Playing with the HWS Jr. Chapter

So on the 26th we had some friends over to our house for the Texans and Cowboys game (which ended quite nicely). While the guys watched the game, the mommies and kiddos played upstairs and in the back yard. All of the little ones seemed to have a really great time, even if the Daddies were a little disappointed in the result of the game. (Not John though)

Annette climbing on the playground.

Zack's turn.



Sliding down

Wrong way Addison.

Zack contemplates sliding.

Time to swing.

Don't jump Zack!!!!

Addison's got it right now

Swinging with Mommy is fun.

Swingin'

Daredevil Annette.

Slidin'

Even though she didn't play outside, Carolyn had fun too.

She even cheered up the other Daddies by spitting up on John's Cowboys jersey.

Carolyn's 6 Month Check-Up

I can't even believe it - Carolyn is already 6 months old. Some of the most unique moments in her life have already passed! We took her to the doctor's office yesterday and everything looks great.

Here are her current stats:

Height: 28 1/4 in (100%)
Weight: 17 lbs, 12 oz (80%)
Head: 17 1/2 in (65-70%)

To my surprise, her weight gain slowed a little. She seems to eat so much, but I guess she isn't really eating as much as I think or she has an awesome metabolism. Either way, she is healthy and happy and that's really all I could ever ask for.

Playing Around with Cody

Last weekend our cousin Michael came into town for his birthday and Annette & Carolyn got to hang out with their 2nd cousin Cody. It was a lot of fun to see Cody and Annette play together and Carolyn had some fun too.

Annette had to have a booster seat so she could sit in a chair like Cody.


After lunch the two moved into laps for dessert.

Then they played dominoes at Granma and Poppa's.

"See Cody, mine are this high."

Granma and Carolyn found the mirror.

The Poppa got some Carolyn time.

Granma, Poppa, and the great grandkids (pre-Austin)

These two had a lot of fun together.

So did these two

The next day they went to feed the ducks.

They both really got into it.

Cody really liked the hat he borrowed.

and Annette liked pulling him in the wagon.

Don't worry, Carolyn had fun too.

Then it was time to feed more ducks.

Which they did until they ran out of bread.

Annette playing around

Man sometimes, we are so focused on watching little baby Carolyn grow that we forget what a big girl Annette is. Well the other day she reminded us in a couple of big ways. First with how she ate and then with how she played.

Big girl Annette eating her apple.

She doesn't need it cut up anymore.

Getting ready to take a big bite.

Yummy apple.

Whoa there, Where do you think you're going?

Oh you're looking for a toy.

Well go on and get it.

It must be way down there.

Almost have it.

I found it.

Getting out.

Now what?

She found her toy and is ready to play.

Carolyn eats some veggies!!

Carolyn was doing such a good job eating her cereal, that we decided it was time to give her some baby food. We went with Green Beans as her first try (Annette had squash for her first food) and she just ate it up. She had no problem at all eating the beans and seemed to really enjoy it. In fact she ate more than we thought she was going to at first and we had to go back for a second serving. It is very encouraging that she is eating so well, just like her older sister did. This week we are going to move on to squash and carrots too!!

Carolyn's first bite of green beans!

Working on getting them into her mouth.


She's carefully considering this new food....

and ruminating over all of its intricacies.

Look at that concentration as she decides if she likes it.

"I think I like it Mommy."

"I like it a lot!!"

"Hey, what's that shiny thing".

Green Tongue!!!

"More Please"

There is some anticipation in those eyes.

Annette wanted to help feed her too.

Good thing Mimi is there to help Annette.
