Carolyn had a friend overnight last night for her very first sleepover! The girls had a really fun time, and even let Anna in on their play now and then. (Poor Anna thought that Simone had come over to visit her…I guess she’s pretty used to playing with much older kids!)

Carolyn seems to have mastered the art of hyperbole: “Mommy, you’re the best mommy in the whole entire universe!” is a common one. As is “Anna, you’re the best little sister ever!” I’m just waiting until she learns that they can be used negatively, too. And yesterday in the car I brought up Mimi. Mimi [...]

Carrie had her kindergarten screening this morning. The teacher should have realized she had her hands full when she said something along the lines of “oh, goody, I get to test a four year old” and Carrie piped up with “actually, I’m four-and-a-half now!” I couldn’t see most of what was going on, but I [...]

I know there’s 6 months before she actually goes to Kindergarten, but I can’t believe my baby is old enough to be going to Kindergarten! And riding the bus! And eating her lunch away from me every day… Good thing she’s excited about it! This is in front of the building where she’ll be going [...]

Vital stats: 2 years, 1 day old 24 lbs. 3 oz. 35″ tall Carrie’s 2 year checkup was today, and she’s doing great! We were supposed to get a flu shot today, but for some reason the doctor said they were only giving flu shots to their 6 to 24 month patients. Um, OK, her [...]

How can something as simple as pigtails make Carolyn look at least a year older than she really is? They’re adorable, but it almost makes me sad to see how old she looks! She wasn’t thrilled with me taking her picture while she was trying to watch “A, B, C, D, LALALA SONG!” -as she [...]

Vital stats: 18 months, 3 days old 21 lbs. 13 oz. 33″ tall Carrie only gained 4 ounces from three months ago, although there didn’t seem to be too much of a concern over that – she’s still tracking along the 25th percentile curve for weight and around the 80th for height. This explains why [...]

Vital stats: 15 months, 2 days old 21 lbs. 9 oz. 31.75″ tall One of my wishes for Carrie is that she won’t have to shorten every single pair of pants she buys – and since she’s currently in the 80th percentile for height, it might come true! Four shots today, this time in her [...]

Vital stats: 1 year, 2 days old 20 lbs. 3 oz. 29.5″ tall My goodness. I’ve been lifting a 20 pound weight for weeks now – I’m a strong mama! Today was Carrie’s 1 year checkup, and she checks out perfectly. She’s almost exactly (within 1/4 pound) tripled her birth-weight, which is exactly what they’re [...]

Vital stats: 39 weeks, 5 days old 18 lbs. 28.5″ tall Only one shot today, which wasn’t too traumatic. Gone are the days when vaccinations meant a whole day of napping – today after Carrie’s appointment she played with her cousins, went swimming and played some more. For once we didn’t have many questions for [...]
