Caroline Got Barfed On

All of Sophie's care takers have been thrown up on over the last few months. Caroline has escaped unscathed until yesterday. She was sitting by me on the big chair while I fed Sophie and then......up it all came all over Caroline. Caroline didn't really know what to do and froze.
I am posting a picture of Sophie with Elmo.....he HAS been barfed on before. Thank you Caroline for sharing Elmo with Sophie sometimes.

Sophie Sits Up

Well, she started sitting up last Wednesday and I never posted. She is really good at it now. She can't get to a sitting position by herself, but she can stay in one if you sit her up. She loves to sit and play stack-up-cups and also watch Caroline play.

Sophie at 6 Months

Well, Chuck took the girls to their checkup appts this morning. Sophie weighs 18.06 pounds and is 27 inches long. She is in about the 90th percentile for both. The Doctor said that she is doing great and her eyes will probably stay light.
She has started to eat some more solids. She LOVES squash and also likes carrots.

Caroline is also growing well. She had a traumatic experience at the Dr's office. She had to get 4 shots....2 in each leg.
Thank you Daddy for taking the girls and having to listen to the screaming.

Caroline's Visit with Mama Leslie and Pappy Joe

This past week, Caroline went to visit Mama Leslie and Pappy Joe in Vidor. She rode the 4 Wheeler, leared to ride a bike with training wheels and all around had a fun country time. The Grandparents also took her to visit the Alligator Farm where she got to feed the Alligators. Here are a few pictures from her trip.

Playdoh

Last summer when Aunt Angie watched Caroline for Chuck and I while we went to Pennsylvania, Caroline got turned on to playdoh. Apparently this is the only activity she wanted to do at Kiddie Kamp last summer. Today she made an octopus with purple spots so we took pictues. She still loves playdoh.

Rice Cereal Beginnings

This past week we finally started Sophie on rice cereal. She absolutely doesn't like it. Sarah has been working with her all week to eat it. I actually bought some rice cereal with apple at the store this weekend and she doesn't like that either. I guess we will try some peas or something in the next few days.
Here is a progression of her faces during the first bite.

Ack! What's this?

Kinda wierd...

Mommy, don't you love me?

I love my Girls

We had a really nice lunch a few weeks ago for Mother's Day. Chuck took us to this really nice Italian restaurant in the Hill Country. It looks like Italy and the food is wonderful. I particularly like their Cinnamon Gelato. Bobbie and Elise came with us and we all had a really good time. Caroline and Sophie had a blast. Caroline was making Sophie giggle giggle giggle. Here are a few pictures of me and my girls.
I LOVE being their Mommy.
