The Allain Family Adventures: Snow, Snow Go Away!

We have had quite the end of winter. Up until just recently, our winter has been pretty boring with minimal snow. Mother Nature really ramped it up the past month. We have had two big snow storms, with over 20 inches of snow = CABIN FEVER!! It has been pretty tough on everyone, but on the positive side we did get a couple extra days with Austin home.

Annabel:
The worker at the YMCA put it perfectly - "Look at all that sass in that tiny body!" She waltzes into the Y (in outfits that are AMAZING) likes she owns that place and whenever we come to pick her up she is playing with all the big kids (usually a group of elementary boys). We are in trouble! She is chatty from the moment she gets up to the moment she goes to sleep. She wakes up at 6:30 every morning and the first thing she does is get dressed. some of the outfits are cute and others make me bite my tongue. The words we have been working on recently is patience and patient.

The Fashionista:

And yes...she goes out in public like this!

Bryton:

Our crazy man...to put it lightly. We have to keep a very close eye on this little guy. He is having a hard time expressing himself in positive ways. He is hitting, biting, and yelling to get his point across. He is all boy and 2...what can I expect :) He also makes me smile and laugh all the time. He has a goofy side about him and a twinkle in his eye. Bryton is trying to talk more and more and tries to read his books with me. He still has not mastered the whole sleeping in his bed thing. He falls asleep next to his door and we have to move him to his bed. Before he goes to bed and when he wakes up, he goes to his door and lays down and kicks it......it is very loud!!!

This picture describes him perfectly!

He loves Finley!

He is into hats these days...even if it is pink.

All over the floor.

Finley:

Our little munchkin is getting big so quickly...time is flying by. I need a stop button. Finley is doing well for the most part. She is not the happiest baby, which makes me a little sad. She cries most of the day, but sleeps pretty good at night. I cannot take her many places with the kids because she cries the whole time. We had to take her to the ER in the middle of the night about a week ago because she kept choking and gasping for air in the middle of the night. She ended up having an upper respiratory infection and is still struggling with it now. Here are her stats from her 1 month (at 5 weeks) appointment- Weight 7.7 (6%) Height 21 in. (37%) Head 36 cm (18%). She is growing great! We have been able to capture a couple smiles too.
