Allie: She had her 2 month check up. Weight= 13lbs 3 oz Height= 23.5inch Head=43cm
She is such a happy little girl and her favorite thing is just to look at people. Anytime you make eye contact with her she lights up with a big squinty eyed smile. She is really good at holding her head up during tummy time, but no rolling yet.
Dani: We have been working on her 2 year old propensity to be self centered... We went to a wedding earlier this month and there were flowers lining the dance floor. Towards the end of the wedding she wanted the flowers and was getting pissed whenever another kid tried to get one. To try and get her to focus on others I told her she needed to find a girl in a pretty dress and give them a flower. She turned it into a game and was running around giving all the women at the wedding a flower. She can be the absolute sweetest and most giving little girl, sometimes she just gets stuck in her small 2 year old world.
Her best friend, cousin Canon, came to spend the week in the valley with Grammy and Guapo. I don't think she has stopped talking since her has gotten here. Saturday they spent 8 hours playing together and then Sunday she cried all morning because she wasn't going to see him that day:) Right now Grammy, Canon, and Dani are out riding the tram at OHSU and then riding the trolly around portland. She came running into my room this morning to wake me up so she could go see Canon.
Angie: I have become that "park mom," the one that shows up with way too much stuff. But I have everything I need to camp out there for several hours. I love sitting at the park while Dani runs around getting her energy out and the best part is that my house stays clean:)
I just found out that the little boy I watch is moving to Vancouver so I will be done watching him in the middle of July. It's been a year of me watching him and we will miss seeing him every day:(
Andrew and I haven't figured out yet what we are going to do moving forward. Either I can find another child to watch, or see if there is something else that I can do from home. We are praying about it and will see what God has in store for us.
Andrew: Is currently looking for another house to flip with Darren and Alan, while still working at Polygon. Not much going on but lots of family time:) He did buy a small fishing boat yesterday that he is super excited about.
For Father's Day I took him to a fun restaurant we had never been too. Brazil Grill. SO much fun! basically you pay one rate for all you can eat and then they have a waiter that walks around with a bunch of different BBQ meats. You can have as much or as little as you want, and you get to try everything. The food was awesome:)

May 2015 Update
The other day someone asked me what Dani's first word was and I could not for the life of me remember what it was. Clearly I have an awful memory and it scared me into updating my blog. So I am committing to posting once a month.
Danielle: Dani is becoming such a fun kid with a huge personality. I love to just sit and ask her questions and see what she has to say. I love to hear what stood out in her memory and what was special to her.
Right now she is all about riding her bike and going "swimmin."
She powers along on her balance bike and is really getting the hang of coasting with her feet up. She loves to go down hills and she can last for some pretty long rides.
With the weather getting nice she is always asking to go to the park and run through the "sprinkles." I am looking forward to spending many days at the park this summer soaking up the sun while she runs around.
I signed her up for preschool last week and told her that since she was getting older she was going to start going to school, and she got so excited! She will have a hard time waiting for the fall.
I asked her the other night what she learned at church and she started clapping her hands and singing "Praise Him Praise Him." I was totally impressed that she knew the whole song.
Another super sweet thing that she was on Sunday at church, she walked up to Rhonda and touched her dress and said "This is a pretty dress." I love that she tells people how pretty they are:)
Dani has also LOVED being a big sister. She is always wanting to help take care of Allie in any way that she can.
Allie: I can't believe she is almost 6 weeks!
She stared sleeping 8 hrs at night at 3 weeks and to am slowly working on stretching that out. It's amazing how much more doable life seems when you can get a full nights sleep.
She has also become really interactive. She will look at you and get this big smile and start cooing and when you do it back she gets excited.
Girl loves to eat. Whenever I start getting ready to feed her she knows the routine and starts almost hyperventilating and wiggling all her limbs, and then as soon as i put the bottle in her mouth her whole body just relaxes.
2 week stats:
9lbs 14oz 89%
22in 98%
Which is great considering at her one week check up she had lost too much weight and we switched her to formula.
Andrew: Has begun his real estate empire. Hopefully this week he will close on his first house flip, and he has been searching for his next. He also is part owner and manager of a duplex with his Aunt. He has been gathering investors and looks like this could really start to grow. He is still working full time at Polygon, so very busy.
Angie: Slowly getting back to reality. It's really hard struggling with the guilt of feeling like i'm not keeping the house clean and cooking dinner, but at the same time I know this is just a short period of time where Allie is this little and dependent on me.
I am really looking forward to this summer and spending days at the parks, and hopefully lots of trips to the beach:)
