Bath Time is the Best Time

We let them take a bath together tonight. Boy, did they have fun! 

Eyes definitely got poked. It also prompted a talk about proper body part names. According to Tommy, boys have wieners and girls have butts. Ha!!! 

These are the days, that's for sure. :-) 

Charlotte's New Teeth

Charlotte came home from daycare on Valentine's Day with 2 brand new teeth! Big surprise! Two at once!

It took forever to get a picture of them. I think I took about 20 pictures before I got the right angle. 

Most of the pictures looked like blurry versions of this. 

Then I just gave up and took cute pictures like this. 

Look at that sweet outfit. So cute. 

Baby Food Adventures: Let's Try Squash

Best reaction yet! She still looks like she's saying, "Is this some kind of joke?"

She didn't gag much when trying the squash. Big improvement! She also really came around the second day and ate it all. Yay!

Bounce House!!

We now have two sets of friends with Bounce Houses!! Awesome! (That means we don't have to buy one, right??)

 We went over to Wyatt and Harper's for Bounce House fun.  The kids had a ball.

 They slept pretty well that night, I'm sure!

I didn't get a picture of them doing it but they were all pressing their faces up against the netting.  It was hilarious.  These kids.  They are going to have so much fun growing up together! 

Let's See Some More Pictures of Charlotte...

She got this Purdue onesie for Christmas and she's already close to growing out of it.  I forgot how quickly babies grow out of their clothes.

 Baller! Watch out, Tommy! She'll be dunking on your hoop soon!

 Oh that little smile!!

 It keeps getting bigger…

And bigger!! 

She also gives the "What the heck is this?" look.

Sweet sleeping baby.  

Spending Time as Bro and Sis

I'm always afraid I'm missing key moments with these two together.  But I have caught a few and I know that there will be many more to come.  

 Bedtime is always the most adorable.

If I would let him, he would have her sleep in his bed, I'm sure.  

 During the day, most of the moments are like this.

Or like this! Yikes! 

 "What? I didn't do noffing."  :-)

Baby Food Adventures

So we've been working on feeding Charlotte baby food.  We started with rice cereal.  She wasn't really excited about it.  Then we tried oatmeal and blammo! She loves that stuff! Our doctor told us to try yellow veggies.  But being a second time mom, I'm like, "Don't worry. I got this."  I picked up some random baby food at the store and we decided to try pears.  Because who doesn't like pears?? They're amazing!
You know who doesn't like pears???

 This girl.  She acted like we were torturing her the entire time! She must have her dad's salt cravings instead of my sweet tooth. Sheesh!

This is my favorite picture.  Whatever filter I chose on Instagram really brought out those beautiful blue eyes.  Completely disgusted and confused blue eyes.  

Time to backtrack.  Maybe we'll look into those yellow veggies now. :) 

Why I Always Want to Race Home From Work

Because I have to look at this mouse pad all day.  Are you kidding me with this? Cuteness Explosion.

Catch Up Post for Tommy T

 Tommy T.  Oh my dear sweet boy.  He loves his little sister like she's all his. She is definitely his favorite person right now. 

He is so sweet with her. 

He loves doing things for her, like reading books! She has complete and total trust in him too.  She loves everything he does, even when he's poking her in the eye.  It's hilarious.  Just a huge smile whenever he's around. 

It ain't easy being cheesy! I have a feeling there will be many more pictures like this in the future!

 Tommy went to a Purdue game recently, just him and Dada.  They had a great father/son night.
 

Did you know the double chocolate Ghirardelli brownies have no milk or eggs in them unless you add them? So I substituted applesauce for the one egg and VIOLA! Brownies for Tommy! They're not exactly the same but they're so close!! He had so much fun stirring the bowl and licking the spoon. First time I've ever had him do that.  It was exciting!

Tommy's new fave movie is Hercules, or as he calls it, 'Perkalee'.  Tommy was singing one of the songs from the movie and said, "I can make my wayyyyy. I can go to the dentist!" HA! Distance, that is.  But dentist works too. 

He's starting to learn and recognize his letters.  He knows D is for Dada.  M is for Mama and Morgan.  W is for upside down Mama (Hey however he wants to remember these letters, we encourage it!).  He knows C is for Charlotte.  T is for Tommy T and T Rex.  P is for Purdue Pete.  J is an upside down candy cane.  V is for Vulture.  H is for Helicopter.  He recognizes N but I can never remember any words for that besides No.  O is an easy one for him, probably since they just learned it last week.  He also knows some of his months and the days of the week.  It's amazing the things he's learning and retaining.  I can't believe it won't be long before he's reading!!! Time is going so fast!

A Catch Up Post for Charlotte

 It's only been about 2 weeks since I've posted on the blog but it feels like an eternity! So what has Charlotte been doing?

 She's mostly just been looking cute as a button. 

 Getting her picture taken...

 Making all sorts of faces...

 Wearing an assortment of headbands...

 Playing with an assortment of toys...

 Working on being able to sit up...

 Sleeping in random places...

 Smiling the most adorable smile...

 Laughing with the most adorable laugh...

 Laughing until she's slapping her knee...

 We've moved on to oatmeal now.  She likes it much better. 

 She still loves her pink ball.

 Sweet sleepy face.

 She eats her toes during bath time.  Yum!

 Occasionally she likes to hold her own bottle (like a champ of course). 

When she's REALLY happy, she smiles like this.  Just a giant wide open mouth.  The wider the mouth, the happier the little lady.  It's hilarious. 

She's also been making a sound like a motorboat so I'll have to get that on video for the blog.  Busy girl!!
