Caroline had a playdate with her friends Bridget and Lillie Burke this morning.
Bridget and LB are a little easier to photograph given the fact that they can sit up!
And Miss C - I love this little dress - it's on loan from Wells' friends Tyler & Harper. She is a lucky girl to have an older brother with fashionable friends :)
Anyone who's been around Wells lately knows how much he LOVES to wear his pajamas. A bit strange - I don't get it - but I think this is something he gets from his dad (who also often chooses comfort over style). Wells will fight you when getting dressed in the morning - he does NOT want to change into regular clothes and only wants to wear his PJs (which are often mis-matched). And when he gets home from school he immediately wants to change back into his PJs for his nap.
So I was really excited when I saw that Chick Fil A was giving away free breakfast for dinner if you wore your PJs. Wells was in heaven - PJs on at 5pm and eating Chick Fil A with his friend Carter:
Weigh 9 lbs and 15 oz (over 2 lbs more than when you were born!) and are in the 47th percentile for weight Are 21 inches long and in the 20th percentile for height Have a head circumference of 36.5 cm (36th percentile)
You were VERY sleepy for the first two weeks of your life but have "woken up" some. You are still such a good sleeper and give us 4, 5, sometimes even 6 hours of straight sleep at night. After the first few days we brought you home, we moved you to your crib at night and you seem to like it there. You didn't like your bath at first but are starting to enjoy it more.
You eat about 4 ounces at a time, sometimes up to 7 oz during a growth spurt period.
You sometimes cry, but only during certain hours at night -usually between 7 and 10pm. You are an angel all day long - that time of night just does not seem to agree with you quite yet. You LOVE to "sleep in" in the morning - you are the best sleeper from 6 am to 10 am. You get this from your mom and we cuddle almost any time we have the luxury of sleeping in together.
Your dad and I love every square inch of you and are so enjoying watching you grow!!
Someone special is celebrating a BIG birthday today. We are so sad we weren't able to make his celebration over the weekend...so Wells decided to have a little celebration of his own at home in honor of his Poppy.
To Wells, there's no birthday without a treat (had to convince him that cookies were ok substitutes for cupcakes since we didn't have cupcakes in the house)
One of my best friends, Lauren, came to visit this weekend. I love her sweet little Liza so much (she's just a few months younger than Wells) and got to meet her newest little man, Charlie, who is 6 weeks older than Caroline.
Here they are with their respective future spouses:
Perfect little match set #1, Liza (2.5) and Wells (almost 3):
I could eat her up in her ruffled Tory Burch polo :)
Match set #2 , Caroline (4 weeks) and Charlie (10 weeks):
A little difficult to get a picture of two babies sitting up when there's no neck control (and one is sound asleep).
I always ask Wells if he needs help taking the paper off his cupcakes and he says no. I'm beginning to catch on to his cupcake eating strategy: why even bother with the cake portion when there's ICING to enjoy?!?
Here's W at his classmate Owen's birthday party on Saturday. I have to agree with him - it doesn't get much better than icing!
Today was my first day out by myself with both kids! And I made it! I got Wells to and from school and made it to my bible study with baby Caroline. I'll look back in 6 months and think this was no big deal, but today it seemed like a major feat.
And this afternoon, Wells had his first soccer practice for the spring season:
"Airplane" drills with Coach Matt - Wells is on the right in the blue sweatshirt (He's made major improvements with his listening skills/ability to follow directions since we did this last fall!).
Kicking it in
Score!
Meanwhile, Caroline is 2 weeks old today and we could not ask for a better baby. She continues to do what she does best: sleeping, eating, and swinging:
