This is the first and only time the girls will both be 3, Avery 3 years and Colbie 3 months. How fun! It is also the only time they'll be in the same number since by the time Avery's 4 Colbie's 4th month will be long gone, actually she'll be a year old! Whoa, slow down!! Seriously though I'm so proud of my big girls.

We'll start with the oldest girl, Avery had her doctor's appointment and was a little shaken up because there was an intern with the nurse and it was a male so she was a little upset especially since she was already apprehensive about going to the doctor anyway. She was in the 95th percentile for both weight at 38.5 lbs and height at 40 inches. My big girl!! The pediatrician was amazed at her verbal skills, as usual. Which I'd love to take credit for but she's just smart on her own :) PS Everyone has told me about three being worse than the 2's and they were right....be scared, be very scared!!



She's been taking dance classes and gymnastics and is totally loving it, and it gives her an opportunity to listen to someone other than mom and have more structure in groups, I love our play dates and meetup.com events but Little Gym just gives her a nice format for getting ready for school in a couple of years.

We weighed Colbie a couple of different times on a friend's scale throughout the month and she was about 14.5 ish pounds, my growing girl! She's becoming quite the socialite, talking so much, and is still sleeping pretty good, we're between 2 and 3 hours feeding times except at night when on most nights she sleeps from 7:30pm to 3:00am and then wakes up at 7:00am (because Avery's so loud that she doesn't have a choice.) Still taking usually 3 solid naps and some days a couple extra sprinkled in, depending on if she's growing.



I've been noticing that the drool spout has been turned on so I think teething is coming very very soon. Not one of my favorite parts of babyhood. She's been practicing tummy time and getting great with her neck control too, just look:


Here are a few more pictures of our 3 year old and our 3 month old, enjoy!!

We'd really been missing going to church, but we were more concerned with Colbie not getting sick, especially with the large number of people who go to our church, and knowing that everyone would want to see her. We wanted to wait until her immune system was a little stronger so we finally went when Colbie was 5 weeks old.

Since then Avery has been excited to be back at church with her favorite Sunday School teachers Miss Shelia and Miss Ally, although teachers change each week.

Our church has a great connecting-point/cry room for all the moms of small babies or crying children to go hang out it. It's a great room with lots of couches, dimly lit, and a place where we can still watch and hear the service, unfortunately there is no children's church pager if Avery needs us, but we try to let the teachers know we'll be in that room each week.

Both Joel and I have become members at our church and are getting the girls dedicated in September.

Avery loves to wear dresses so church day is especially fun for her. Here's a pictures of our church girls.

Avery's been talking for a while now, but she's expanding her vocabulary every day and sounds so grown up sometimes. She loves words and letters and reading books. Well I'm not sure if it's because mommy is a talker, or sissy is a talker, but little Baby Colbie has joined the club. She's quite the talker, mostly in the mornings and for some reason her favorite happy spot is the pack and play.

Here are a few videos of our beautiful girls, including an "interview" that I hope to do each year the girls are able to talk to see how their interests change and how they grow each year.

Can't wait to see these two talking more to each other! Poor daddy!
