Meredith one month

Not sure why this was posted out of order... Scroll down for the newer posts. 

Our sweet number three is such an angel baby. She never fusses, cries only when she's hungry, and gives us lots of smiles and coos.

Meredith lost some weight after her first week, so, unlike her sisters, I had to wake her every 2 hours to eat. We ended up pumping everything so we knew how much she was getting.

Caroline is two

Here are some links to the celebration we had about a week ago:

Here are some links to video we took on her birthday. We were potty training, and she had an allergic reaction rash to a virus, so she's not wearing much. She loves the potty baby. Thanks Deedee!

Caroline has been sick since thanksgiving, but still keeps us laughing. She is out of diapers and is out to win most adorable in her preschool class. She sings and dances all the time, loves building towers, and "baby dogs" (baby dolls). She still sucks her thumb and twirls other people's hair. We love our Caroline-O!

Meredith 4 months

Our sweet baby can find and hold her toes, and grab and play with toys. We'll try to start rice cereal sometime soon. Her sisters and Daddy have been really sick, but she managed to float on through without any harm!

Here are two links, showing the girls up on stage. It was pretty packed and difficult to get a good angle. When the camera moves it's because I was trying to watch it live, and not on a screen :)

Some new stuff

It's not quite her four month mark, but Meredith has grown so much in the last two weeks. She sleeps through the night now, 7 to 7. She sits up in the bumbo for long periods of time, tries her danged-est to suck her thumb, even though we try to keep her paci in. We think Caroline gets sick so much because of sucking her thumb. Meredith cries loudly right away when she doesn't get what she wants, not a lot of the faint "I'm pitiful" cry anymore. She talks all the time and smiles even more. She spins on her back, I never know which way she'll be facing when I get her from the crib. 

Meredith prefers sitting up or help standing. Whenever I sing the song "good morning" that we heard on the radio growing up, she is very quiet and gives me smiles as she turns her head shyly away. 

I know the newborn days are gone now. I already miss rocking her little body, feeling her soft head on my cheek, and just the sweetness of the first few months. I am really excited to see her grow up, but I'm savoring every step.
