ear infection when she was a baby. So they put her on Zithromax. This morning when I got her out of the bath she pointed to her feet and said "Look Mommy". Her feet have hives on them. She said that it didn't itch but I saw her scratching them quite a few times. She had already missed school on Tuesday so I wanted her to go today. I took her to walk in first thing this morning and while we were waiting in the exam room for the doctor she was coloring and I noticed her hands had hives too. The doctor came in and looked her over and then went out and brought in another doctor just to confirm that it was a reaction to the antibiotic. They both agreed it was. They told me to give her Benedryl and she won't be able to be on that Antibiotic for anything again. 
Here are her hands and feet. Taken with my crappy cell phone so not the best pictures. They were a lot redder then the picture looks.


She was happy to be at the doctor's office. Anywhere she gets to color she is happy.

2 Month Check up

Kendall now weighs 12 pounds 7 ounces (85%) and is 21.25 inches (45%). She is a little chunker with chubby cheeks and thighs to match! She is a very happy and content baby. She is starting to coo and "Talk". When I was singing to her while waiting for the doctor to come in she even laughed her first laugh! It was so cute! Gabby came with me and she heard it too. Most nights she sleeps 6 to 7 1/2 hours at a time. She is starting to out grow her 0-3 months clothes and is mostly wearing 3-6 now. I just moved her up to a size 2 diaper because she was starting to leak out of the size 1. Kendall is doing really well except she had some thrush in her mouth so she has a prescription for that. She had 3 shots today. :( 

This picture was taken a month ago. It is going to be part of a collage that Kevin is working on for me.

Halloween 2012

Our trick or treat here was postponed until Monday Nov. 5th because of the Hurricane. We ended up not really even getting much of a storm so they probably could have had it Oct. 31. Anyway the kids had their parties at school and then Gabby got to walk in her school Halloween Parade. Then a bunch of our family came over to our house with their kids and we all went trick or treating together. My Mom came over and watched my baby Kendall and Shania's Baby sadie while we took the kids around. Kevin and my nephew Zack handed out candy on the porch. Nathan also hung out on the porch with them. We ended up getting 285 trick or treaters!
