Okay, so my friend has given me a hard time for being so behind in my blog so she gave me an idea to post my top 5 things going on in my families life right now to try and catch everyone up.... so here we go, however I made it my top 4.
1. My sweet baby girl turned 4 months old on 10/25 and is growing by leaps and bounds. She is babbling and cooing like crazy and already has her two bottom teeth!!! I can't believe she has teeth already, she got them right before she hit 4 months. At her well check she was 15 lbs (75%), 25 3/4" (95%) - we grow big tall babies in my family!!!! Caroline can roll to her side but doesn't love being on her tummy so I don't think the full rolling over thing is going to happen real soon. She is eating or should I say wearing her cereal now and will be starting on veggies at the end of the week.... I am going to try making her baby food this time around and try to make this child not so picky like her big brother Luke and I SWEAR that she will NOT ever even taste a gerber graduate meal and get stuck on them like Luke.... that is still pretty much all he eats for lunch and dinner with the exception of chicken nuggets/green beans and tots - that's it!!!
2. James has been working from home for the last week and that has been a pretty big adjustment for all of us. He gets distracted and wants to see what the kids are doing and therefore is not in the office much and therefore my routine is totally out of whack!!! It is nice having him home but it is nice having a routine as well (and to be able to keep the house picked up). Luke loves having him around and wants him to play cars with him whenever possible.
3. My big boy is going to be 2 years old this month, I absolutely can not believe it - where has the time gone???? Luke is talking up a storm and now speaks in small sentences and can count to 15 (which I think he learned from Sesame Street) and sings the ABC's, actually he LOVES to sing any and every song and catches on rather quickly. His favorite right now is Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and he sings it ALL the time and as loud as he can at times.... he wakes up singing it. He is at such a fun age but at the same time I can def. see the terrible two's headed straight at me!!! He also is just not acting out sometimes with Caroline but loves her so much at the same time. If she cries he runs up to her and tells her it's okay and kisses her. He loves to lay next to her on her playmat etc etc.... They are too cute together.
4. We had a great time on Halloween, we started the day at a Halloween playdate at Luke's friend Carter's house. Luke was a pirate and Caroline was dressed in pumpkin stuff and after we took all the kids pics (Luke, Carter, Bella, Awbrey and Emma - we did the babies seperate) we stripped them all down to their diapers and let them paint pumpkins. Luke had such a great time. Later that evening (after I waited two hours in line to vote) we went to James sisters Halloween party and had a blast - Luke loves his family SO much and went trick or treating and played with his cousins.

I totally understand what you mean about your routine. Jason was home all last week with a horrible case of poison ivy. I got some for the first time, too. It was enjoyable being miserable with him, but I had just gotten a routine set up for each day, so it was hard to let everything go. I was able to mostly keep the house picked up (easier with no kids) but that's about it.
I love Luke's costume!
