Sweet Sisters!

Carolyn continues to just absolutely adore Jocelyn. She can't stand to not be near her and although Jocelyn gets annoyed at all the touching, she loves to look at Carolyn and often smiles at her. Jocelyn has been giving us some great big smiles for well over a week now, which is so fun, but we've yet to capture very well on camera!

Almost One Month!

It's hard to believe it's been almost a month since we added a second baby girl to our family (although sometimes it feels much longer!!). We've been busy and things seem to be "settling" a little better. Diane was blessed to have a week of help from each of our moms and meals and support from friends. Here's some pictures of what we've been up to.....



Carolyn is attending two weeks of our "town camp" for pre-k kids. She goes to the park each morning from 9-12 where they play at the playground, do arts and crafts and have visitors (fire dept, service dogs, etc) come in to meet the kids. Carolyn sings each morning on the way to camp about how much fun it is! She takes a lemonade and fruit snack each day and is thrilled to go. I'm so pleased!



Carolyn keeps busy at home too. She loves to play play-doh and makes lots of shapes with cookie cutters! She played with her play-doh for almost 2 hours this day!

Carolyn is ALWAYS looking for a project to do! While Nana was here with us, she suggested that Carolyn go on a nature hunt to find things to make a collage about nature. Carolyn had a wonderful time looking for things and glueing them on with Nana - what a great project!


Carolyn loves to hang up all of her projects and pictures on her wall in her room. One day she said to Zach and I "let's see who has the most beautiful room in this house?" She walked around and then decided that it was her room! She is so proud of all her work! Mom wonders when we will run out of wall space!!


Carolyn continues to just absolutely adore Jocelyn. The first thing she says each morning when she gets up is "where's Joeclyn?" She loves to sit while I feed Jocelyn and play with her hands and feet. I feel so blessed with how well Carolyn has adjusted to her little sister and love to watch them together already. It will be so special to watch them grow up together!


Jocelyn had her first bath and didn't enjoy it very much! She cried and cried - but the next week she was calm and seemed to enjoy her bath a little bit more!


Jocelyn doesn't like to lay flat down, but will sit contently if we prop her up a bit with a pillow! She likes her seat better than being flat on her back and already seems interested in looking at things around her. :)

Jocelyn had her one month check up and is growing well - she was up to 8 lbs,6 oz and grew an inch (although we all now how accurate measuring a squirming infant is!). She goes back to the doctor in September for her 2 month check up.
