Avalynn turns 6

Our spunky little girl turned 6 last week. Our lives would be pretty dull and quiet without her in our house. She keeps us on our toes, that is for sure. She has the cutest dimples and is so smart!  Avalynn loves to dress up in dresses and she loves wearing boots!

Her favorite toys are Barbies, ever after High dolls and her "American girl doll" which is a knock off brand but she doesn't care. She also likes Legos and playing dress up. I think her favorite part of being an older sister is dressing Nathan and Kendall up in dress up clothes.

She is very high energy and is always Go Go Go! She joined tumbling in February and is starting to do really well. She loves going and asks every day if it is Tumbling day.

Avalynn's speech has come so far this year. At her IEP meeting her speech teacher told me she started a different program with her then the teacher she had last year and I think this is why she has taken right off with it. She is starting to talk a little more to people she doesn't know well and I think she is more confident they will understand her now.  She is doing well in school and can read pretty good. She is also our little artist. She loves to draw and color and she is really good at it.

For Avalynn's birthday she picked to go to a Farmland. She has always loved horses and we had not gone at all last year. I think the kids all really enjoyed it! Here are some pictures.

Kendall is 21 months today!

I can't believe how fast the time is going! In 3 months my baby will be 2 years old! She is starting to say a lot of words and she has a silly sense of humor! She loves all of her siblings but seems to have a special bond with Nathan. She likes to baby him and boss him around. They are always hugging each other! She also loves to give her sisters big hugs when we pick them up from school.

Kendall weaned from nursing about 2 weeks ago and it was a pretty easy transition for both of us. She still has her pacifier which is supposed to be for bed only but she seems to find it or her siblings give it to her a lot.

Her favorite toys right now seem be baby dolls. She hugs them and wants me to dress them. She also likes to destroy Nathan's train track lol.

Kendall's favorite foods are yo baby yogurt, strawberries, peanut butter on toast or just off a spoon and whole grain spaghetti o with meatballs and she loves Pizza!

I weighed and measured her this morning and she is now 19 pounds 2 oz and 30 1/2 inches. Here is a picture of her from Today.
