A Wild Fall 3

A little update...

Julia is really coming out of her little shell! She is turning into quite a little wild one. She absolutely LOVES her sister, even if Olivia is trying to do something that is not so nice to her. Julia will just laugh and giggle at her. At her 2 month check-up she was 12 lbs 8 oz and was 23". We go to the doctor on monday for her 4 month check up and I'm very anxious to see what she is at now. She is rolling over from her back to her tummy now and trying her best to sit up. She's in that in-between stage of sitting up where she does not like to sit in her bouncy seat or her bath tub because she wants to sit up all the way. The girls take baths together every once in a while which is so cute because Julia will just kick around in the water and laugh at Olivia the whole time. She's definetly a talker, just like Olivia is. She does not like to sit still. You have to keep moving with her, or at least be standing up ir she'll pitch a fit.....yep, she's training us!

At Olivia's 2 year check up she weighed 28 lbs and was 35". She is still doing very well with Julia. We have had some biting episodes a couple of times, but I think Olivia realized how much she hurt Julia when she started screaming and crying. Other than that, she just loves on her and does things to make Julia laugh. We always say that she's a "little Kevin" because of her personality...always into stuff and on the go, non stop!

I am about to start going back to school full time at the end of August. Our prayers were answered and I found someone to keep the girls. She and her husband are a little older than Kevin and they have a 4 year old and a 2 year old, both little boys. Olivia loved playing with the oldest the other day when we went to their house and I think she will love it! It's going to be tough for the both of us, but I think that she will like having some away time from me and start having other kids to play with. They are a very sweet, christian family and I know that they will be in good hands. Kevin is still in the process of applying for Trooper school. I have no idea when we will hear anything after he gets things turned in, but the school starts in January if he does get in. Just keep us in your prayers! Thanks!!

Keeping you guys in my prayers! We really need to catch up! The girls are growing like weeds... love the updated pics! Can't believe Julia is already having her second well check. I so hear ya on the little one loving their older sibling and thinking they are the greatest thing no matter what they are doing to them. Avery just beams at garrett. Although she is starting to protest when he takes her toys away now.
