We were able to go home and spend Thanksgiving with our family and spend some more time with them. I didn't take many pictures which I regret but I did get some of the kids with my dad and a couple from a play group that I had with my friends. But it was just nice to see everyone and I'm sad that we wont be home for Christmas.

Zachary having fun with grandpa

Had lunch with grandpa. The kids sure love grandpa. Allie also went and spent a day with grandpa and aunt Breanna and then spent the night with them.

Visted with friends and had a play date

Breaking Dawn!!

Breanna and I planned to go to the "Breaking Dawn Part 1" way before it even started showing, I believe it was back when she was still living in Australia. Well the day the tickets went on sale I bought us the tickets and to be honest with you, I didn't even know that was the day they went on sale I just saw someone on facebook bought theirs so I said to myself why not go buy ours, (and wow I totally lucked out!). The movie was so awesome!! And I'm so so excited for part 2. Oh and Breanna bought her and I the awesome shirts we are wearing. And I still love her even though she's Team Jacob ;p

Here are some fun pictures of the kids. Mainly Allie. I just wanted to have them in the blog for when I print it as a book. So enjoy...

Allie has been dressing her self lately and this is one of her outfits she'd come up with one day: a hat, pj top (inside out and backwards) and tights. I am so proud of all that she's doing yet sad she's growing up so fast.

Allie kept getting into Nana's make up bag and well this was the result of it

Hello Four Eyes

I've never need glasses in my life because my eyes have always been so good. Well over the past couple years they have gotten pretty bad. So I went to the eye doctor and found out that I have become near sighted and have a slight astigmatism. So now I am an owner of a new pair of glasses. They work great and I love them especially at night.

By Gosh, I Think She's Got It!!!

Guess who's FINALLY potty trained!!

Allie's Curls + Dr Visit

Have I mentioned how much I LOVE my baby girls curls?!?! Well if I haven't, I love them so much!!!

Allie also saw the doctor today. This was her 3 year check up. I totally forgot to set her one up and so once I remembered, this was the soonest they could get us in LOL. Well as for her stats she is:

Weight: 28lbs
Height: 36in

Doctor said she's doing great and that was happy news for me! I forgot to mention last week I took her in for a possible UTI and she ended up having one so now I have to take her in to an ultrasound to make sure the infection is gone. Now I'm just waiting for that appointment to come (we have a while). But other than that she's doing great!!!

Catching Up: Halloween

I'm doing a little catching up so please excuse all the posts I'm about to do ;p

We went to our good friends Amber and Chris Hogans place for Halloween. Allie and daddy went out around their neighborhood (soon to be ours) for some trick or treating while me and my mom stayed behind and passed out candy. It was a fun evening and made me more excited to move onto base!

Zachary's 1 Year Appt

Zachary had his one year appointment on Monday (2 weeks after he turned one). I was expecting to go in there and get his weight and stuff and then shots and be on our way. NOPE!!! I was at the doctors from 8:35am to 12:30pm. It was one long and emotional morning.
Zachary's stats are:

weight: 17lbs 7oz (0% - is off the charts still), 
height: 28.2in (5%) and 
head: 17.8in (48.2cm).

So he's still on the small side but that's okay, he's my lil baby boy ;p
As well as his weight being behind, he's behind developmental wise. He's acting more like a 6-8 month old than a one year old. So his pediatrician wants some behavior health people to come to our house and evaluate him and work with him. Ugh!!! They are coming on Monday so I'll have to update you on what they do and think.
Also the doctor thinks Zach might have a neurological problem because his right eye and right side of his mouth droops and he said that's not normal. So I have to take him to a Neurologist to see what they think. And now this is where I BLAME myself because I have seizures and have the neurological problems and I feel if he has them then I passed them on to him. I just feel horrible about this and don't know what to do?
Zach also had to get blood taken on Monday as well as his shots. I did okay with him getting his shots but I couldn't handle him getting his blood drawn - I totally broke down. And I have to take him to Fort Carson to get more blood taken and then next week more shots. I just hate seeing him in pain and there isn't anything I can do but comfort him after being poked.

Well as for some of his milestones Zachary can do/has done:
* Zachary loves to click his tongue especially if we do it then he will mimic us
* He'll bob his head like a bobble head. Its pretty cute
* He will clap but only when he feels like it
* Zach's taken 4 steps now but refuses to take more. He's close to walking but not any time soon
* He is very very vocal by squealing at the top of his lungs - annoys everyone that hears it and gives me headaches
* Loves playing with his big sister. Loves to play: chase, hide and seek, and just with toys
* Zach has been on whole milk since 10/3 and has been doing great with it. So glad we are done with formula!!!
* Says only 3 words: Mama, Dada, Nana. Says mama when he is upset and says dada most of the time
* He is DEATHLY afraid the the vacuum
* Zachary has 8 teeth. 4 on top and 4 on the bottom
* Only takes 1 nap a day
* Zachary still wears size 3 diapers, size 6 to 9 month clothes

WE LOVE YOU ZACHARY!!!
