Teddy Bear Thursday - 18 Weeks

Eighteen weeks (4 months). Katie is now 25.5 inches and 14 lbs 11 oz. She is now sitting up on her own with very little assistance. She is starting to grab at everything and she can drool with the best of them. Watch out world, here I come.

Austin is 29 months and growing like a weed. He is 37.5 inches and 32 lbs. His imagination is really coming alive and it is so fun to watch him play. Right now he is loving cars and animals, Diego, UmiZoomi and the Wii. He is recognizing more and more letters and can write an A on his own. He can count to 10 and likes to practice this by playing hide and seek. He is very competitive when it comes to games, even if it is just reaching the top of the stairs first.

Above, first day of MDO. He is going to school two days a week this year.

Teddy Bear Thursday - 17 Weeks & 29 Months

Seventeen weeks. We are having so much fun watching Katie discover her world. She was officially introduced to bubbles this week and loves them. She is sitting in a highchair at dinner so she can be a part of family time and enjoys playing with toys while we eat. She is starting to laugh, usually at Austin. She loves her Big Brother. Katie and Austin sometimes take baths together. She is trying to sit up on her own, only lasts about 3 seconds before she comes crashing down.

Austin wanted to join in the fun. Here he is at twenty-nine months. Notice he is now wearing Katie's headband. It blends right into his hair, but if you look closely you can see it.

Katie laughing at Austin for the first time. Listen carefully and you can hear her. I tried to get her face on the second round. Too cute!

Teddy Bear Thursday - 15 Weeks

Fifteen weeks. Our sweet baby girl is getting so big. She loves her toes and tongue right now. She is really tuned in to her big brother and puppy and loves to watch them play and move around. She is interested in music, lights and color. It is so awesome to watch her learn more everyday.

Teddy Bear Thursday - 14 Weeks

Fourteen weeks, kind of. It must be the heat that made me forget. We did not get an official teddy bear picture for week fourteen. This is the closest thing we've got.
