They are growing up

Where does the time go?

My baby is already over 7 months old... HOLY MOLY!!

She is showing us more personality everyday and I LOVE IT!!!

She is so sweet and I cannot get enough!

Our Jane is happy, sweet, quiet, spunky, determined, cute as can be, tenderhearted, and

oh so LOVABLE!!

And our Avery is still her spunky, happy, busy self now at 2 years 3 1/2 months.

Avery LOVES LOVES LOVES to change her clothes and everyday consists of MANY very creative outfits.

She loves her babies and is such a good 'mommy'

Avery loves to sing and knows SO many songs.

She loves Barney and...

She is good at taking advantage of every opportunity to go exploring when I am feeding or taking care of Jane.

She is a GEM and she makes me laugh everyday.

Avery is smart, happy, silly, determined, independent, sweet, funny, LOVES to sing, adorable,

has a good memory, creative, cleaver, and kind!

Another thing Avery loves...

HER SISTER!!

They are best sisters and I am SO happy they have each other!!

Definitely the best gift I could have ever given either one of them!

They melt my heart and make me want to be a better person and a much better mom!

I LOVE YOU MY GIRLIES!

A good week

We started the week off with a trip up to the South Fork area (above Pineview Dam) to have dinner and visit with my parents who were camping.

It was super fun and in true camping fashion it took Avery all of about 5 minutes to get good and dirty. SHE LOVED IT!!

One of these times we will have to stay!

Little did we know what the next day would bring...

At my regular scheduled 38 week visit to my OB on Monday morning the doctor looked at me with a big smile and said "You're a 5... you're a 6! You need to go to the hospital."

Me: "Seriously???"

doctor: "Yep!! You are having a baby today"

About 5 hours after that conversation I was holding this little bundle of joy!

Check out that DARK hair.

(Avery's was a strawberry blond at birth)

We are a happy little family of 4 now... CRAZY!!

Avery loves her sister! (most of the time;))

She loves to continually check on Jane by standing at the edge of her bed and at the top of her voice saying "SISTER, SISTER!!! HI!! HI!! HI!! HI!!"

She is SUCH a good baby and SUCH a good sleeper!

She sleeps all the time, I am amazed by it! I could NOT say the same for her older sister as a newborn!

Jeff loves his girls and is such a cute dad!

Avery and dad have been able to spend some extra one-on-one time this week and I think they are both eating it up.

Jane Ashleigh Leger

8-2-10

7lb 3oz

20inches long

She is SO SO sweet and we feel unbelievably blessed to have her in our family!

Our 1 Year Old!!!

It is still hard to believe 1 year has come and gone!

Avery has been such a joy and we LOVE her spunky little personality!

We are grateful we get to be her parents!

She is getting so big and is learning new things everyday!

like:

couponing

which teams to root for

church is good... and exhausting (I promise that is NOT what she wore to church;))

how to help mom in the kitchen

leftovers are our FAVORITE!

how to dress herself

what to do with toilet paper

if you are hungry, you have to help yourself (also refer to 3 pictures up)

you point this thing at that big box... that is what daddy always does!

games are fun

shopping is relaxing;)

What a big smart girl, she is onto this old world and ready to conquer it!

1 year stats

Weight: 20lb 5oz 33%tile

Height: 30 1/2inches 85%tile

Head: 18inches 66%tile

Don't you want to eat her up??

We do!

9 months (and 2 weeks:))

I love her more everyday if that is possible and I lovehate that she is getting so big and old!!

At her 9 month visit her stats were as follows:

weight: 16lb 11oz -> 12%tile

length: 29in -> 90%tile

head: 17 1/4in -> 45%tile

She is at such a fun age and it is so fun watching her start to discover the world around her!

She is still a spunky little monkey and is trying so hard to crawl. She scoots backward (while lying on her belly) and turns around in circles. She can get on to all fours now and wiggles her legs around but can't quite move herself forward. It doesn't take much of that and she gets really frustrated!

She LOVES her binky and I LOVE that she loves her binky and think it is so cute to watch her suck on it!

All that length helps her reach really far and grab a hold and tip over anything that looks interesting... like a freshly made pitcher of orange juice.

She has turned into such a good sleeper... I think she is making up for the first 6 months that she never slept! (4 naps a day... AHHHH!)

Still a mommas girl... OH MY GOSH, I CANNOT GET ENOUGH OF HER!!!

She is the happiest smiliest baby I have ever known!

Smiling, LAUGHING, talking, squealing, cooing, and (I am convinced) humming.

I kiss her 1 million times a day! She lets me!

The little love of my life!

-video to come soon to show off her new 'tricks'... smarty pants!-

I know it is all a little over the top, what can I say, I am a proud mom!
