I'll Share with Freddie... Sort of...

We're not sure what it's going to be like when Emily actually has to share her stuff with Freddie...

Sisters...

Just a couple of cute pictures we took recently of Freddie and Emily.

Little Ballerina

Emily started dance class last week. She loves it! She does 15 minutes of tap, 15 minutes of ballet and 30 minutes of gymnastics. She really loves the fact that her BFF is also in the class. She is definitely the youngest in the class, but she is getting better each time.

My cute little ladies...

I love these girls!

Herding Cats...

Jenn and I both went to work a little later this past Tuesday so that we could watch Emily's class sing in chapel at her school. As it turns out, this was the first time that this age group has gotten that privilege. It didn't quite go like we had planned. In spite of Emily's great singing skills at home, she chose to frown and mope through most of the song. We still got some cute pictures of her though...

Swimming Galore

We had a lot going on in this week's swim lesson day. Emily is getting further into her float test. Last night she was thrown into the middle of the pool and had to either float for 5 minutes or get to the side and stand up (she was thrown in by that colored structure). She floated for about 2-3 minutes and managed to get to the side (she is that litle pink blob in the first pic). She had to do this with her sandals, shorts and tshirt on as well. Next week she goes in with the same attire except pants instead of shorts. It is really cute because all of the teachers stop and cheer complete with cowbells. Last night was also Freddie's first swim lesson. She liked it....for the first 10 minutes. The next ten minutes were not as thrilling. To her credit, she was really tired because she did not nap most of the day. We think she'll be a water bug in no time.

Four Month Checkup

Freddie had her four month checkup today. She is doing really well. She weighs 15 pounds and 6 ounces putting her around the 85th percentile. She is 25 inches long (75th percentile). We compared her growth to Emily's and they are almost identical. Looks like Granddaddy's nickname for Freddie is true - Pudge! We have no explanation for the sudden outbursts of crying she has every once in a while, but we're still looking for a pattern. It may have something to do with times like today when she is annoyed that she hasn't gone #2 in two days. TMI? You're reading a blog about kids. Get over it:)
