Our girls!

We are just so in love with our two girls. Avery is 22 months and Amelia will be 10 weeks on Wednesday. Time is flying by far too fast. The company that took Amelia's picture in the hospital offered to come to our home to take Amelia's 4-week picture and get a free 8x10...well, of course, you get suckered in by the cute pictures. We just got a few because they were rip-off expensive for the quality, however, we love the subjects. :) Here are a few of the pics.

Avery is keeping us entertained and has such a huge vocabulary. She practically can repeat anything you say and says three - four word sentences. I have been shocked to see how much she is talking before two. We are so proud of her. Today, she wore a dress that her Great, Great Aunt Carol gave her and was dancing on the coffee table singing "uh uh oh....Single Ladies." She loves that song from the Chipmunks. Nothing can melt our heart more than Avery singing "Jesus Loves Me." She sings all the way to "for the bible" and then it trickles off. I will have to video and post it. So precious! She loves her sister and wants to put her pacifier in her mouth all the time even when Amelia doesn't want it.

Amelia is doing great. She is almost 12 lbs and has the most precious expressions. She is cooing and smiling a lot now. At her eight week check-up last week, the doctor was concerned about a birthmark on her lower spine area. She said that often a birthmark in that location could indicate a spinal defect. So we waited almost a week to get an ultrasound to see what was going on...talk about scary! Praise God, it was all normal. I was reminded how faithful God is, and we are so grateful for every moment together. Let me tell you, it is really hard to get a spinal ultrasound on a little baby. She was wiggling everywhere so what I thought would be a quick ultrasound ended up being an hour and half. I had to feed her and put her to sleep on her tummy to get the ultrasound completed. TCH in Sugar Land was awesome and so patient!

I mean...could you just die!  I am so blessed to have these sweet baby girls!

So, I have to say that we took several pictures with clothes on and when you view the pictures a week later while on a conference call (very weird!), they only showed us one picture that was very mediocre with her clothes on...so we got all the naked ones...LOL!
