Our Little Cupcake and Sweet Caroline

Growing Up Fast

Can you believe our sweet Caroline is drinking from a sippy cup now? I think it feels good to her gums and she loves the water. She has two bottom teeth that have finally come through and I feel two on the top.

Field Trip to Fort Worth

Woohoo! Saturday the metroplex finally thawed out and we were dying to go somewhere for some fun. We headed to the Fort Worth Children's Museum. It was also the last weekend for the stock show so we took advantage of all the events and looked at the animals and shopping booths while we were there.

Caroline was happy to roll around in her stroller and look at everything. She loved these taillights at the stockshow.

Abby checks out the chicks. She walked around with her hand on her nose saying "stinky" the whole time we looked at the animals. She wasn't a fan.

Running through the crocodile mouth at the museum. She had so much fun running around after being cooped up all week.

Here come Caroline and Daddy!

Abby absolutely loved this pretend grocery store. I guess it was hit hard before the winter storm. The shelves were bare. The kids were really moving the food from cart to cart instead of reshelving any of it.

Going through the line. Another kid was ringing up her food.

Pretending in the hospital

Watch out! Ambulance coming through.

Cabin Fever

After four days of being snowed in last week, we had cabin fever! Here are some pics of the girls during our days at home. This is the first day with no power for about 6 hours. It got pretty cold. Luckily, we had lots of firewood and Brent kept a big fire going.

Abby played in her little house (the transformed mudroom) quite a bit.

I have never pretended to eat more plastic food in all my life than I did during this snowstorm.

Curling up with a good book.

Caroline has storytime with PawPaw. She is really interacting with the peek-a-boo books now.

It was nice to have GiGi and PawPaw stuck here with us. They entertained the girls. GiGi had her share of plastic food too. Paw Paw figured out Caroline loves to "ride a little pony."

When the roads were finally clearing up, we headed to Nonnie and Pops. Abby is looking at the remnants of the snowmen Nonnie and Pops built. A baby for Caroline and a big one for Abby. The day before, when they were dressed and hadn't melted, Abby was a stinker and wouldn't let me get her picture with them.

Singing and Dancing

Abby and Caroline are both chatter boxes these days and Abby sings constantly. I tried to get some of it on camera and had some luck getting Abby's singing. Stay tuned for Caroline's baby talk. Everytime I got the camera, she was all talked out.

Abby takes care of her babies all day. Here she is singing Rock a Bye Baby.

Abby dances to Barney. She has so much energy. As you can see, Little Caroline does too! I'm in trouble.

Everytime she works her alphabet train puzzle she sings the ABC song. I had to coax her to do it this time because the camera was on.
