New Museum

The Museum of Science and History just finished it's beautiful remodel and we were there for the opening weekend. The girls really enjoyed the Children's museum and the Planetarium (especially since Mr. Rogers visited the Planetarium this week). We decided to become members since there is so much to do there. We can't wait to go back!

Rolling over

Charlotte rolled over yesterday! It wasn't from her tummy to her back...she decided to be different and roll from her back to her tummy first. I'll have to keep my eye on this one!

Fall crafts

Zoo days

The weather has been nice this month, so we've been able to go to the zoo each week. We bring our lunch and just stay for a few hours, but it's enough to make each of us tired. They take turns getting to choose which animals we go see first. Madeline likes the lions and tigers, and Grace chooses the elephants or penguins, even though the favorite for both are the meerkats.

3 months

Charlotte is 3 months today! She is sleeping 5-6 hour stretches at night and is taking several naps throughout the day, when her loud sisters allow. She loves to have face-to-face time, and is quick to smile when she's talked to. She's trying to roll from her tummy to back, but isn't quite strong enough to make it yet...it won't be long!

Getting to know Grace

I love being Grace's mom. She is such a wonderful person. Some of her favorite activities include reading, playing with her dolls, being in charge of her CD player, swimming, trying new foods, helping me grocery shop, and getting together with friends. She also enjoys photography...
