Happy Birthday, Tolson!

We had fun celebrating Tolson today!  I think she enjoyed being the center of attention.  She definitely loved all of her new toys and her cake.  Thank you to Nana, Pops, Bubbles, Mimi, Holders and Cuttinos for coming to party with us this afternoon.

Caroline had her very first haircut today.  She did great and thought she was such a big girl!

Singing a few songs to pass the time

All done...all smiles!

School Pictures Fall 2014

How cute are these school pictures of the girls???

11 months

At 11 months, Tolson:

*can WALK!!  She started taking steps about 10 1/2 months and now is taking off everywhere.

*  has two bottom teeth

*can say Ma Ma, Da Da, uh oh and bye bye (she waves with bye  bye, but it sounds a lot like da dah)

* is eating more and more solid food

*sleeps very well, from about 8 to 7

*  is fiesty- Lee started calling her the Tiny Terror and it is very fitting!

*is still into EVERYTHING.

10 months

At 10 months, Tolson:

*is EVERYWHERE and into EVERYTHING.  She will put anything in her mouth.  If you are holding it, she wants it, no matter what it is.  

*can stand up for little periods of time, is moving around holding onto furniture and always on the move.  I think she will be walking before her birthday.

*can say Ma Ma, Da Da and Uh-oh.  Most of the time, she just repeats us, but every once and a while she says it in a way that seems more intentional.

*has her first tooth peaking through on the bottom.  It broke the skin just a few days ago.  

*likes to eat.  She seems to be over the bottles and baby food and wants to eat more real food.  

*is a little rascal.  The teachers at school tell us she likes to steal blankets and toys from the smaller kids.  

*is still a happy, happy baby!  

9 months and 26 months

Caroline insisted on having her picture taken, too, so we have a 9 month old and a 26 month old :)

At 9 months, Tolson:
*can pull up and crawls anywhere she wants to go
*is starting to eat more solid food
*is HAPPY almost all of the time
*still doesn't have any teeth
*babbles more and more.
*sleeps well, from about 8:30 to 7:00
*has more hair.  So far it is blonder and thicker than Caroline's.

At 26 months, Caroline:
*talks more every day.  She has funny, funny expressions that she picks up.
*is very smart.  She can count to 7 and knows all of her colors.
*loves her sister
*likes to be outside
*is doing well at school, although I think she is ready to move to the next classroom with some bigger kids
*is stubborn, likes things her way and is a typical 2 year old in those ways!
*will say she needs to go potty, but has only gone a handful of times
*loves her bubble baths.  She likes to "swim" with her bath toys.
