Dr Apts & A New Kitchen!

Alexya and Santino went to the doctor together today & he's trying to catch up to her I think...

Alexya: 3ft tall and 30lbs (3 yrs) (percentile: 23% & 46%)
Santino: 2 1/2 ft tall and 22.3lbs (9 mos) (percentile: 92% & 72%)

The cutest part was when we had to wait to get their shots...and I had told Alexya if she was brave and got her shot she could have a lollipop. So, kids were going in screaming and coming out crying and Alexya kept asking if it was her turn yet...then finally it was. So Robert took her in and Sonny and I were waiting and waiting...she comes running out and screams, "Mommy, I got my shot and it didn't even hurt! Look I got a lollipop!" Everyone in the waiting room laughed and I think I was in shock! I am VERY proud of her and Sonny, since he only cryed a little bit when they stuck the needle in, but not too bad. I think it was the best doctor visit we've ever had. :)

Here they are playing with the new kitchen we bought Alexya for her birthday (gave it to her early).

A picture after I finished building it....the kitchen was only $80, but putting it together was at least $80 in labor I think! ;) Overall, I did a ton or research and even had help (thx debbie) and this one seemed to be the most reasonably priced and still good quality.

I think it's a very good investment in future play time that won't require mommy or daddy's involvement = free time = priceless! :)

Santino's 1st Halloween

Dressed up as Tigger (alexya's costume from last year) and very cuddley with daddy. Sonny went trick-or-treating too...he got to ride in the stroller and watch his sister climb the steps to each house and get candy... he had a great time and even got his own glow stick!

Pictures with his sister...which he thought were funny...

Alexya, Santino and Kara (in the lion costume). The cousins all dressed up for halloween!
(Matt has a very cute one of Sonny & Kara that as soon as he sends me I will put up) :)

Alexya's Halloween

She got up and painted her pumpkin....

Got dressed in her Princess Cinderella dress...

Went to Mimi and Papa's house for trick-or-treating and got tons of candy!
Even make some new friends since she loved to chat with any kids who were walking up to a door at the same time as her. She even told one little girl who was about 7yrs old, "you're a princess for halloween? I'm a princess too. I'm Cinderella. You have a glow stick? I have a glow stick too." The conversation would have kept going except the door opened and they were given candy...then it was goodbye. She got scared at a couple houses, but was very brave and didn't let that stop her from getting her candy! I think this is the perfect age to take them trick-or-treating because we actually had a lot of fun! :)
