March FUN

I feel like we are trying to be home a lot and just together.  We try hard to soak up daily life and our kids being little knowing how fast it is going but the months just go by so quickly.  With the birthdays in full swing and gearing up for a couple more and spring break March flew by! But not without lots of sweet memories. 

These two could melt anyone.  

Claire spend an entire day making an art gallery. 

The best part of story time at the library is chewing on all the dirty toys. 

And seeing the fish. 

Claire has been playing her violin a lot.  Pop Pop got it all fixed for her. 

Bedtime can be wild and crazy but it can also be quiet and sweet. 

We went on a big girl date with some friends to dinner and to see Beauty and the Beast. 

The little girls and I are happy to be able to get back outside. 

Caroline is super helpful during bath time when she isn't in the tub with her sisters. 

Wacky Wednesday in Kindergarten was for sure a favorite for Claire. 

Audrey swaddled up her baby and uses her finger as a passie...the true sign of a big sister. 

Best seat in the house. 

Claire got invited to an ice cream party with some friends and her teachers. 

11 Months Old

Our baby is 11 months old in what feels like the blink of an eye.  We can not imagine our family without her.  To say she is adored by her sisters is not enough.  It is amazing how much she is like Claire was as a baby.  We joke that it is like we have had this baby before.  She is clam, sweet, silly, and overall just an easy baby to be around.  She has 8 teeth, could give or take food, hates bottles, is standing and cursing around holding on to furniture, can clap, and wave, but our favorite is blowing kisses.  We joke about being the poor 4th baby and there is plenty that would never have happened with the first (like the fact that she fell off the couch TWICE today) but what a lucky little lady.  So loved, so happy, and simply perfect for our family! 

The photo shoot for the first birthday invitation was the same as the 3 big girls.  

She is always moving...making most pictures blurry. 

She is pretty proud of herself when she walks! 

She can find me in seconds when I leave the room! 

She has figured out the tower

and dress up!

I still can't resist a sleeping baby...those cheeks! 

She can destroy an uno game in seconds. 

You never know where you might find her. 

She has officially realized that Audrey is in the room with her.  Audrey wakes up to her standing and staring at her everyday.  She just quietly stands there but squeals when Audrey first starts moving. 

She can find a bowl of popcorn (the one true no no food wise) anywhere! 

Always just along for the ride.

She is SO busy! 

She loves her car and being outside. 

Claire's Daddy Date

Birthday dates are one of the best parts of birthdays at our house.  Claire wanted to do something she had never done this year so Neil decided on fondue. 

My wedding tiara is always worn and the amount of jealously it brings the other sisters on that day hits an all time high! 

She was sure she needed a few more pictures before they left...

Fondue was a hit!
