Here's a little catch up:
Jackson is doing great. He did his first science fair project this year. I enjoyed watching him gain some critical thinking skills as he figured his project out and put it together. He recently participated in a fun run to raise money for his school. The max amount of laps he could run was 36. He ran all 36. Way to go, Jackson!! He enjoys reading and devours the Magic Treehouse books when he gets his hands on them. He's still a lego maniac and can build a set in no time. He loves his lego video games and has a great time jumping on the new trampoline with Caroline. (I even get out there with them. It's way fun!)
Caroline is getting ready for her spring dance recital in May. They've been learning new songs and dances and practicing saying their names and ages for the crowd. I can't wait to see her perform again! She is the greatest helper any mom could ask for. She gets mad if I sweep and mop the kitchen because she loves to do it. She is William's favorite, I think. If you want to get a quick smile from him just bring Caroline around. He adores her and she him. We went back to story time at the library this week after about a year and she loved it. She was so excited for the stories, the songs, the finger plays and most of all the fact that we got to take books home with us. She was so pleasantly surprised that we could just take them home and we didn't have to buy them. (it's been way too long since that girl's been to the library)
William is now almost 3 months old. Seriously?!?! I know. I can't believe it either, but it's true. He is a dream baby. He's happy, healthy and strong. His face lights up when he smiles. He's been sleeping through the night more often than not over the last couple weeks. He's totally cool being toted around everywhere and actually naps better when we're away from home. Go figure. He has rolled over several times, but still often gets frustrated when he can't get his arm to cooperate so he can. His cry is changing. He no longer sounds so much like a newborn. He has discovered his hands and lip flutters like crazy. He's become incredibly drooly and is starting to need a daily bib to keep from drenching his clothes. He has graduated to size 2 diapers but still fits in 3 month clothes. I have a feeling that will be changing in the next few weeks or so. He's getting pretty long and round. We blessed him at church about this time last month and I somehow managed to go the entire day without getting a single picture. We had so much family and so many friends here to celebrate him. It was a fabulous day! The blessing Chad gave was perfect. I love baby blessings!
Even though this blog has been neglected, I blow up Instagram with daily pictures. So, if you follow me on Instagram these will be familiar as they are all from there.
Just waking up from a nap
Morning snuggles
Hanging out in their blanket fort
Just before bath time
His awesome boo boo lip
Blue eyed boy
"Brothers gotta hug"
Buddies in Jackson's bed
(sidenote: about 15 minutes after this was taken, Caroline vomited all over the carpet. Fun.)
Faces of William
Caroline and her first crawfish
Easter duds
Gone "fishing"
The discovery of the hand
Saying farewell to our good friends on the day they were moving
snuggles and a smooch
milk coma
The only kind of hunting we do
The science fair project
All smiles
she thought we all needed a sticker
story time
she's the tooth fairy
Can you tell which one didn't want their picture taken?
