Impromptu Photo Session

When Paul walked into the kitchen yesterday morning, holding both girls in their matching outfits, it turned into an impromptu mini photo session. I actually realized the other day, that I didn't have any pictures with the girls since before Christmas. So, since we were all dressed and full of smiles, here are the results.

Hula hoop

Mary Ellen has seen Ruby playing with a hula hoop on her favorite show, Max and Ruby. So, whenever she sees one, she wants to try it. She tells me she has to wiggle her hips and make it go!

Sweet hands and feet

Charlotte has discovered her feet, so she uses them to play with her toys. When she looks at them, she gets so excited about seeing them. Her world has expanded so much by finding these new appendages!

Not a very clear picture, but I looked down, and Charlotte was asleep with her hands folded. What sweet hands!

Sophie and Frankie

Charlotte is discovering toys, and she has some favorites. She really likes soft loveys, and one of them is an elephant. For some reason, Mary Ellen named it Frankie, and it has stuck. Charlotte puts it to her mouth, giving it many kisses and using it for a snack when she needs to! And then there is Sophie the giraffe. She is close to being able to hold it on her own, but sometimes you have to put it in her hand. She likes to close her grip before she has it. She gets so excited when she makes it squeak on her own, but loves to have others share the fun by squeaking it for her!

The last few days of the girls

These are just a few from the last few days of the girls. With being outside more and having a more regular schedule, I am going to try to be better about taking pictures and getting them on here quicker. But, that is easier said than done, so I will keep them coming as I can! :)

Look at me!

Here is a better one of Charlotte looking directly at the camera during tummy time!

3 months old

Charlotte is 3 months old! I knew that time flew with the first, but it really flies now! She is holding her head up really well and enjoys tummy time a little better, since she can hold her head up now. She doesn't love tummy time, but she will tolerate it for a bit. Yesterday on one of her tummy time mats, she actually rolled onto her back. She didn't understand why we kept putting her back on her stomach and started to get mad. Big sister loved watching her and cheered her a long. She is looking at her toys more and interacting with everyone. She smiles a lot at each of us, which of course we love! She doesn't go back to the doctor until she is 4 months, but I can definitely tell that she is growing as she out growing many clothes. She is very long, so she wears at least 6 month clothing and some 9 months. If it is two pieces, she can sometimes go a little smaller! We are looking forward to more pretty days ahead and having a chance to play outside more and more. There is so much for her to explore and discover as she continues to grow!
