Baby C's stats

Baby C had her 9 month well visit yesterday
She is 24 lbs + 31 1/2 inches
She is huge...95th percentile for weight + completely off the charts for height
She is so tall the Dr. asked the nurse to remeasure... twice! (yeah, we are thinking basketball scholarship :)
She is thinking about walking, but still very timid. Plus she scoots super fast.
She is quite a chatter box...mama, dada, baba, uh-oh, Hi!, Boo!, + GG (which sounds more like DeeDee)
Baby C is such a combo of her two big sisters + has her own little spark too.

A Little Visitor

Saturday night BP came running out of the playroom all in a dither because "something was in the tree house." (The tree house was BB's birthday gift from us this year + the girls love it.) We snuck into the playroom and perched in the fake branches of the tree was a little bird. A real bird! It was doing its best to remain still despite the 5 of us staring at it + the girls getting all excited by its presence. Barefoot Dad grabbed some gloves, scooped it up, + released it outside. We figured it must have flown inside earlier in the day when the girls were playing outside + had left the door open. We all laughed so hard that it had been hanging out in the tree all afternoon.

Home of the Week

This Boerum Hill beauty was featured in the NYT real estate section yesterday. I just happened to be reading that section on the way to Brooklyn yesterday + we just happened to be in the same neighborhood to get the girls haircuts, so we strolled over for the open house. 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, lots of sun-filled living space, garden views out the windows, great neighborhood, and totally affordable. It is nice to see a different kind of home with a different design style.

smitten

I am totally smitten with the idea of a claw foot shower! Genius... Plus I love the happy colors of this bathroom.

BB turns 3!!!

Our little spitfire turned 3 on Wednesday! She celebrated with her friends + teachers at school. Then the 5 of us had her favorite dinner (chicken w/ veggies) + cake together that night.

Halloween 2010

Snow White, Pochahontas, and Baby Giraffe

It was really cold here on Halloween. We saw rain and then snowflakes, but we tried to make the best of it. The girls made it about an hour before they got too cold and then ask to "trick or treat from the car." So we drove to Grace + Anna's Grandma and Grandpa's house and hung out there.

Grandma Ruth or "Lady Ruth" would be a better name. You will be missed by many!

I am praying I can do as good of a job being a mom to our three daughter as Ruth did with her three daughters.

I hope she gives us guidance + strength from above...especially during the teenage years :)
