Fun Times / Cara's 2nd Week

Life in our house has been pretty busy. The Wade's came over last weekend for some fun.

We're hoping this is as close as Lauren and Nick get to kissing. We'll be keeping a close eye on these two in another 10 years.

Harris loves to show his chest off - I'm hoping he doesn't do this for a living later on.

Miss Cara in her bouncer. She looks so small.

Funny Harris. It wasn't nearly as funny when he started dumping water outside the tub.

We were blessed with awesome weather this week, so we took advantage of it as much as possible. With Nick driving, I'm thinking Harris is the one that needs the helmet.

The boys' new love is baseball. They're both terrible at hitting and catching, but they have a blast trying. GO NICK!

Nana showed Harris how to hit the ball.

Each of the boys had a Valentine's Day party at school. Since I'm not working, I got to go be a mom and help out.

Of course, I also stole some of the good candy from them too.

Harris really is irresistible - look at those chubby cheeks.

And of course flashing his boobies again.
Getting two children to pose for pictures is difficult - three is a nightmare. After about 15 pictures, I just gave up. At least they're all in one chair.

Cara's first Valentine's Day. She celebrated by sleeping.

She looked so cute, but she just wasn't into getting her picture taken.

Sunday took a cold turn, so I bundled her up like a snow bunny.

Chris and I can't believe how much she's grown and changed in the past two weeks.

Her umbilical cord fell off, and she got to take her first REAL bath. She didn't scream bloody murder, so we took that as a good sign.

Cara had her two week check up on 2/16. Wow, she's grown! Last time she weighed 7 lbs 9 1/2 oz. Ten days later, she weighs 8 lbs 6 1/2 oz. I guess she won't be our "little" girl much longer. She's also grown an inch since our last visit. The doctor says she's perfect (we already knew that). Her jaundice is completely gone, and he doesn't think her belly button will be herniated like her big brothers. That's really good news. It's still odd to have a girl after two boys. She doesn't cry much, but sometimes she'll let out this ear piercing screech like someone is hurting her. Usually, she's gotten herself unswaddled or lost her pacifier. The boys NEVER made a sound that high pitched though. YIKES! She's still a wonderful baby. Chris and I have decided that God knows that parents of multiple young children can only handle so much. She must have known too because she's the easiest one of the three.

We couldn't have a week without Nick doing something well - Nick. He's gotten really good at dressing himself. I don't let him pick out his own clothes all by himself yet though. Check out his pajama choice. A shirt about 2 sizes too small and shorts that should have been put away a year ago.

But that's not as funny as this. Both my boys are going to grow up to be strippers. God help me!
