Ahh!  No more pink eye, and the sinus infection is going away.  We're all back to good health (minus the cast), and we've had a great week!

Charlie's been trying to roll over.  He can get from his back nearly over to his tummy, but he gets hung up on his shoulder.  He continues to be a smiley guy.  He's also a great eater - he actually tricked us out of TWO bottles this evening at his 6pm feeding (I fed him 6oz at 5:45 while Andy was out.  When he came home and I was cooking dinner, Andy fed him ANOTHER 6oz at 6pm.  He later entered a food-induced coma!).

Carter's been a busy little bee, too.  She's perfecting lower-case letters at preschool, and she's really started using great manners lately!  Be checking you mailboxes - she's been working on "something special" for the people closest to our hearts! 



Ladies do love Charlie!!!



The attempted roll: so close, but yet so far!



Working on the sitting.  Thursday Charlie has his 4-month baby wellness check-up, and we'll get the go-ahead to start food.  To start food, he needs to be able to sit up at the table.  There's your motivation, Chubby Bunny: sit up for nanas!



Cheesin' around with my little Punky!



Quality snuggle time with Dad



Saturday Carter went to a friend's birthday party, so it was all Charlie, all morning! 



And he loved the attention!



Baby in a Basket!



"Hey guys!  I'm hiding in this basket!!!"



Snoozing (face down!) after a long morning of fun!

What a horrid problem to have:
Two beautifully photogenic and well-behaved children
and
Two amazingly talented photographer friends.

Check 'em out.  Carter's "Tutu's and Teddy Bears" pictures and Charlie's 3 month photos:

High lights of the week include Charlie becoming more vocal and wanting to be mobile, Carter improving her penmanship, Charlie and I getting pink eye and my battle with a nasty sinus infection.  Is it spring yet?!



Charlie so badly wants to get moving! 



 One proud little girl ...



 ... learning to make her lower-case letters.  We've got a ways to go, but her writing is so cute in that adorable, sweet little kid way!



Piggy pile!  Poor Charlie!



Smiles all around!



Daddy loves me.  So does Mommy.  And Carter.  And my grandparents.  And my daycare teachers.  And my uncles and aunts.  That's what you call lucky!



Cuties in caps! 



Despite having pink eye (left eye), Charlie has been smiley and happy all week. 

We've got a kiddo on the mend (Charlie had a yucky cough and runny nose this week), and a child on the downhill slide (Carter caught Charlie's yuck and got an ear infection).  So it's been a week of snuggles and lovin's!



Poor Charlie!  With two girls in the house and him still being little, he's subject to such great literary works as "Pinkalicious!"



Tuesday evening was Charlie's first time sitting at the dinner table!  He usually hangs out in his bouncer while we eat, but he's now able to sit with us (eating with us is still a couple weeks away).  He loved seeing all the action!



SO HAPPY!



BFF's, Little Brother and Big Cissy



Such a happy, sweet guy!
