This Chapter of Our Lives: The Everyday June 2013

Addie (2.5 mo) & Delaney (3.5 mo)

I don't want to get in the habit of comparing my two amazing girls but I came across a similar picture taken just a month apart in age. Addie, at 2.5 months, won the weight prize while Delaney, at 3.5 months took the award for most hair!

Delaney's Pool Time

At 3.5 months, Delaney enjoys the pool and watching her brother and sister.

Rolling Over - 15 weeks Old

Delaney's FIRST Swim!

At 12 weeks old, it was more like a "lounge!"

 Followed by a nap in the warm Friday afternoon heat!

First Toys

Big brother and sister are always at Delaney's side and excited to introduce her to many of her first toys when she was 3.5 months old.

This Chapter in Our Lives: Family Pictures Are Hard These Days!

Family snapshots have been very hard to come by since adding a newborn to the family. This attempt, showing the chaos at times, perfectly depicts our lives right now.

Bumbo Fun!

At three months, Blake was anxious to get Delaney in the Bumbo. Who knew seven years ago when we got this for Carter that it would be handed down to two sisters!?!? One of my very favorite baby products ever.

Addie's FIRST Gymnastics Class

For Addie's 5th birthday, she got a fancy leotard and real big girl gymnastics class lessons. It's been six weeks and she really loves it and I love how challenging it is!

Delaney At 3 Months Old

At 3 months:

You rolled over at 3 months & 1 wk on June 19 (15 weeks old)

You are still a gassy girl (sounds like popcorn!)

Weight: 13.5 pounds

Your eyes are still super blue

You eat six times a day & sleep 10-11 hours at night

You had your second nasty cough that lingered for a week but it never got too bad

You look very different to me than Carter and Addie

Your fist is in your mouth at all times and you are working on finding your thumb (with Ya-Ya's help)

You love your swing

You love the Baby Bjorn and looking out now (your first giggle was in this while you were looking in the mirror)

Aunt Erin To The Rescue!

My first week back from four months off from Maternity Leave was June 3, 2013. It was the week of Carter's last few days of school and Addie and Delaney's school happened to be closed this one week for transition to their new school year. Six months ago, I had asked my sister, Erin, if she could come help out that week and she came through with flying colors. I couldn't have asked for a better first week away from my baby Delaney, knowing she was safe and sound with her Aunt Erin!

Carter & Kindergarten: Than & Now

A look back at Carter from the FIRST day of Kinder to the LAST day! One major difference was the first missing tooth on the bottom left.
