Happy 3rd Birthday Avalynn Skye

Avalynn is my spunky little girl. She has the biggest dimples and cutest little smile. She knows how to get into mischief too! She has lots of nicknames and Trouble Lynn is one of them! She is so cute and we love her so much! She is very happy to be turning 3 years old. Now she is big like the other kids, lol. She was born on June 1st 2008 at 5:32 P.M.



My pregnancy, Labor and Delivery was the easiest by far out of my three kids. Gabby was only 5 months old when I got pregnant for Avalynn. It has been really nice having them so close in age. Gabby was still very much a baby herself when Avalynn was born. They get along good most of the time. Sometimes Avalynn will beat Gabby up though. She is tough and knows what she wants when she wants it. She is always Go Go Go all day long. She was even like that in my tummy when I was pregnant. Always moving!


It is so hard to believe she is 3 already!
Here are some pictures of my sweet little girl.

Memorial Day & Avalynn's Birthday Celebration

We started the day by going to visit my Brother's grave and to plant some flowers there. We go every Memorial day and it has kind of become a tradition.

Then we went and watched the Memorial Day Parade in Elmira, NY. My girls and Niece were even photographed by the Star Gazette. You can see that picture by clicking HERE.

After going to the Parade we had a Barbeque and celebrated Avalynn's 3rd Birthday a few days early. I made her a cake with some toy horses on it. She Loves Horses!



Then it was time to swim and enjoy the afternoon. It was close to 90 degrees today! Perfect for swimming!

Baby Teeth

Nathan's first tooth has popped through today! He was really clingy today and wanted to nurse a lot more then he usually does. This evening I was holding him and he was biting down on my finger when I thought I felt something hard in his mouth. So I got a flashlight and looked in and sure enough his tooth was coming through. I can see the one right next to it sitting right under his gums so that one will be through soon too!

My Niece Natalee lost her first tooth today. She is 5 years 5 Months old. Kind of neat because the tooth she lost is the same tooth Nathan is getting in.
