Happy 3rd Birthday Caroline

This beautiful, wonderful girl is now three years old. Caroline exudes warmth, kindness and beauty. She is such a pleasant, easy going, and yet strong and independent little girl. She is just so special, there aren't enough words.
I absolutely adore this little girl. Her mannerisms, her voice, her personality, everything. She is just a joy.
Such a sweet gift to me. I am so lucky to have her.
Cutest little girl with the cutest little laugh
 
Caroline is so feminine. She only wants to wear dresses, and they have to be up to her girly standards. Nothing too simple or basic. 
I love how she poses herself. Such a little natural. My goodness I just love her.
 
A few things about Caroline at 3 years old: She is as smart as a whip. Her vocabulary is very impressive. She loves to color and paint She has an amazing musical ear. She can learn songs after hearing them once  She loves all things pink and girly, she is a true princess. Her favorite princesses are Elsa and Cinderella She loves playing dress up. She loves jewels and dresses. She loves books. She loves the Peter Rabbit series She is a pretty pickey eater, though not as bad as Thomas. Nicknames: Tiny, Coco, coco bean, Bean, Panda She makes the cutest little quail call, and she has the most adorable faux whistle. Some funny things she says, "But mama, Pizza is a vegetable", "I want my food one hot, not two (too) hot"  She has a bunch of baby dolls and they are all named Margaret, with the exception of a little one she put in a sock and calls her baby mermaid.  She loves playing with her friends, and has a little friend named Cambria that she has taken a particular liking too She has pretty much everyone wrapped around her finger.   Caroline Anna, we love you more than possible to express. You are the heart and soul to our family, the sweet little girl that we feel beyond blessed to have in our home. We are better, kinder, more gentle, happier and full of greater joy because you are in our lives. happy Birthday!

Three Months of Theo

 
 
This sweet, happy, smiley, friendly, calm and loveable boy is now 3 months old. Just look at him! How could you not want to be his best friend. I'm pretty deeply smitten with him.
It's not hard to get a smile out of him.
And when you see those dimples.... It's will make you melt! He is the most smiley baby we've had. This picture sums up Theo pretty well. He is very happy, very social and as sweet as can be. He loves to hold his little hands together. It's the cutest little mannerism that he has. He use looks so angelic.  As a side note, this little vintage ensemble belonged to my brother in 1980.
The little boy is growing so well. He is getting some nice rolls on him. He is so snuggley and cuddley. He's just about perfect 
He looks so cute when he rolls to the side. 
Look how big he's getting! He can hold his head up pretty well.
 
The kids absolutely adore having him around. They can't keep away from him. He has been cooing a lot and one of the sounds he makes sounds like, "hiiiii" the kids are convinced he is saying hi and tell everyone, "Theo said his first  word! He says hi!"
Best buds 
 
 
Having a big sister is the best!
 
Modeling some of mamas onsies. He makes everything look good.
Little Dr. Allred. We have adored him from the moment we met and love him even more each day. He adds such a sweet and special spirit to our home. Theodore means "gift from God" and his name fits him so well. He is truly a wonderful gift to our family and has increased our joy exponentially.
