Growing Like Weeds





Hello! How ya'll doing? We are great! And growing like weeds!! For the first and only time last month, we were able to have our wellness checks together. Berlin for her 15 month and Avery for his 3 year checkup. We are BIG! Avery is still 90th percentile for height, 35th for weight, and Berlin is 95th for height, 25th for weight. Our pediatrician thinks we're awesome (which we are!). We did not like the shots, though, and Avery put up a good fight. It took Mommy and a nurse to hold him down while another nurse administered the vaccines. He's STRONG! And Mommy says it's all in the name of our health, so we handled it well. The lollipops helped. Avery may have an issue with his ear tubes, so we are going to see an Ear, Nose, and Throat doctor in April. One of his tubes may not have fallen out all the way, so we need to make sure everything is okay with it. I have had strep throat three times in 3 months, so Mommy wants to ask the doctor about that, too. It seems a bit much.

Avery is having an awesome time being 3! He has made a ton of friends at school, and we seem to always be going to birthday parties. SO MUCH FUN! He's also mastering his new bike, and working on "artwork" all the time.

Berlin is talking up a storm. She's now saying Mommy, nigh nigh, hop pop (for her favorite book Hop on Pop), mine (her favorite word), plus a bunch of other new words. She's teething, too. Getting at least 2, maybe 3 on top. This has made her crabbier than normal, which means she now has a normal babies temperment (because she's the happiest baby ever!). She also likes to climb on everything, as you can see above. She's just starting to be able to climb on the couch and ottoman, and she is walking up and down stairs (with a little help from Daddy and Mommy). It's amazing how much she is changing!

We should have more adventures to share soon! Spring has hit Nashville and there's lots of outdoorsy stuff to do! We'll keep you updated.

Lots of love,
Avery and Berlin

My First Bike



Look at me! I got a bike for my birthday, and I love it! This is my first time riding it. I'm doing pretty good, huh? The horn is my favorite!

Hope you enjoy,

All of us! (except me, where am I?)

Hey everyone! I wanted to show you all photos from my big day. My parents had a little mini party for me on the night of my actual birthday, and then we had a party the next day at the Y. All my friends came, and we had a great time! There was a bounce house, a parachute to play games and songs with, pizza, cake, and lots of birthday fun! I was a very good boy! Berlin had a little tantrum, but that's okay. She's new to this toddler thing. I'm sorry you weren't all able to make it, but I wanted to share photos with you. Hope to see ya soon!

Hugs and kisses,
Aves
