Madeline is 6 Months Old

Our sweet little Madeline is now six months old and she took a few great pictures for us. On November 25 she made her first real attempt at crawling and moved her body forward two times in a row and today she went from a crawling position to a sitting position all on her own and even managed to sit up for about 5 seconds before falling straight back. It was a joy to behold!! I can't believe how fast she is growing.

Our Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

On Sunday it was finally nice enough to make our annual trip to Hall's Pumpkin Patch. It's rained a lot this fall so we were waiting for a few days of sunshine to take the girls. Caitlin had a great time while Madeline had no idea what to make of it.

Caitlin's 4 year check up

Who can believe that Caitlin is 4 years old, attending preschool and growing like crazy? Everyday she has new talents!! She loves to sing, dance and do any kind of art project. Here are her growth records from her 4 year check up in July:
49 lbs, that puts her in the greater than 97% group
43.75 inches, that also puts her in the greater than 97% group!
She takes after her Daddy!!

Caitlin's Summer

Our sweet Caitlin has had a busy summer:

In May she became a Big Sister to our little Madeline and has been better at it then I ever could have hoped for! She helps with diaper changes, fetching things for Mommy while I am nursing and she loves to help cheer up Maddie by making crazy faces at her. Her favorite thing is to see her baby sister smile at her. It is one of the best parts of my day to see my two little ones smiling at each other.

In June she learned that the Summer Camp she was attending at our neighborhood preschool would close for the summer due to low attendance, but that it would be back in the fall. She was so sad, as we had both come to be very found of Ms Sara. Caitlin was so excited to attend everyday, see her friends and tell me what she had learned. I was looking forward to knowing that Caitlin would have some time with kids her own age while we were adjusting to having a baby around the house, but life changes and we change with it. I enrolled Caitlin in a Toddler Hip Hop class at her Ballet School, she loved it! She was not great at it, but she gave it her all and had a great time doing it.

Last week we learned that Ms Sara was going to move out of state and that we would need to find a new preschool for the upcoming school year. I spent a good junk of the weekend researching other schools in our area and finally found one. It starts in Sept and Caitlin is thrilled that her friend Brianna will be attending with her, that there is a large playground AND that the four year old class room is purple!

In July our little baby became a Big Girl; she turned 4! She got a bike and had her party at Chuck E Cheese's! Her favorite gifts were her bike from Mommy and Daddy and her Leapster2 from her Godfather Mike. We were so lucky to have her close friends celebrate with us. Jamie, Ryan and Daddy scored her all kinds of tickets from all the games and she got so many wonderful gifts from everyone! Thanks again to everyone who came. She is still talking about her party.

Caitlin also got to attend the Dora the Explorer Live show! We had a big girl day out with Avery and her Mom and Sofia and her Mom. The six of us went out to lunch and then out to the show. It was a great day for the girls and the Mommies!

Baby Weber is Born

Madeline Michelle Weber joined us on May 20 at 7:16 am. She was 7lbs, 14 oz and 20.25inches. We are all doing well and are adjusting to life with little sleep. Caitlin loves being a Big Sister and is a big help with diaper changes and pacifiers.

Dance Photos

Tuesday was photo day for dance class but I managed to sneak in a few pictures of my own while the girls were dancing. Caitlin loved wearing her special dress and makeup, even though she wasn't thrilled with having her hair curled.
