We found out back in august that we were expecting another baby!! In November we found out we are having a boy and he should arrive sometime in late march!! Matthew is super excited to be getting a brother...Lilly not excited about a baby at all. (she says she's the baby)
Rick passed medic school and finished his training he has two national test left that he will complete in the next month or so then they will promote him to a paramedic position at work!! We are super proud of him, the course he went through was accelerated and extremely challenging but he passed with flying colors!!!
Then and Now!!
Then: Lilly January 2012
And Lilly Now:December 2012
Lilly has grown so much this year, especially her hair!!! She is certainly not a baby anymore!! If you ask her she will tell you she is Princess Pills. She still is a major daddy's girl! She likes to color and play with her brother!! Her favorite color is pink or yellow and she is also becoming a social butterfly!! She loves to do anything her brother is doing (good and bad)! She is sweet and oh so sassy and we love her to pieces!!
Then: Matthew January 2012
And Matthew now: December 2012
Matthew has grown up so much this year!! He is becoming such a little man!! He loves Lego's and coloring a doing basically anything that allows him to work with his hands!! He would spend every possible moment outside if we would let him!! He has two best friends Lilly and his little buddy Jonas!! His favorite color is blue and he has never met anyone whom he doesn't consider a friend!
He desperately wants to play sports this next year so we will see how that goes! He is a sweet fun-loving little boy and we sure do love him!!
2012 has been a wonderful year for our family!! We hope this year had been equally as good for everyone, and hope that the New Year brings happiness and health to all!!
Much Love,
The Davis Family
Rick, Rebecca, Matthew, Lilly and Baby Boy
