18m Check-up!!

Wow, what a busy day for me today.

I had my 18m checkup. I'm weighing in at 27lbs 7oz in the 75th percentile & 34 inches long in the 90th percentile. I got 2 shots, and my nurse did them in my arm.....big ouch!!! My legs are much bigger, so next time I'm going to ask for the legs...as long as I can.

Mom and I meet our friends at the mall for a nice stroll. I love the hip tunes at Ambercrombie & Fitch, so Lily and I stepped in to get our groove on. Good times. We at lunch at the Rain Forest Cafe, what a cool place. They have alligators, Monkeys, Elephants that move, huge fish tanks that are sweet to watch, and a huge waterfall fountain I loved to look at. Of course this is vacation week.....which made for a loooong lunch as the cafe was crazy busy.
Now I'm back home writing to you after I fell out of my crib earlier today in nap attempt 1...my first jail break...didn't go as planned.

My baby Brother is doing very well too. Here's his stats: 29 weeks
Your baby now weighs about 2 1/2 pounds (like a butternut squash) and is a tad over 15 inches long from head to heel. His muscles and lungs are continuing to mature, and his head is growing bigger to make room for his developing brain. This trimester, about 250 milligrams of calcium are deposited in your baby's hardening skeleton each day.

Time to snooze take 2!

Go Patriots!!

Nothing to much to report, just another photo album to view.

My brother is 24wks, almost a foot long, like a corn on the cob. I guess from here on out he fattens up. He kicks a lot, but I don't notice.

Love you,
Adley

My Christmas Holiday

Hello All,

This post has been a long time coming but my holiday was so busy and fun I just needed a little relaxation time before writing it all down. Here are the photo's that go along with my story.
My holiday started the Wednesday before Christmas when Ma Taunte Andrea flew in from Houston. We had lots of fun wrapping gifts and playing. I love having a roommate. Then Friday night off to Vermont to Memere's and Papa Kings. We got in about 10ish, so we had snacks and played for about an hour then off to bed. Everyone slept in nice and late. We had fun opening presents, and then it was off to mom's friend Sara so we could see Jeffery. I had fun seeing him, but did my own thing as Jeffery is just crawling and I like to get around. Then off to Grampies. Once at Grampies, we had a party to go to that night at the Robilards. There new house is very nice, and spacious. I enjoyed playing with the cooler of beverages. I took ice cubes in and out of the cooler for a while and was very entertained. Then I broke down....busy day so we went back to Grampies to hit the hay. Sunday morning we were off to the Hall for Great Memere's Christmas party. Very fun gift swap, I got a humungo box of chocolates but I'm sure mom and dad are eating them all. No fair. Then to Great Grammy's for more family fun. I got to play with my second cousin Mia who is about my size. She's a bit bossy and liked to push me around. She's a few months older but I'm bigger than her. I think it's her older brothers that make her so tough. Sunday night back to Grampies. There was a fun power outage so we had a candle light style evening. Very fun. I love flashlights. Nana read a fun Christmas book with me in her lap by the flashlight, then the three of us were off to bed. Monday morning we opened presents at Grampies. It started snowing pretty hard so we left for home a bit earlier in the day than we would have. I brought my gear for sledding but we had to leave. Once back at home we had a nice low key Christmas eve celebration which included watching the polar express. Christmas morning we opened presents at the house. I got some sweet presents this holiday season. We watched the parade and I had a bit of a nap before we were off to Great Uncle Dave's for some Barbrie family fun. We had the main course there, and it was off to Uncle Dan's for the 'small' Philips family gift opening and desserts. Just desserts at a party is really the way to go, (well maybe this is mom talking.) Then back home. Wednesday was spent recovering, the three of us stayed in our pajamas all day. What a great holiday.
I got my hair cut really short, a nice buzz, to end my Christmas report.
I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!

My little Brother

So I'm going to have a little brother!! I'll be able to show him the ropes, this will be so much fun. I went to the ultrasound today, so I got to see my 19wk old brother. All 10 fingers and toes and the 4 chambers of his heart. Pretty sweet.
Mom says I had a button nose on the ultrasound and my brother has a nice pronounced nose (maybe Barbrie nose. :) ). I can't wait to see it.

My brother's placenta has implanted high on the uterine wall so no concerns about placenta privia like with me. So for now that's the last ultrasound mom & dad will get.

I guess my brother is about 8 1/2 oz and 6 inches long, says the online updates. So small.

Well that's my update!

New Teeth!!

Mommy Braved putting her fingers in my mouth and found my two molars coming through back there. I did bite her fingers a little while she was fishing around. One top right the other bottom left. There is another one under the skin in the upper right. At least now I will be able to really chew all the meat mom feeds me. :)
I'm enjoying my Veggie tails before I go take a bath tonight. Boy do I love bath time. My favorite is to lay on my back and pick up both legs high and splash them down hard while splashing with his arms. I do it so much I can't see anything with splashes to my face. I love to splash, the more the better.

I guess that's my update.

Christmas Tree

This weekend we went to cut down our Christmas Tree and I helped. Check out the sweet photos of this adventure. Sorry my posts are not very lengthly but I figured you'd rather see me than read my prose.
Over and out,

Thanksgiving weekend

What a great weekend, I have so much to be thankful for.

On Thanksgiving we went to Uncle Dan's for a wonderful feast. It was very yummy. Jayden and I ate almost all of the grapes at the party. We're both big fans...I might be a bit more than him.
Friday and Saturday we spend up in Vermont at Memere's and Papa Kings. I had my first sledding ever. At first I didn't know what to think, but after a few runs I couldn't get enough. Check out the sweet photos from my adventure.
Sunday we went to see the three Theis. It was very nice to meet Isabel. She is so small, only 4 wks old. She did have some sweet toys to play with, I'll be back to squeeze the glow worm a few more times.
