what are you upto these days??

Abigail: You try so hard to be on the straight and narrow. You are definitely a people pleaser. You love school and cheer leading. Teaching others is something that you love to do and are good at. Your favorite toy is your American Girl Doll, Felicity. You have been asking Santa to bring you her best friend, Elizabeth. You're worried about the situation because Elizabeth will soon be going into the archives at American Girl. You are a serious girl!

Your daddy and I are so proud of how hard you have worked and how well you are doing in your competitive cheer competitions. You are also a really social child. You like people and absolutely love to talk.

Miss Makayla: A picture is worth a thousand words, right?

 Well, my dear, this picture captures your free spirit precisely.

You do get very anxious when you get into trouble though. You have a difficult time speaking and fidget with anxiety. You don't really like to talk about how you feel very often.

You are really coming out of your shell lately. You are becoming more talkative and speaking your mind more often. You are doing good in school and love to read books. You asked Santa for Rudolph for Christmas. Santa told you that he couldn't do that because he needs Rudolph. You were so sweet when you asked him though!

You just started playing basketball and we can tell how excited you are about it. You are getting to spend extra time with Daddy and that's the way you like it.

Oh, little O: You. are. a. mess! And when I tell you that, you start to sing "I'm a mess. I'm a mess. I'm a big ol' messy mess!" from the Laurie Berkner Band.

You play pretend a lot lately. Today you pretended that you were loading your baby Ayla in the car and you told me you were going to Oliver's, going to work out, and you had a meeting. All of those tasks sound familiar. You really like to keep the road hot. On days that we stay at home, you spend most of your day asking where we are going. You love your sisters big time!

You really like when we spend time with Oliver, baby Abigail, and Adeline.

Your favorite toy is your baby doll Ayla. You named her after your cousin, Ayla. You asked Santa for clothes for baby Ayla and a bicycle. And I'm pretty sure you will get whatever it is that you want.

I love spending my days with you and you like to talk my ear off! You still hate bed time and nap time. It's usually a screaming fit (for you and me both).

We love you little ladies.

I am so excited to see your future.
