Halloween at the campground

We had Halloween at the campground the end of September. People decorate their campers and the kids had games. They have costume judging too. Alexis won the best costume for the 0-6 year old range. Gary won the best pumpkin. Grace had a blast playing with all the kids and going trick or treating. There were a lot of kids there. It was a fun event.

Update

Grace and Alexis are growing up so fast. Alexis went for her 6 month checkup and weighs 18lbs and is 31 inches!!! She is going to be a tall kid. Alexis is able to sit up on her own and is moving all around on the floor. She plans out where she wants to go and rolls one way turns her body and the rolls the rest of the way. No teeth yet but she chews on everything is drools a lot. It shouldn't be long. Grace loves playing with her and even shares her toys (most of the time). Grace likes to feed Alexis and try washing her in the tub also. Grace is a good big sister! Grace loves singing and playing hide and go seek. She doesn't like to hide though, she always wants to find us!

End of the summer party

Every year Dave's parents do an end of summer party. This year was fun but a little chilly. The girls had a good time playing. Alexis got past around from person to person. Every year they make a special drink. This year it was pudding shots. Yum! Enjoy the pictures.

Sisters

Grace and Alexis like playing together. Grace is helpful with her sister. They make each other laugh. Grace likes to hold Alexis and even tries to pick her up. Alexis is easy going and just goes along with everything. Alexis moves all around on the floor now. She gets her knees under her and her butt in the air but she doesn't know what to do with her arms. She keeps them out to the side. Won't be long before she is crawling! Oh-no 2 mobile kids.

Time to eat!

Alexis has been eating baby cereal for about a month now and is really enjoying it. Last night she got her first taste of baby food. It was squash. She didn't know what to think of it. She didn't eat to much of it. Tonight on the other hand she couldn't get enough! She eat most of it. Another one of our children with a healthy appetite! Alexis eyes up our food all the time. It won't be long before she is eating real food.

Update

Sorry it has been awhile since there has been an update. Things are busy here. Grace and Alexis are growing fast. Grace repeats what we say a lot and can say most things. She can count to 11 and sometimes higher. She also likes helping out with chores around the house. Alexis is 4 1/2 months now and is very long. She can roll both directions. She tries to sit up on her own when laying. She has also started cereal and is enjoying that. Alexis is a good sleeper, thank goodness. Alexis wakes up nicely too. She bangs her legs on the bottom of her pack and play and whines softly. Grace went from asleep to screaming so this is much nicer. Alexis is also fun to give a bath to. She doesn't stop moving. She moves her arms and legs like crazy and tries to roll over, I end up soaked. We also think she is teething. She chews on everything and drools like crazy. Both girls enjoy the campground. They like the lake and the boat rides. Grace likes it when we catch fish too.

Grace's two year pictures

Kacy and I took the girls to the park for Grace's 2 year old pictures. She also took some of Alexis. Grace was so cute and was posing well for a little bit and then she just wanted to play.
