One month old today!

Today our beautiful baby girl is one month old. It is super hard to believe that a month has already gone by. She is a very happy baby that rarely makes a peep. She sleeps a lot, but at night she gets up often and sometimes likes to stay up. She is up to eat at night AT LEAST every three hours, a lot of times every 2! She loves to be held. She sometimes likes her paci, swing, and bouncer, but it is hit or miss.... Her eyes are blue and beautiful! She is the happiest, sweetest little princess...
Happy one month birthday Caroline Louise!
Tonight I thought I would try the bumbo just fun... wasn't so much fun

Her cord just fell off yesterday! Yes it took a long time. All three kids cords stayed on a really long time! More than likely because I always got them wet in the bath.
yes, that is a roll of paper towels mid air. The kids were building towers with paper towels then throwing them. One of the benefits of buying paper towels in bulk!They are pretty creative...There are also mixing bowls in the background. They lined them up and were walking on them...
So cute.
Claire broke out the Disney princess make up kit. She looked pretty stinkin cute with all her make up..
Here is me trying to get a pic of Chris with all the kids. This pic makes me laugh because all of the t-shirts that Chris and I own are stained. I am talking big time. All due to the kiddos. In this pic you can see the blood on Chris's shirt. That is because an hour or so before I took this pic Claire bit her tongue and bled on Chris.. Who needs clean shirts, as long as your kids are happy that is all that matters!
Chris took Corbs and Claireb to the mall playland. They came home with balloon spiderman and balloon mermaid. Chris got suckered in to the mall clown who sold balloon people for 5 bucks each!
All bundled up.
This is unhappy Caroline getting all ready to go to the dr. I had to take her to the dr twice this week b/c of congestion and a cold. It is mainly in her nose which is causing her to be raspy and not able to eat sleep well. I took her back later this week b/c the dr wanted to make sure it didn't settle in her chest. I take her back Tuesday for a final check. She is still congested, but I think getting better.

Happy Birthday Uncle Brian and other fun stuff...

It has been another fun week at the Barrow house! My mom was with me most of the week, which was the best.. We want to wish a very happy birthday to Uncle Brian! Uncle Brian, Nana and Paw PAw came to play last night! The kiddos really had fun! This week has had some rough patches. Claire woke up one night with a super high fever. I figured it was an ear infection since she had no real other symptoms, but when I took her to the ENT she said Claireb has tonsillitis.. She is on day 2 of a fever, not much fun at all. So needless to say between our precious 2 girlies we have been pulling all nighters... Thank God for naps.

My sweet boy...The kids were in jammers all day today. They were in the ones from last night, took a bath after their hair cuts, and then wanted to wear jams again!
Today mom cut Claire and Corbin's hair. How she keeps them still enough to get a good hair cut I have no idea. They don't really behave when I am in there watching, so I leave it to the expert.
Happy birthday Uncle Brian! Uncle Brian was in town last night from Florida, and got to meet baby Caroline for the first time!
Does she look like she is getting bigger??? We have an appointment Tuesday, and I am anxious to see just how much she has grown! Crazy to think she is almost a month old...
Claire likes the accessories... She likes make up, jewelry, shoes and dress up.. total opposite of her mama!

Happy Birthday Aunt Natalie & what we have been up to...

First I want to wish a very happy 30th birthday to Aunt Natalie! Happy Birthday!!! Hope you had a great day! Today Corbin and Claire played play doh outsude, it was a very nice day, and they enjoyed it!
Pretty baby Caroline Louise... this week we have been using the swing and the bouncer, she seems to like them both for short periods of time. Some people are starting to say she is looking a a bit like Claire... I still just see a miniature Corbin... Not sure how big she is, but I did sort of weigh her today. My neighbor let me borrow her mail scale. She is too long for it, so I weighed her in my big salad bowl. According to that she was 6 lbs 7 ounces... with clothes and a diaper on.. so my guess is she is just a little over 6 lbs, which is GREAT!!! I still can't believe how fast time is going by, tomorrow she will be three weeks old!
This is a new game that Corbin and Claire invented this weekend. They call it none other than the pillow game. They line the hallway and then jump from pillow to pillow. It entertained them for a long time, and they got a good little work out in.

Friday the kids had a little picnic lunch outside... they also got to play their favorite.. confetti eggs. I bought a bunch of confetti eggs when they went on sale after Halloween. If I ever need something to entertain them I reach for the eggs. They had a lot of fun playing with them.. As you can see in this picture Corbin is still sporting his "watch", and Claire is in a dress that is WAY too small. She likes to pick out her own clothes, always a dress, and usually one that is a summer dress and that is too small.. Whatever makes the princess happy!

look at all those pretty eggs...
Rolling them down the slide.. they get kind of creative
My two blue eyed babies!
Cousin fun!
Pretty girl
Sister love!
Here is a pic of Caroline and her Great Aunt Missy and second cousin Anna! They came to visit from Austin!

Girls Day!

This morning Nat brought my nieces over, and all the girls had a play date! Corbin was at school having fun, I miss him when he is at school but I kno whe is loving it there!! Nat took these precious pictures today, I love them!
Playing outside!
Giving Caroline some love...
Cousins telling secrets...
I love that my kids love each other so much. Like I have said before, there are times when they are not so sweet to each other... Then times when they say I love you without me telling them to say it, times they share without me asking them to, and times you can just tell they are each others biggest fans... Coming from a family with a lot of siblings, I know just how wonderful it is so have brothers and sisters.. and I am so thankful my kiddos have each other.. Caroline is only 2 weeks old, but is seems like she has been around for ever. Corbin and Claire always are checking on her, and making sure she is happy... it is pretty easy to keep a kiddo happy who sleeps 22 hours a day!
I can't say it enough... I love my family....

Boat show and more fun!!!

Sunday Chris took Corby to the boat show! Corbin had a really fun time. My parents and brothers went too, so they all enjoyed the boats and other boat show type things... Me and my girls hung out here, and all the cousins came over to play.
Corbin on the boats!
His favorite part was looking at the boats that had beds in them. I think he thought that was pretty cool...
My big girl is two weeks old today! She went to the doctor yesterday and gained half a pound in a week! Yea Caroline! She is up to 5 lbs 13 ounces.. when she came home she was 5 lbs 1 ounce, so she is definitely getting bigger!
beauty!
Here are the cousins playing a game Celine invented called put the sticker on the catalog!
My three sweet children, I cannot tell you how much I love these babies. They just make my heart smile... They have their moments of being a little bratty, but somehow you forget those moments, and only remember the sweet ones!
Sisters... Claire is OBSESSED with Caroline. I cannot do anything without my little helper being right there. She kisses her 10, 000 times a day. She really loves her little sister!
Corbin loves to hold her. He gets her in his arms and says " see mommy, she wanted me not you"... He is very sweet with his baby sister!
Sibling Love!
