Caroline is Smiling

After what seems like an eternity the blog is finally being updated again...this time its something pretty special. Little Caroline, who's 11 weeks on Tuesday smiled at the webcam for the first time. If you skip to around the :55 second mark you can see where her father really started to try to get her to smile...sorry there's no sound

Her sister then walked in an after "seeing baby Caroline on the computer" decided she wanted to see Katherine on the computer. Its an interesting case study in how much more a two year old moves around....

Two sisters

The other day Katherine held her baby sister for the first time -- and it was all absolutely adorable....

You can see her mom in the first shot ready to grab Caroline at a moments notice...Katherine knew what she was doing though -- she's very good with baby "Caro-wine"

Its Raining!

Katherine discovered that its fun to run through the sprinkler on hot days....Although she does call is "rain!"

She also discovered its much more fun when dad gets wet too!

Caroline's First Bath

Caroline had her first bath yesterday. Her parents felt a bit neglectful since by now her sister had probably had 10 baths, but with the second you seem to realize that not everything you thought was very important is actually necessary to ensure their continued health and well being. That and her cord just fell off....

As you can see, she tolerated it like a champ. I'm sure she'll be very excited to see this picture in abut 30 years at her wedding (hpefully!!). Her father is certainly already excied to bring it out....

Katherine's Birthday Weekend

Katherine's Grandparents on her dad's side ("Emmie" and "Grand Pop" pronounced "gee-Pop!") visited this past weekend and we all celebrated Katherine's birthday together. She's been talking about having a "biiiiiig birthday cake" and how she's going to take a "biiiiiiiig bite" for about a month now, so of course there was cake and presents and lots of trips to the playground. So lets cut to the videotape....

Everyone also had quite a good time visiting with baby Caroline...
