Caraline is three months old! I have washed and packed away most of the 0-3 month clothes and washed and folded into drawers all the 3-6 month clothes this week. It is a little bittersweet transition that I enjoy. I am happy that she is healthy and growing like a weed, but a little sad to see some of the sweet outfits be put away for another day... someday... maybe... the jury is still out. I love getting out the next batch of clothes and reminising about the last time I saw them on Ellasyn and I look forward to seeing CK wear my favorites.
Caraline is such a precious little chunk. She is very compliant and easy going. When she does get upset, it is the funniest little squawk of a cry. Unless she is starving and I lay her down to change her diaper first. Then, she can really belt it out. She isn't on much of schedule, if at all. I blame that on our every day is different weekly schedule. She sleeps when and where she can. If we are home... Monday, Friday and Saturdays usually... she can sleep for 2 - 3 hours at a time if she isn't interrupted. Otherwise it is usually 20 minutes here 45 minutes there.
She loves to laugh! It is hilarious and cracks me up every time. You never know what will set her off. And if you try again to get someone else to hear it, it never works. She loves to listen to her sister's jibberish and gives her the most smiles I think. Ellasyn doesn't usually speak actual words to her. She just makes funny noises, growls or screeches at her. Somehow, I think CK knows exactely what she means. They are going to be quite the pair someday. Too soon.
We are starting to get in a groove around here. Our weekly schedule is somewhat regular and I think that I may have perfected (not really, but liveable) our morning routines. That is IF I get up when my alarm goes off and get going. Ethan does not have football in the morning and is a huge help with Ellasyn.
Ellasyn is really loving Mrs. Talley's three year old class. She is in the same class as her cousin Belle. They work on one letter a week. She is great at the "What letter does ______ start with?" game. We play a lot in the car. We go through most of our friends names, favorite characters and toys, etc. My favorite is when she gets carried away and says, for example, "Buh, buh, buh, Car! Car starts with B!!" We are still practicing. :)
