A good time was had by all and we each learned a little something new too!

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A Lazy Sunday Morning

Pre-K

Happy first day of Pre-K, Charlie!

I've tried and tried to barter with Charlotte."Can't you stop growing now, Charlie," I always ask. To which I always hear, "Come on, Mama. You know I can't stop growing. I eat and I grow. That's how it works!" Regardless, little lady, we can't wait until your return home today so we can learn all about your new teacher, classroom and everything you'll be learning this next year!

 
 

It's so much easier having school uniforms - dragging of the feet, yes, but (mostly) no more morning arguments!  

Four Months

Happy Four Months, Sweet Caroline!

 


What another incredible month, little lady! I really planned for your monthly photos to have the same back drop, look and feel, but last month we were at the beach and then the picture up above happened and I just couldn't resist - this picture captures you like no other 'posed' photo possibly could!

In this month...

• you really like to hold my finger while nursing
• you have started to roll over (from back to tummy, left side only) - Vesa says you can roll from tummy to back and from back to tummy, but we have yet to see
• your eyes are still a piercing blue
• you went from the SwaddleMe to the SleepSack - you're now completely arms free
• you love to sit up on our laps and take everything in
• you like to hold on to shirt collars
• you intentionally reach for everything that interests you
• you are almost too big for the PUJ tub
• you are loving the Bumbo
• you really enjoy your Little Taggies blanket and light up when Sophie makes an appearance
• you are OBSESSED with your fingers and they're always in your mouth 
• you are in the 55th percentile for weight and the 35th percentile for height

A happy little swimmer.

 

Sister love.

 

New light in the kitchen.

 

Patiently waiting for Mommy and Daddy to get their sh*t together to go next door to swim.

 

Momma feet and baby feet.

 

My girls.

Still Smitten

I must confess — I am STILL utterly smitten with Mr. Young. I would shout it from the roof top if I could, but honestly that would make me a little too dizzy and woozy; I'll just settle for shouting from my chair, here in the home office. We just celebrated our 10-year wedding anniversary and I truly cannot wait to see what fun the next ten years will bring. Happy anniversary, darlin!

Three Months

Happy Three Months, Sweet Caroline!

 
 
 


This past month, I went back to work (June 6th to be exact); quite a bittersweet time. I find myself missing our spur of the moment naps and the hours of just being able to hold you in my arms.

In this time...

• you have started to giggle
• your three month jammies are being stretched to their limits
• you love to be talked to - you squeal and gurgle in reply
• you have found both of your hands
• you have "coffee" with Vesa every morning
• you switched from the Pod to a SwaddleMe (it's like opening a Christmas present every morning)
• your eyes light up when we walk into your room
• you hold your head real steady
• you got your toes wet in the ocean for the first time
