Udall Update

Our little Avalon will be 3 weeks on Wednesday and she isn't so little anymore. At her doctor appointment last week, she weighed in at 8 POUNDS 3 OUNCES. She gained 2 pounds in 11 days! The doctor gave Mama the "Don't listen to Grandma when she says she is too fat" speech. She is really coming into her own and getting cuter by the day. Another post will have pictures of Little Grandma and Aunt Jewls who came to visit.






Max is still cute even though he is having a rough time. He lets us know how he feels towards the "new baby." When we aren't looking, he has been found hitting her with two hands as hard as he can. He doesn't like that she is still around. When someone is holding her, he gets very jealous. Last week, he threw his favorite stuffed animal "Camel" in the toilet. We are hoping for a quick adjustment... He is speaking in simple sentences and can count to 10 (with Dad's help past seven). He knows hundreds of animals, the "YUCKY BEETLE" being his favorite. He plays hard, sleeps great, and has stinky fat kid feet! He loves nursery, donuts, tootsie rolls, hot dogs, the trampoline, and watching Sesame Street and "Movie Move It!" (Madagascar) with Daddy.











Brig's parents came to visit. While they were here, Brig's father ordained him to a high priest and he was put in the bishopric as 2nd counselor. He is now back to work putting in long hours and in his spare time, he studies for the LSAT. He will be glad when that is over so his wife quits nagging and he gets to spend more time with the kids.



Shayla finally graduated from BYU... We didn't go to the commencement due to Avalon's arrival but she did put on a cap and gown for a picture before leaving Provo in April. This is her fan club, the Moffat family, who took care of Max while she went to class.

Poor Max... feeling left out! I remember Will being the same way but this too shall pass. And Camel will be saved from future dunking. :)

Congrats on graduations Shayla! we love you!

WOW! Avalon is darling! What a fun little button! Sorry to hear about the scorpion bites! Sounds terrible. Does spraying your house with bug spray mean that all the bugs will be out to kill you (not just bite)? 'Cause we just doused our apartment with a HEALTHY dose of Ortho Insect Guard...outside and inside...and have found many dead spiders and other bugs outside ever since.

HI Shayla,
It's great seeing your family: good job! :) I hope you are all doing great and we thank you for the treats you sent with Minni for us. I've been trying to find a way to get in touch with you, but now we have it!

Do you have facebook as well? I look forward to reading you posts!
