Picking Peaches

On Monday Caroline picked peaches for the first time and had a blast! Caroline, Daniel and I went with my mom, sister and nieces.

The drive out there wasn't too much fun (fortunately it wasn't too far a ride, just off Faulkner Lake Rd in NLR) b/c Daniel screamed practically the whole way. On the way home, it was Caroline's turn to cry and Daniel just sat there quietly. So far they are really good at taking turns! ha

Caroline did a good job picking the peaches: off the trees AND off the ground!

We picked TONS of peaches!!! I don't know how many pounds, but it was enough to basically fill up an icechest. The only problem is that Caroline keeps getting into the icechest and pulling the peaches out! Last night she pulled one out and had brought it into the living room and was saying "wet! wet!", b/c she had squeezed it and juice was everywhere! (Fortunately mama was still at work so daddy got to clean up that mess!)

Even Daniel had a good time picking peaches!

Daniel's 4 month check up

Daniel is definitely a growing boy! We took him on Friday for his 4 month checkup. He weighed in at 15 pounds, 12 ounces, which put him in the 75th percentile.

He was 25" long, the 55th percentile. Believe it or not, he has a small head. He was only in the 25th percentile for that. He can now start solids. Something tells me that he will not have any problems with that! He is such a sweet, good-natured baby (I know that all parents say that, but I promise he really is!) and is starting to sleep better at night.

Paw Paw's Little Angels

Anyone who knows my dad knows how in love he is with all his grandkids. He is not just any Paw Paw...he changes diapers, dresses the kids, takes them to school, makes bottles, feeds lunches, he does it all. (Of course Mimi does it all, too!) I have an enormous amount of respect for my dad and he has so much to be proud of, but anyone who knows him will tell you that he is most proud of his family. I love you daddy!!

As everyone knows, Patrick and I are fortunate to have my parents watch our babies for us while we work. My mom and dad are so good to call and give me updates on the kids throughout the day, and my dad will e-mail me updates and pictures as well. I get so excited when I see his e-mail address pop up in my inbox!!!

Today my dad sent me an e-mail entitled "Paw's Paw's Little Angels" with this picture attached:

Look how big Daniel looks!!! He goes for his 4 month checkup tomorrow. I can't wait to see how much he's grown! Nice hair Caroline :)

This picture was taken yesterday. Apparently Caroline found this old Mickey Mouse hat that was either mine or my sister's from when we went to Disney World as kids, and thought that Daniel might like it! Looking at the picture, I think he did like it!
