Pro Pics!

Miss C. had her very first photo-shoot last week and she really IS the Kate Moss of babies! Every.single.picture was completely adorable. We were limited to picking just one(for now) but I so wish you all could see the rest! Here she is in all her pink, fluffy glory!





And for funsies, here's Ben and Emily at 4 months, too!

4 Months Old!

It's official! Callie is no longer a newborn. My sweet little baby is now refered to as an infant. She is clearly getting cuter by the day and continues to be the apple of our eye. At her 4 month appointment, she weighed in at a slender 12 lbs, 10 oz. and a very long 25 1/4 inches long. She's the Kate Moss of babies, I guess! She has been laughing more and more, although I don't believe she'll be a real giggler, per se. It takes a lot to get her laughing and it seems to scare her once she does it. She'll be the stoic child in the family, perhaps. She thisclose to rolling over and continues to work on her sitting.


Four Months Old! Do you like her headband? I made this one:)
Before you get impressed, it came from a pre-fab kit, but I made it nonetheless!

Her eyes are changing. The final verdict is brown=) Sorry, Dan!
None of them got their daddy's baby-blues, although Emily had beautiful blue eyes until she turned 10 months old.

Big Sissy wanted in on the photo-shoot:)

Tootsies! Can you believe how tiny Callie's feet are compared to Milly's?

This is love: Part Two

Ok, so I thought Emily loved Callie because she has been huggin' and lovin' on her tons lately. Today, she confirmed it BIG TIME! Callie started fussing while I was in the other room and I could hear Emily talking to her. She said, "Ohh, don't cry, Callie!" in the cutest, high-pitched voice like I use when I talk to her=) That alone was pretty adorable, but when I came in to check on them, this is how I found Callie:

If giving your baby sister your beloved Tinkerbell doll isn't a testament to your deep love and adulation then I don't know what is! The second pic is of Callie gazing at Emmie with equal love and adulation...awwww!

This is love...

Someone has fallen majorly in love with her baby sister! I can't keep Milly away from Callie lately=) She seems to reciprocate Emily's affections, as well. I know things won't always be so peaceful in Sisterville(the trade-off seems to be that Ben and Emily now fight like rabid beasts all.the.freakin.time!) but we're enjoying the lovefest while it lasts!

Pumpkin Pounding

We all take turns coming up with a special project for the class at Ben's preschool. My work day is Monday, and there are 4 other parents that also work this day, so I have to come up with a new project every 5 weeks or so. This is not so easy but sometimes I manage to hit the nail on the head! Speaking of hitting the nail on the head, my project this time was pumpkin pounding. I brought in some small pumpkins and the kids got to pound golf-tees into them. Sounds pretty simple, but O.M.G. They flipped for this activity! Some of them spent more than 30 minutes at my table and we had a waiting list that had at least 4 kids on it at any given time. I knew Ben would love this activity because he is majorly into tools lately. He did not disappoint, and spent a lot of time woking on his pumpkin=) Phew! My project was a success, and now I have 5 more weeks to think of a new one!

Lipstick

I left Emmie in the batchroom to finish washing her hands. When I came back to check on her, she nearly jumped out of her skin and dropped something on the floor. It was a tube of lipstick that she'd carefully applied to her little pucker. When she realized I wasn't mad, she smiled and said, "I look pretty, mama! I look pretty like Tinkerbell!"=) She did a surprisingly good job and didn't get it anywhere else but her face. She cried bitter tears when I had to wipe it off. I guess I better put my make-up away from now on!

A day late....

...but worth the wait! Here's our little Baby Jaguar modeling her costume!
