FINALLY

Mr G.Q. huh? Brenden modeled in a photography workshop back in May (yes, in May.....Im a bit preterbed) We finally got to see some of the images! When he got home from school yesterday, I showed he and he says...... "mom, I look like a real life model! ......was I on T.V.?" So funny!!!! He is a riot!

Avery had her belated 15 month appt yesterday and she is doing well. 21lbs and 31 inches. So she is still a tiny girl, but doing quite well. She is still wearing 12 month clothes for the most part (18 month tops, but 12 month jeans) I think she will be ready to move up a size in the next month or so. she is walking with more and more confidence and getting a little faster too. She is beginning to show interest in books, actually looking at the pages rather than just flip them. She can identify a handful of things in books like, banana, ball, frog, dog, zebra. She is also discovering body parts and knows where her head, belly, nose, tongue, and ears are! She is learning new stuff every day!

Speaking of reading - Brenden is knocking my stinkin socks off! This kid is reading soooooooo well! We are so proud of him! Brenden is really looking forward to Christmas. He is also getting prepared for the 1st grade shoe tying relay. Should be a hoot!

Things are busy in the Hopf house. School, sports, holiday shopping...oh my!
