I know, there aren't enough Nicole pictures on here...I gave her a bath this afternoon and since she was clean and relaxed I held her for a while and she fell asleep with her head on my chest. I took this picture about 30 minutes ago....I got her to sleep laying on me and thought I'd try laying her down on her tummy. She is still asleep and has even readjusted herself, so I know she's not going to suffocate!! Maybe this will be a new tactic for napping??
On a side note, that onesie she is wearing used to be HUGE...it's still wide, but she's finally the right length, which means she's growing!! She's still a little pipsqueak, but she's slowly expanding!!
This picture was taken last weekend...I decided that I needed to map out Karyl's school schedule before I started back to work so that I would be able to get everything she needed for the day or week ready ahead of time and she could do more independent work...and make sure she gets it all done by the end of the school year!! So this is everything spread out while I tried to sort through and make sure we got everything on the schedule!!
Our little ballerina!! She started ballet and tap class on Saturday mornings at a wonderful little studio here and she LOVES IT!!! The best part is watching her huge smile each week. She's super easy to find because she's like the tallest kid in the class (there's a few first graders maybe an inch or two taller, but that's it). However, in 2 weeks she will be moving over to the performance class because we decided to let her continue on after her class through the city was done and she will definitely be the tallest girl in there by at least 6 inches!!
There were about 30 girls in the class who, like us, signed up through the city....but if you decided to continue on with classes and be part of the Winter Wonderland rehearsal, you get to leave the city class and move to the performance class and learn the dances for the recital...she even gets a professional costume (which there is a picture of further down!!).
Tah-dah...this will be her costume...a penguin!!!
The rest of this blog is courtesy of Karyl....she asked if she could borrow the camera and take some pictures, and these are the things she felt were important enough to snap a memory of. I have no idea why, but quite honestly, some of her pictures are better than the ones I take!!
I love that she chose specific things to photograph...she even placed them carefully on the floor and was very meticulous about the pictures. You have to love that girl!!
And for those thinking, "wait, don't you have a son??" yes, we do!! However he is such a little ball of energy that he's never in one place long enough to take a picture of!! He is growing so tall so fast....we thought Karyl was abnormally large, well we were wrong...Freddie is quickly giving her a run for her money!! This boy is only a head shorter than Karyl (about 5-6 inches) and he is only about 6 pounds less than her. Luckily, since Karyl is a girl, she thinned out as she got taller, but Freddie will definitely not be "thinning out," this boy is linebacker material all the way!! He is getting too stinking cute too and is talking like it's nobody's business. He went from saying maybe 2-3 words together before Nicole was born to full sentences and ideas now. He know his whole alphabet and what sounds the letters make...he can count to 10 and count objects correctly...he is amazing us everyday. He had a slow start but has caught up fast and we just can't get enough of him...even if he is loud enough to always wake Nicole up RIGHT AFTER she finally falls asleep and I finally get a few minutes with no screaming....
