Two Months Old

Aravis is now two months old. This month she has really started to interact with her family. She is all smiles and loves her Mommy, Daddy, and brothers. She loves to be held. She loves to have her back patted. She loves to talk and coo. She is really vocal when she does tummy time. She even giggles. Such a sweet baby girl. 

In honor of Indiana's 200th birthday. Hoosier baby.

So Very Thankful

We have so much to be thankful for this year. We have a new, happy and healthy monkey in our barrel. We have family and friends that have loved and supported us all year. We have been fortunate to have the means to go on all our adventures. 

Opa came out to meet Aravis during Thanksgiving week. The two had so much fun together. 

Oma got more snuggle time

The boys participated in our new family tradition of a Thanksgiving morning Walk/Run that raises money for our local hemophilia chapter. Both Daddy and Elias were able to shave a few seconds off their times from last year. Emmett got a shiny metal!

We all went to Grandma's for a nice meal...

Aravis also got to meet her Great Grammy during the holiday weekend.

That Grammy is pretty awesome!

One full moon cycle old!

Our little monkey has made it from one Super Moon to another. She is one month old. She has started to smile and talk. She is quite the little talker. Maybe that's what you get from having two older brothers in a very loud house....

One month stats:

Weight: 10 lbs 9 oz

Height: 22 inches

We are Monumental!!!

Gotta run like an antelope outta control...

Today all three Flora boys completed in the Indianapolis Monumental Marathon. (Well, they didn't run 26.2 miles, but....)

Daddy met his goal coming in under 2 hours for a 1/2 marathon finishing 1:56:23

Elias completed his first ever 5K in 25:13. He finished 192nd overall and 23 of 410 in his age group. 

Emmett completed the Kids Fun run of 1/3 mile.

The Flora ladies cheered on the sidelines and are very proud of our boys!!!

Go CFI #2!!!

Walking home...

First fortnight

Aravis has been doing quite well for her first two weeks in the barrel. She is very alert, loves to eat and snuggle. She's a pretty calm baby (except for when she is hungry, wet, or tired.)

Pooping is serious business

Newborn smiles...

Daddy's mini-me. We think she takes after him.

Two week stats:
Height: 22 inches (grew a whole inch!!!)
Weight: 9 lbs, 7 oz (whoa good eater!)
Head Circumference: 35 cm
Sleep: mostly 2-3 hours, but occasionally up to 4 hours!

Boo!

Halloween is a favorite holiday around the barrel. There's going to the pumpkin patch, carving the pumpkins, dressing up, and of course trick-o-treating!

Halloween is also Bowie's birthday! He's 4!

We have Beast Boy, an Army skeleton, and black cat

All that stash!
