Three months have passed and now Erin starts daycare and Heather goes back to work. Most of the time Erin is a joy, sleeping or awake. There's still a fussy period in the evening, and the only way she sleeps at times is propped up next to Heather. But during the day she's usually content to watch the world in front of her, and last week she started cooing at Mom & Dad. Heather's going to miss her daytimes with Erin!
In January we went to NY to see Lyla, Brad, and pregnant Katy.
Lyla showed off her dance moves to Caroline
The lake wasn't skateable, but the ice was hard enough to drag Lyla around. Caroline again was too scared of the slippely ice.
Back at home, Erin spends a lot of time in the bouncy seat
Caroline's nighttime lovies keep expanding. Initially it was just Tigger and one blankie. Then one day she found the backup blankie and had to have it, too. Elmo and Big Baby Doll joined on at Christmas. And just this week the two Curious George books became mandatory. The board books can't be comfortable to sleep on, but every time we take them out of the bed she brings them back in.
Heather's been able to see Mira's son Nick and Lori's twins. Here are the quadruplets all in one crib.
Heather found that playing Guitar Hero soothed Nick and Erin.
Another Sunday night and time to make Caroline's lunch. What toddler doesn't love a ham hock? Actually, Brad kindly gave us this country ham to satisfy one of Heather's Southern cravings. We cooked it up with biscuits and green beans and it was delicious, but Caroline wasn't keen to try it.
Caroline wanted to hold baby ErinWe don't know how long this cooing phase will last, so we wanted to catch it on film. Caroline never did it all.
Finally, here's a video of Caroline "helping" us fold laundry
