My Little 3 Month Darling

This might be my new favorite picture. Aren't my children adorable? My goodness I love them.  They are so sweet, they melt my heart everyday.

Our beautiful baby girl is now 3 months old and oh my, how I love her. She is the most peaceful and lovely creature I know. And as you can tell, she is just gorgeous. Hence the photo overload to follow. I'm sure no one minds looking at pics of this lovely though.

This has been a big month in terms of developments for Miss C. I feel like we are really finally in a good groove with everything. Now its hard to imagine my life without 2 kids. This lady is growing so fast. She is getting stronger and bigger every day.  I can't believe how big she looks holding herself up from her tummy. What a doll.  One of the biggest developments is that Caroline is now sleeping through the night. And I don't mean sleeping for 8 hours. No. She sleeps 12-13 hours every night. It is AWESOME! I can't tell you what a relief this is for me, seeing that I don't get any breaks in the day to take naps. I am feeling so much better emotionally and physically. It has made a big difference.

She has also started laughing, although its usually interrupted by Thomas coming to pounce on her. But what a cute sound it is! She is also now grabbing at things and trying to roll over. She doesn't get quite as much floor time as she should, because she lives with a wild animal in the house. But we are doing better :) 

The little miss has also started sucking her thumb. I knew this was coming, and couldn't stop it. And truthfully, it is a big component to her sleeping so well, so i will deal with this issue in a year or two and  enjoy it for now. 

Just look at that little girl! A living doll I tell you!

Oh and yes, she is still as chubby as can be. Love all those cute little rolls. And just look at those eyes, can't you see her sweet, gentle soul? Beautiful.

I love to carry this lady around. It makes me happy. 

                                                    Everyone loves to snuggle this girl.

Life with Thomas....

Anyone with a big brother can tell you...sometimes they are a bit pesky. 

But really, you just can't help but love them! You know a big brother deep down just loves you to pieces. And Thomas truly loves this lady. Whenever she wakes up from a nap Thomas says, "Oh! The Lady's awake!"

This is the exact dialogue that Thomas was having, "Tarwowine! Don't be nervous. It's just me."

Yeah I think that is what makes her nervous. Ha ha! Gotta love this little monkey boy. 

Whenever I'm taking pictures of Caroline, Thomas says, "Mama, take my picture!" And of course you can never have too many pictures of this rascal. I think this one really captures his essence.

And this one captures his saggy little mane, and of course it shows his sweet side too. Love that boy.

And here he is after his hair cut. I had to negotiate with him to let me cut his hair, he had to cut a few snips from mine! Hopefully that doesn't happen every time...although it probably will. Isn't he a handsome boy? 

Ok. I had to post this picture. But before you report me for being the a terrible mother, please know two things. First, immediately following this picture I sent Thomas to time out and told him that he CAN NOT jump over Caroline. She is our sister, not a hurdle. And secondly, I knew that Caroline was in no real danger when I snapped this photo. So I had to take advantage of the moment. Think of me as a photo journalist, taking actions shots of the nitty gritty real life happenings to preserve history :) This is as real as life gets at our house.

I love this picture. I love how much Clint loves this little girl. She has him wrapped around his finger. It makes me so happy to see how much my husband loves our children. And vice versa. This lady loves her papa.

And these pics just show my darlings sweet expressions, and I had to throw in 2 monkeys for good measure.
