Crawling companions

Katie Quotable

Mama: Katie, you are getting so big!

Katie: I hope I don't get any bigger, I don't want to break my skin.

This was followed by a conversation explaining that your skin grows with you. Katie was relieved to know she wasn't about to bust out of her skin by outgrowing it. :)

Happy 4th Y'all!

The girls and their mama took a road trip to visit Mama's People down in Texas the first half of July. Roughly 1500 miles round trip, it is a road trip we won't soon forget (or care to relive anytime soon - ha)! We had a great time!

And she's off!

Caroline is really starting to go with the crawling so I’ve had the cameras out to catch her in motion before she masters it. Guess who CANNOT STAND for Caroline to be in a picture by herself?!?! Therefore, Caroline has a buddy in most of the pictures that document her learning to crawl!

How Does Your Garden Grow?

Katie came home a couple of weeks ago from summer school with a cup full of dirt and some cucumber seeds to grow her own plant. It actually started off pretty well and she was very excited to see the sprouts. Then she decided to water it herself...using Mama's bathtub faucet full throttle.

Date with Daddy!

Daddy has now achieved Rockstar status in our house since he took Katie to see Dora Live! at the Fox Theater in St. Louis on Saturday...and then stopped at Six Flags on the way home just because it looked like some fun. Daddy and Katie had a BIG time. They even stayed after dark for the light parade. Caroline got to go shopping at the lake with Mama...she was so excited she passed out in her Puffs.

Busy Bees

The girls are enjoying summer and go strong all day long. Caroline is on the verge of crawling and in the meantime rolls all over the place. I don't think she ever has a destination in mind, she just rolls. We're constantly pulling her out from under furniture or out of corners when she gets stuck!
