Upon Request

I did try getting them side-by-side but I guess my margins aren't wide enough. Who knows. I have enough trouble trying to figure things out. I mean I still have a Thanksgiving background that comes up..does anyone know how to fix that? I can't even find out where it is!?!?!

Anyway....Here is a picture of Lydia at three months and then one of Caroline down below at the same age.  I have had a number of people say..she doesn't look anything like her sister.  I can see some features that are similar.  Caroline is defiantly smaller and has some petite features.  I have NO clue where she got those because there is nothing petite about her father or me.  I can't wait to watch them grow :) 

My two beautiful girls!!  My sister keeps telling me that Kane and I make beautiful babies...I think she might be right :)  but aren't all babies beautiful!

SWeEt CaROliNe

On Tuesday little Miss was three months old.  In some ways the time has really flown by and then sometimes I think...it has only been three months.  I think I finally have things "together".  AND yes, it only took me three months.  Having two little ones has been a bigger adjustment than I thought it would be.  Well, I knew it would be hard.  However, now I look back at things that I didn't like to do with just Lydia and think, that would have been really EASY!!  I am pretty sure today was the first time I took  them both to Dillons.  Everyone was great and was pretty painless.  Tomorrow I am making a quick trip to Derby...we shall see how that goes.  

Caroline at THREE months:  

*She is sooo close to rolling over

*grabbing things like crazy

*talking

*trying very hard to suck on both fists at the same time

*wearing size 2 diapers

*wearing mostly 6 months clothes

*sleeping some nights 10 hours...but others needs to get up once to have a snack

*starting to smile when Lydia talks to her :) 

Loves to have her hands close to her mouth..almost got a little smile!

Lydia and Caroline.  I am pretty sure Caroline is going to think her name is sis, sister, or sissy because that is all we call her!

Yesterday Lydia decided that Caroline needed to set in Emma's car seat.  It is a little plastic seat for a baby doll.  I told her that Caroline was too big for that..so she took matters into her own hands.  I was fixing lunch and had Lydia's plate finished, turned around to get a fork and saw Lydia holding her sister in a bear hug.  Caroline was just kidding hanging there.  Lydia had picked her up.  My eyes just about popped out.  I didn't want to yell at her because I was afraid she would have dropped her.  I went running over there and grabbed C and told LG that she could not pick her up and carry her.  I think I scared her!  She sure scared ME!

Wordless Wednesday

Daddy and His Daughters

We had a wonderful Father's Day yesterday!  We were able to see and spend time with all the "dad's" in our family.  We had a wonderful breakfast with Kane's parents and celebrated Father's Day with Papa Dennis.  Then later that evening we saw Papa Roger.  Lydia loves her papas.  

Lydia and I broke out her pool only to discover it has a slight hole in it.  So, we headed to Wal-Mart and found a new one for her.  It is bigger and the first thing she wanted to know was if her friends could come over.  She is a social butterfly.  Then we finished up some things around the house and spent the rest of the day just being with each other.  It was nice...

AND of course we had to have a photo session with dad...or dude.  Yes, Lydia has started calling Kane dude or duder.  It is very strange.  I have no clue where she came up with it, but, I just have to laugh..because she says it ALL the time.   

Kane, Caroline, baby girl, and Lydia.  Lydia has really been playing with her baby dolls lately.  She has several.  Emma is her cabbage patch doll and the only one that she calls by name.  So, I was trying to get her to name this baby.  Which is MY baby doll (no joking) and she just wanted to call her baby girl.  AND she also had to be in the picture. 

We did have some tears when baby girl had to exit the picture :) The girls are sooo luck to have you as their father--you are the best..dad..or dude!

Caroline looking very sweet!

So, peaceful.....

This is Lydia feeding her baby.  Note:  This is her bottle...we really don't use it for Caroline

Hope everyone had a great Father's Day!! 

The Swing Set

Last month we decided that little Miss Lydia and of course one day Caroline too needed a swing set.  We had spent some time looking at different options and decided to purchase a kit from Sam's.  We traveled the distance to pick it up and when we did we were surprised that it came in four VERY thin boxes and had a green plastic slide.  So, we loaded it up and headed home.  Kane was in a big hurry to get it assembled.  I mean what was ONE more project added to our already very long list.  Kane along with the help of his father whipped this out.  Not sure how many hours they spent...but, I am pretty sure they won't be signing up to put another one together anytime soon :) 

ALL the wood!  Kane couldn't believe how they got some many pieces in one skinny box!!

AND here is all the screws and bolts :)

One more pic before assembly started

Kane started putting this together in front of the shop..so he had to move it some how...I was a bit nervous for this and had to go inside!  Kane's parents and Frost helping out!

The finished product and a rainbow to boot :)  Lydia has already put in some major hours playing on "her swing set."  The first evening it was finished Lydia came in crying so I just knew she had fallen...nope just didn't want to come in! 

2 months already!?!?!

Caroline was two months old on the 22nd...I know I am couple of days behind.  Blogging has really been on the back burner lately.  Having two kids really makes for a busy day!

I am happy to report that Caroline is turning into a happy/smiling baby.  She is sleeping great!  Which I love. 

We went to the Doctor last Monday and everything looked great.  The medicine she is taking seems to really be helping her reflux.  We might have to start playing with the dosage.  But, for know we are just giving it to her once a day. 

She is really growning! 

Weight:  12 lbs. 5 oz

Length:  24 1/4 inches 

Caroline @ Two months:

Cooing like crazy

Social Smiling

Grabbing for objects

Trying to roll over

Like I said before..I really need to write these down! 

Caroline's One Month Stats AND The Pink Bear

I realize, I am late getting this post together (this is begining to be a constent theme).  Caroline was a month old on the 22nd of April!  I think I mentioned that in an earlier post..but I totally forgot to take her picture with the the "pink bear" and mention any of the amazing things she is already doing. 

Weight:  9 lbs. 14 oz.

Length:  22

She is a growing girl.  We have still been a little fussy..so we have gone to the Dr.'s twice because I just knew it was MORE than just a "fussy baby"  Last Wednesday we had an x-ray to make sure everything was fine with her intestines.  Everything looked fine..tried some medicine that didn't not work.  SO, we went back this Tuesday and we are fairly certain that she has some reflux problems.  She is currently taking Zantac and I am hoping that does the trick.  I have yet to see a major improvement...and if I am going to be giving my daughter medicine like this...I want there to be MAJOR improvement.  She is still growing...on Tuesday she was 10 lbs. 14 oz. and her length was 22 3/4. 

We have been doing A LOT of this :(

Miss Mellow..yeah!!

And even a smile :)

She is changing daily.  Some of the things she is doing: 

*Smiling

*Trying to roll over

*Enjoys tummy time

*Making different sounds

*Likes her sister..I think

GOSH, I need to do better at writing these down!

Lydia told me yesterday that Caroline was her best friend and that she loved her!
