Day 31

Laurie Jane and her daddy playing at the park. She is an adventurous girl and there were lots of big kids. This was the only way for Wade to keep up with her.

Day 30

The high chair is one of the best places for the girls to interact. Caroline is at Katherine's level. Katherine loves to make silly noises and nonsense words and she can get Caroline laughing and smiling so fast.

Day 29

Here is Caroline at her 6 month well visit that ended up being a sick visit too. It seems that she has a small ear infection. I like the photo with the reflection, especially since it shows her hair messed up in the back (if you look closely).

Day 28

Today Katherine and I played with a number puzzle. I bought it at a consignment sale in September but kind of forgot about it. She enjoyed it.

Day 27

Caroline does not get a lot of play time in her crib. She sleeps there at night and some naps. I put her in there sitting while helping Katherine in her bathroom. She loved the mobile over her crib. It does not match at all. As you will notice the colors are avocado green, mustard yellow and orange, the prime colors of the 70's. But, it was my mobile in the 70's so I love it for nostalgia's sake.

Day 26

Today's photos are courtesy of a guest photographer - Katherine. She loves to get our camera and take photos. It is so big that she usually gets the ground. She has a hard time looking through the view finder to see what she is shooting. She is getting better though and this first shot is actually pretty good. Lest you think she is a prodigy though, here are some of her other photos. There were actually about 15 of a headless Caroline.

Day 25

How are you doing on your resolutions? I am having mixed results. Sam and I are doing much better at keeping up with our budget. I want to get in better shape (typical I know). I bought a pair of running shoes and a Nike + ipod "system". Sam's bike and the trailer are getting a tune up and I even signed up for a Jazzercise membership.

I am failing in one area. Cutting out soft drinks. I knew not to try to cut them out completely but was going to just have a Dr. Pepper when I ate something like burgers or pizza. I crave not the caffeine though I do enjoy that. I crave the carbonation. I have tried to find something carbonated that is not as bad for me but I have not. I went to the grocery store this weekend and before I left I was considering just buying a 2-liter so that at least if I was going to have a soft drink it would be at grocery store, not Sonic prices. I walked into Albertson's and their front display was the promotional football shaped Dr. Pepper bottles on sale - 3 for $1. Usually the ones this size are over a dollar each. So, I came home with a box. Bad Christy.
