beta blogger frustration...

well i haven't switched over to the new version of blogger yet... and i guess that's the reason i can't comment on anybody's blog who has the new version! argh! i have tried to comment on kristi's, carrie's, and alyssa's blogs with no success... i can't even comment under anonymous! i don't know what that's all about. if anybody has any suggestions other than me switching over, lemme know. i just haven't done it yet, and brian doesn't want me to yet for some technical reason that i forgot.

have a great weekend!

my little prunes

as i was posting those pictures of caroline in the tub, i really did catch a glimpse of ethan 16 months ago... so i thought i'd share these comparison shots (ethan's on the left). caroline is proving to have her own little look, not necessarily the spitting image of her brother, but they are definitely related.

caroline's first bath

as i said in the last post, caroline really loved her first bath! she was a little freaked out as we lowered her into the tummy tub, but within seconds, she was relaxed and even gave us a couple of smiles. if you're wondering what in the world a tummy tub is, click here for more info.

bathtime!

we gave caroline her first "real bath" last week in the tummy tub, and she loved it! just seeing her little expressions as she relaxed in the water brought back memories of bathing ethan when he was a baby... (see, another plus to having your kids close together... you can easily remember what the older one did when they were the baby's age because it wasn't very long ago! ha!) anyway, so i started digging through the thousands of pictures since ethan was a baby and found several of ethan's bath shots...



ethan also had his first "big boy bath" with no turtle tub this past week... but i quickly learned that we needed a mat on the bottom of the tub to keep ethan from sliding around (which i now have). here's some pictures from ethan's bath the other night. yes, i will post caroline's first bath pictures next. hang on. :)

one size fits...a really fat baby!

caroline received a snuggly blanket sleeper as a gift this past week (thank you, sheila!)...and i had hoped it would fit her through the winter. well, according to the tag, it will fit her a lot longer than that!! check out how many lbs. this sleeper will hold...somebody in carters' editing department needs to be fired.
