The Boston Bunch: Doctor Visits and Childhood Friends

Ally just turned 2 on December the 1st which means time for another check-up. This visit was the first time I have ever seen Ally smile and have fun the entire time she was there. Here are her latest stats:

Weight: 23 lbs. 1 oz.
Height: 34 Inches

Ally's weight has been in the 3% on the charts since she was born(she was born 5 weeks early), so the doctor was glad to see her weight jump up to the 5-10% of her age group. She loves milk and peanut butter so I think that has helped put on the pounds. Her height has always been in the 25-50% range. She is still in size 18 month clothing, but will be moving up to a bigger size soon due to the high water pants I saw daddy put her in the other day....haha!

Angela and Holden

My good friend Angela Owen just recently had a beautiful baby boy. His name is Holden Chase and he was born 7lbs. 6 oz. at 2:00 am Monday the 21st. Once again she has completely impressed me by having another natural birth. Angela and I go way back. We met in 1st grade and were best friends until 6th grade. We both went to different schools after that, but have recently caught up with each other. Angela and I were pregnant at the same time with our daughters. Her daughter Madison is 2 months older than Allyson, and they have been playing together since birth.

Angela was on bed rest for over 6 weeks with Holden and is now taking care of both he and Madison, so to give her a little break I picked up Madi and took her and Allyson to Chuck E. Cheese. They had a blast as always. They are at the age now where they both get so excited when they even hear mention of the word Cheese. Here are a few pictures from their day.
