Beach Babies

Caroline had her first big car trip Labor Day weekend. First, we went to Spring and stayed with GiGi and PawPaw and then we went down to Bay City to see Momo. We managed to get in a morning at the beach. I think the sound of the waves put Caroline to sleep.Abby enjoys her drumstick. Fried chicken is one of her new favorites!

Abby wasn't crazy about the sand and camped out on top of this icechest while Pops made things for her in it. She didn't like it on her hands. This was funny to us since she loves her sandbox at home.

"Ah, this is the life!"

Checking on baby sister.

Still not in the sand.

Finally, she decides to give it a try.

A Big Week

We had a big week at the Anderson house! Abby had her first day of school today. She goes two days a week from 9 to 2 at our church. Here is a picture of her getting ready to leave this morning. We have quite a lot to take each day as she eats lunch and naps there. Of course, Elmo gets to tag along. Abby's teacher said she had a super first day. "I don't know if I can carry all of this myself."

Also, Caroline had some big accomplishments. She is enjoying her Bumbo seat and she laughed for the first time yesterday. I was doing a little puppet show for her and she just chuckled. It was too cute!

She looks so grown up in her Bumbo.

Abby has fun showing things to Caroline when she is sitting up. She is such a little teacher. In the picture below, she is showing Caroline her animal puzzles and telling her what sounds they make.

Shake it Down

Abby dances to French music. This girl can boogy!

Hooray for Gymboree!

Nonnie and Pops treated Abby and me to a membership at Gymboree this summer and it has been a blast. Abby has had a ball at her weekly class and we also enjoy most of the free play days. It has been great for her coordination and motor skills.

Abby jumps on the trampoline.

Push!

Her favorite thing to do is sit on this air log and bounce. She also likes to beat on it.

Caroline's Sip and See

Nonnie hosted a party to celebrate Caroline's arrival and introduce her to friends. Thanks for all of your hard work Nonnie! We had fun!
Nonnie and Abby make the punch.
We got Caroline's Bubba to dress in pink (that was a first) and make pink drinks.

Bubba Time!

Doesn't get any sweeter than this!

The Star of the Party

Abby enjoys her cake.

Lots of friends came to see the princess. Thanks for coming everyone!

This is Lara, my flower girl, on the far right. Can you believe how much she has grown up?

Daddy, Pops and PawPaw were there to help supervise the girls. Good work behind the scenes, guys!

Sweet Tooth

Abby has her Daddy's sweet tooth. She got to taste powdered sugar while Nonnie baked for Caroline's sip and see. As you can see, it is right up there with mac and cheese.
