Three Months Old!!

Caroline Jean- Three Months Old

Caroline just keeps getting more fun each day!!  She is such a smiley girl- she'll smile at anyone who takes the time to talk to her.  It's fun to have a baby that is so quick to show us how happy she is!  The boys continue to love on her and are extremely protective of her.  Henry gets upset if anyone teases about his baby.  We love watching her little personality grow and develop.  We love our little girl!

Her unofficial weight at 3 months is 12.6lbs.  Henry's unofficial weight was 14 1/2 lbs.  I don't have a weight for Tommy at 3 months.

What's Caroline up to at 3 months?

- She sleeps from 5pm- 7am most nights- occasionally she still wakes once around 6am to eat before falling back to sleep. 

- She eats 5 times during the day and is getting much faster at eating!

-She takes a short morning nap, a longer afternoon nap, and sometimes still a third cat nap.

- She wears size 2 diapers and 3-6 month clothes.

- She loves her activity gym and often lays under it for an hour or so. 

- She will laugh fairly easily for us now- it's cute to hear her little giggle and she is very ticklish!

- She still sleeps all swaddled up in her swaddle blanket and can't fall asleep without it.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Our Thanksgiving was a wonderful day spent with family and a needed opportunity to reflect on all of the many blessings that the Lord has given to us.  We are so very thankful!

Wednesday night we went to my parents for a pre-Thanksgiving celebration and a birthday celebration for Trevor.  Kristina, Dan, and baby Andrew stopped by for a little while and we were so glad that they did!  The size difference between Caroline and Andrew is amazing- it's only about 3 months and 3 pounds, but it makes a BIG difference!

The babies in the cradle.  This didn't last too long- Caroline kept kicking her cousin!

Caroline's first Thanksgiving!

 

Continuing with family traditions, the boys worked on their gingerbread houses after dinner.  Henry actually sat still and worked on his for about 15 minutes and Tommy was really into it this year.  It's always so funny to see how their attention span and abilities change from year to year while working on this project!

Henry

Busy

Thanksgiving afternoon was spent at Nathan's parent's house.  The boys also decorated gingerbread houses there.  Here's Tommy- busy working again!

Henry put about 10 candies on his house and ate about ten times that much!

Thanksgiving night we met up with my dad to go bowling.  We decided to chance taking Henry with and I'm so glad we did!  He had a great time until he got too tired at the end.  The boys had a bumper lane and had a wonderful time!

Yea!!  Henry was really good at cheering for everyone!

Tommy watching his ball.  He decided that he was the "bestest of us all!"

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Meeting Baby Andrew!

My sister, Kristina, and her husband, Dan, had their first baby on Sunday, November 20.  It's the kids' first cousin on the Plaisier side and they loved going up to the hospital to visit him.  He is absolutely adorable and we already love him to pieces!!

Checking him out!

 

Nathan and Dan with all of the Plaisier cousins!

I love how Caroline is looking at him in this picture- she looks like she isn't sure about her new cousin!

Precious Andrew Bennett!!  Welcome to the world!

Hail to the Victors

Tommy and Nathan went to the Michigan-Nebraska game last Saturday.  They had a great time and I'm not sure which one of them enjoyed it more!  Enjoy the pictures of my Wolverine fans!

Twelve Weeks Old

Last Wednesday Caroline turned 12 weeks old!  She is so much fun right now- we all adore her little personality . Here are some pics of her on her 84th day of life!

Trick-or-Treat!

Halloween evening was spent at church doing trunk or treat.  The boys loved running around and helping to pass out candy and Caroline liked all of the people watching!  When we got home from church we went door to door at a few neighbors' houses.  Henry loved it- he skipped from house to house and grabbed huge handfuls of candy.  It was a fun night!

Henry was so intrigued with the animals at trunk or treat.  He kept following the tortoise around its pen.
