what we've been up to...

Jeez...I can't believe that I haven't posted anything since Baby C turned two months old! We've been busy 'round these parts, and add to that there's a certain member of our house who refuses to nap for longer than 30 minutes at a time...and there's not much time for blogging. Alas, I am going to make an effort to post more regularly.

So here's the Instagram version what we've been up to!

 

A learned how to ride a two-wheeler. She basically taught herself while she was at home and E was in school. She's crashed a couple of times, including one pretty bad fall where she busted her lip and gums...but gets right back on the bike. She stopped going to daycare in early June (we had kept her going a few days a week) and is super psyched for K next year.

 

E finished up first grade in high style. She ended up getting awards for Top Wildcat of the Quarter and for the Year as well. So, she was 4 for 4 at awards assembly this year! Quite impressive!

 

C turned 12 weeks on Friday! She is so awesome...just a happy, adorable baby. Well, except for the lack of napping. The whole family adores her. Last night, I got her to giggle by zerberting her belly and giggling at her. Soon all four of us were standing around her changing table listening to her giggle. It was so cute. We haven't recreated the giggles again...but not for lack of trying.

 

As for me, I'm officially a stay at home mom. No, really. I got laid off from my job in early June. Over the phone. While on maternity leave. Yeah, it kind of sucks...but I was unhappy there anyway. I've been sending out some resumes and had an interview or two...so hopefully I'll have news to report soon. But, until then, I'm hanging out with these three cuties. Not too shabby.

two months!

 

Baby C turned 2 months old yesterday! She is such a fantastic baby. You know how they say that God will give you what you can handle? Well, he obviously knew that I can't handle much and gave me a dream baby. She is such a smiler...and the cooing! So cute. We had a couple of fantastic nights of sleeping (9PM to 4AM and then to 7AM)...but of course, I *told* people about it last night...and so she got up twice because I had jinxed it.

My friend, Autumn, sent these awesome stickers that you are supposed to put on the baby's onesie each month. However, we don't have plain white onesies...so A and I decided to use the chair. They are so cute...I'm bummed we didn't get a chance to do 1 month with them.

Speaking of one month...here's a side-by-side shot of the first two months. The difference is mind boggling.

 

And, just for kicks...here are pictures of the girls at about 7 weeks.

E...C...A

I think she definitely has E's nose, but A's eyes (except for the color). And, it cracks me up because compared to the other two, she's so bald!
