Vallery update {15 1/2 months}

Our little Vallery is growing up so fast.  And I have been slacking on giving updates on her.  She has been walking for a few months now and can officially run, its a little stiff legged, but she can do it.  She is also a little bo-legged, which I find cute as can be.  She still has thighs for days!!  We call her out little chunker.  We have been waiting for her to thin out, but it doesn't seem to be happening anytime soon.  I was little late getting her 15 month shots, so her stats are as follows -

Height - 31.5 inches - 73%
Weight - 25.1 lbs - 89%
Head - 18.5 inches - 80%

She knows how to say so many words and will attempt to repeat anything you say.  Her favorite words are Mama, Dad, Bobo, Boston, Thank You, Bye Bye, Hi, and Night Night.  She says thank you after everything and it is soo cute.  She drags the "Youuuuuuuu" on and I want to laugh everytime.  Everytime you give her a drink of water or anything she asks for she will tell you thank you.  She can drink water from a cup, she knows her belly, nose, mouth, teeth, eyes, ears, hand, and fingers.  She still eats like a champ (clearly since she is almost in the 90th percentile).  She is a mommy and daddy's girl.  She loves any kind of attention and copies everything her brother does.  She has, of course, taken an interest in the ninja turtles and dusty from planes.  Vallery loves her blankets and binky.  She has to know where they are both at all times.

I do have mention her feet.  I never had a problem with Bo, but hers are so pudgy we have to be careful what shoes we buy for her.  She loves her Moccs and those always fit nicely, but needed a pair of everyday wear and tear shoes, so I found some purple Nikes that were wide and tall enough to fit her tiny {big} foot in.  I also got her some ugg-looking boots from Target and had to go up a size because I couldn't get them zipped up from her ankles!! 

She is a such a sweetheart and loves to cuddle and give hugs and kisses.  When she wants a kiss she puckers up and makes a noise to come give her one.  It is so sweet.  She definitely has Daddy wrapped around her finger because he thinks she can do no wrong. 

Love my family to pieces!!

Halloween 2014

Halloween was so much fun this year.  We had Bo and Vallery's costume picked out last year already so I was pretty excited to see them come to life.  Like last year we only bought one part of our costume and then just used whatever else we had.  Bo went as a devil and Vallery went as an angel and they couldn't have been any cuter.  I went as a cat last minute ($5 ears and tail from Target) and painted my face, so when I went to go paint Bo's face he kept telling me that he didn't want to be a kitty {too funny}.  We eventually got his eyebrows, mustache, and goatee on and he was ready to go.  I had planned on doing a little painting on Vallery's face, but decided it would probably be all over in 5 minutes, so we decided to leave that out.  I had looked f-o-r-e-v-e-r for Bo a devil cape that had horns on it and finally found one last minute.  Josh had gone has a devil when he was Bo's age, so as he requested we did the same for Bo.  We ordered Vallery's wings and halo from esty for 12 bucks and everything else she already had.

We met up with some friends to go trick or treating and all the kids had a blast.  The weather was pretty decent until the sun went down and got a little bit chilly.  All in all it was a fantastic Halloween and the kids enjoyed it.  Until next year......
