Addyson: Addy is doing awesome in first grade. She absolutely loves her teacher, and so do we! She is making a few new friends, but still gets to see all of her old buddies at dance each week. She is hanging in there with piano once a week, but it seems to have lost its luster a bit. She just celebrated her seventh birthday in style with a "slumber party" at our house with six friends. They all wore pajamas, ate breakfast food, painted nails, and did a lot of laughing and running around. Addyson loves crafts, of any kind, and has started reading the Magic Tree House chapter books. She loves to play with her little sister and little brother. She continues to be a sweet, kind hearted, loving, innocent, and happy little girl. Addy is definitely the first born. She wants everything to run smoothly, takes care of things when mommy can't, and is in charge. I haven't met anyone who doesn't love Addy and think she is the sweetest little girl!
Katelyn: Well, our hot, hot mess is doing well. Kate goes to school twice a week and really seems to enjoy it. She updates me on who didn't share, who had 'bugies' in their nose, who played with her, who got in trouble, and all other happenings in preK. She keeps us all on our toes for sure. She loves to be in her cozy pajamas, under the covers, playing Barbie or watching a movie. She would choose hanging out at the house over going out and about any day! She has a great imagination. Listening to her pretend play is hilarious. Katelyn is bright, sassy, stands up for herself and others, can be a little dramatic at times, fun loving, and sweet!! Kate is definitely the middle child and can manipulate getting her way most of the time! Gotta love Katie Reese!
Nolan: I cannot believe he is eight months old already! Nolan is such a good baby. He is so easy and happy. He is huge and doesn't care to want to be very mobile. He is 22 pounds. He is wearing size 3 diapers, but only until we finish this box and then we are moving up a size. He is wearing 18 month clothing in some things and 24 month in others! His hair is still very red, but getting a darker auburn color. He is rocking in all fours and can crawl backwards, but he is not mobile yet. He is not pulling up or showing any signs of wanting to be mobile. He is kind of lazy I guess because his sisters bring him all his toys! He is drinking one or two bottles a day out of a sippy cup, usually on the go somewhere. He eats fruit in the morning and a vegetable at night. We are soon going to start a veggie at lunch too. He is still napping in between almost every feeding unless we are out and about. He loves to sleep. I keep waiting for him to phase one or two naps out, but it has not happened yet. He 'talks' all day long. Actually he does a lot of screaming! He is laid back, alert, happy, loving, adores his sisters, and definitely the baby of the family! Everybody loves Bubs!
