A Few Of Our Favorite Things

 

Charlotte
• Calls her sister Carolin-a
• Immediately drops what she is doing when she hears Caroline cry
• Her skinny little legs poking out of her uniform skirts
• Soccer #10, just like Daddy
• Obsessed with pockets and rocks
• Pronunciation; th = f (fee-ATE-er), ch = sh (shock-O-late)

  

Caroline
• Makes the tiniest fist and rubs her eyes when tired
• She fits into my chest like a little puzzle piece
• Becoming a little shy
• Has a sudden interest in solo cups
• Quite a little blondie, hair is like chick fuzz
• Amazed at the flash of a camera (see above)

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
