Highlights & Milestones

AHHH, vacation I can almost feel it! 3 more days until its toes in the sand for a week at the beach!

Busy busy busy packing, errands, and kids but life is good and vacation will be great!

A few highlights and milestones from the past few days....

Caroline's new thing is roller derby-yes-I mean it, she's a crazy roller and fast I tell you, fast! She can get in her crawling position, hop, scoot and leap to get there, but forget it-rolling gets you there faster! Then plop-she's up in a sitting position and happy as a clam!

She also learned 'the itsy bitsy spider' this week---precious!!! She does her little fingers and just studies and her favorite part is 'out came the sun and dried up all the rain'....oh that girl has my heart! So Sweet!!!

Also on the list-recognizing animals and making the sound-her fav-the duck! Nothing really comes out but she makes her mouth move just like mine as I say quack quack quack. And whenever she hears the word or sees a duck she makes that cute as a button mouth movement! She's getting pretty good at moo and woof too! And she loves a fishy face-makes her just squeal!


Now onto Out of the Mouth of Claire...

~'Mommy, when I get tall (that means big to her) can you get me a jewelry box so when you let me get my ears {fierced} I can keep them in it?'

~She picked a huge plastic yellow ring out of a treasure box at the doc office, looks at me and says, 'oh mom, I prayed for a ring when I was in my bed last night!'

~jewelry on-check, sunglasses on-check, my purse on her arm and my flip flops on her feet-check... 'ok, I'm going to my meeting at church with my church friends, go to bed good for daddy and I'll tuck you in when I get home!'

~'oh I cant wait to get to the beach...it's Carolines first time-she's going to love it! But mom-she went last year-you know in your belly!'

~from the backseat of the car-'mom, Caroline and I are holding hands...she's my best friend!'
