More Kate

Kate is really starting to look like herself. Or look more like Kate and not so much like a newborn. I don't think she looks like Caroline so much anymore. And she's getting so big! She was 12lbs at her 2month appointment (more than Caroline weighed). Every time I put an outfit on her I think, "That's the last time she's wearing this outfit!" One thing is for sure though. She's just so darn cute!

I still love her smiles.Even her little tongue is cute!Peek-a-boo!

Furrerfly!

Caroline found a better use for my baby sling.

Conventional use.

Caroline's more creative and far more entertaining use.

Double Digits!!! (With never seen before photos!)

Tomorrow my little boy turns ten years old. I can hardly believe it. Where has the time gone? Once he started kindergarten it was as if time went into warp speed. I've already started making a mental list of things David and I need to teach him before he leaves the nest (balance check book, do laundry, change a tire, etc.) I love him so much. He's been such a blessing to me. He's such a good kid with a heart of gold and such a nutty sense of humor. I just pray we get him (and us!) through his teens unscathed.

From the beginning, he was always smiling and happy.
In Florida Jonah and I were always going to either the pool or the beach.Who could say no to these blue eyes? I learned to, eventually.Jonah loved his cowboy boots! He wore them every chance he could.I got Movy for Jonah as a reward for finally going to the potty. I don't think Movy was as crazy for Jonah then as he (she) is now.
Jonah LOVED to play dress up... boy style. He never failed to crack me up!Jonah on his first team sport. He was so cute!
Jonah's first girlfriend. (I'm just kidding buddy!)I've been pleasantly surprised at what an awesome big brother Jonah has turned out to be. Caroline adores him. And I know Kate will too.He can always be such a character!
We love you JB! Happy Birthday!

First Milestone

Kate has been smiling for a while now. It's so darn precious.
She's smiling at a baby Einstein light up star. I swear that thing has some kind of mysterious magical powers over babies.

Exhibit B

(Can you believe I'm posting again in one day? The girls are both asleep at 8pm. Woot!Woot!)

All of our friends and family who see Kate don't think she looks anything like Caroline. I don't think Kate looks anything like Caroline now but I still think she looks a lot like Caroline when she was a baby, only with dark hair and eyes. And eyebrows. Kate is my only child who actually has eyebrows. Here are two more pictures that David and I felt the resemblance between Caroline and Kate was uncanny. Can you tell who is who? Pretty darn similar, huh?

Seeing Is Believing, Part 2

Yes! That's right. My boy made straight A's! Way to go Jonah!!!!
(He brought this home like a month ago but I couldn't get our scanner to work.)
