Too cool

Ashlyn and daddy with their shades on.

Laundry!

Sometimes when I do laundry it's just so much easier to put the baby in the basket and carry the whole load upstairs to be put away. As you can see it's not my first rodeo! :)

Ashlyn at 3 months and Kaelyn at 4 months.

K vs. 8

One of her favorite toys is Mr. Octopus

 

Nibbles

Kaelyn sure likes to nibble on things lately.

4 months old!

Our little sweetheart is four months old! Kaelyn starting giggling about a week ago and really likes to nibble on her fingers, toys or pretty much anything she can get a hold of!  She's still sleeping great, bedtime is about 9pm - wakes up around 5am to eat quick - then back to sleep till 9am. It's great! She's growing like crazy, she just started wearing 9 month clothes last week and had her 4 month check up on Tuesday morning with Dr Knudson. He said she looked great! She got two shots and one oral vaccine. She cried a little but got over it pretty quickly. She slept most of the afternoon yesterday and seemed a little sore/cranky last night & this morning but a little acetaminophen helped her feel a little better.

Her stats:

25 1/2 inches tall - 90%

16lbs 9oz - 96%

Look at me grow!

4 days old 

4 months

 

Tummy Time

Kaelyn likes to look at herself in the mirror. Can you blame her? She's a cutie!

 

St Patrick's Day parade

We went to the St Patrick's Day parade with Ashlyn's little friend Vivian and her mom and sister. The girls had fun collecting candy and dancing to the music.

Kaelyn even enjoyed watching the parade.

Farm Show

I took the girls to the farm show in New Ulm last Sunday after I picked them up from an overnight stay at Grandma Deb's house. Ashlyn liked the equipment the animals :)

Silly Girls

Spring really can't get here soon enough.... the girls are getting a little silly being stuck inside all day :)

Joe wasn't so sure I should post this but I thought it was funny, hopefully you think so too!

Carrot Cake

As I've mentioned before, Ashlyn loves to bake... especially cake! A few days ago she helped me make a carrot cake and it was delicious!

 

Smiley

Kaelyn is one happy baby! She smiles for us all the time and we can't get enough of it!

 

Vacation!

Joe and I were lucky enough to go on vacation with our friends Jeff and Chandra for a week down in the Bahamas Febuary 16th - 24th. We stayed at RIU on Paradise Island and it was wonderful! Everything went great. Our flights were on time, weather was awesome and food and drinks were plentiful! The girls got to split the week at each grandmas house so they got their own little vacation too!  I would have posted this sooner but Ashlyn was pretty sick the week we got home, then Kaelyn was a little under the weather. Poor things, it was our first illness of the winter so I guess I can't complain too much :)

First night out at Senior Frogs

Third night we ate at my restaurant -"Krystal" ;)

Two studs on the beach

Before we went up para sailing for the first time.

Forth night we ate at Twin Brothers down at the Fish Fry.

We're both a little sunburned!

Joe and Jeff on their deep sea fishing excursion

The one and only fish caught....

We saw this excavator being pulled every morning,

 they were moving sand for a new cruise ship docking area.

Supper at the famous Poop Deck

We did an island excursion, rode 40 miles out to some islands and had lunch, drinks, fed sharks, went snorkeling, hung out on a sand bar and fed iguanas. It was truly paradise!

I'm the only one of the four of us to snorkel. It was beautiful!

Me in the water

We stopped at a small island to feed the iguanas grapes. 

Our last night out we went back to the Poop Deck, delicious!
