Goofy Girls

It is very hard being away from my girlies during the day while Im at work. I think of them all day, look at pictures of them, check in to see how they are, etc. Carley is such an awesome nanny and has so much fun with my girls, I find alot of solace in this. One of the things I love is finding pictures on my camera that Carley has snapped during the week. Below are two silly shots of them wearing Cecily's 3D glasses (leftover from when she went and saw 'Despicable Me' with Carley last summer)

Almost Crawling

Piper turned 7 months old today! She is really starting to try to crawl. She has been scooting backwards for some time now but now she is making some advancements forward. Especially if she has motivation.
Her rolling has picked up some real speed and often she will just roll from one place to another to get where and what she wants.
Teething-no teeth yet to be seen though. I feel awful for her because it is obviously causing her some discomfort. She likes to chew on a frozen washcloth.
Sleeping-in our bed. *sigh* Working on this.

Valentine's Day Crafts

Tahoe

Tahoe was lots of fun this year (as always). We stayed at the Newman cabin in Homewood, got a couple of days skiing/boarding in, and hung out a couple of days at Northstar. The girls got to go skating (and so did I and ended up with a seriously bruised bum). Cecily also took a couple of lessons and loved skiing again. She even rode the lift! Piper didnt get to play in the snow much, but enjoyed being up with all the girls. Carley came up with us which made things so nice, we were able to relax and enjoy ourselves. Too bad we cant visit Tahoe in the winter more often!

Daddies can do facepainting too!

6 months old

My little lovebug is 6 months old! Pictures below taken at Cara's baby shower a few days after Piper turned the big 1/2.

At her 6 month appt she weighed 17#, 13 oz. Was 26 1/2 inches long and checked out perfectly. She can sit like a pro, is pushing up on all 4s, but still not rolling all that much.

Her favorite things: Sleeping with mommy, nursing, eating bananas, laughing at Luca, watching everything her sister does, upbeat music, chewing on her fingers (where's those teeth?) and playing peek a boo. She is a very happy baby!

Bouncy Baby

Piper- 5 months old

Our little sweetheart is 5 months old today! She is sitting on her own now (started around Christmas Eve). She loves to play with her toys, especially in her exersaucer. She is teething, but no pearly white has popped through yet. She is a snuggly little girl and prefers to be held that not (what baby doesnt?) She has tried bananas and LOVES them. We'll start other foods soon. She smiles all the time and laughs out loud, mostly at Cecily and her antics.

Sitting on her own!
