Life Lately

I think we've already hit the midway point with summer. We've also hit another heat wave. I can't wait till the weather goes back down to the comfortable 70s. Summer has been going by both fast and slow at the same time. Need proof?

 Baby girl is already four months old!

I was a bit behind with posting this, so now she's closer to 4.5 months old! Yikes! The crazy planner in me is already thinking of first birthday venues to get the best bang for our buck.

 She is so, so, so close to rolling over

If she was my first born child, I would encourage this rolling over mess. However, as a third time veteran, I'm not encouraging any of this mess. When they first roll over, they're unable to roll back. When this happens in the middle of the night, that means I have to wake up to roll her back. No thanks. But speaking of sleep...

Look who's finally in her own crib

The first night, she slept from 8-6. That was purely amazing! However, the past couple nights, she's been waking up at 12... then 1... then 3... then 6... why? I only nurse her once a night just to relieve myself, but why is she doing this?! Could this be the much dreaded four month sleep regression? (The other two never had this... so this is new to me.)

Her own little baby corner

I forgot how much space baby toys take up. They're the biggest toys ever! With baby toys, and the older kids toys, our house is being overpowered by toys. I really have to get the older kids to purge one of these days.

Proof that they have too much stuff

Proof that baby stuff takes a LOT of space

During this time, baby discovered her feet

More feet

Feet for days

Since Lucas is an Osmo tester (Charlotte has to wait a few more months till she can be a tester too), I found a mom and pops bookstore in MH where Char could test out some Melissa and Doug toys. Before the "testing" began...

 She found the cute stackable beanies!

 While Char was testing, Evangie passed out

 Sister-sister time

Lucas chooses to be in school every. single. day. He must really think home life is boring. Oh well, I'm not offended. It's easier having one less kid to "entertain". However, Charlotte gets pretty bored at home without Lucas. It's a catch 22. Every once in a while, I take Char (I mean, the girls) out for some treats.

 Vitality Bowl

 On the fourth of July, we decided to bypass the beach. Instead, we opted to go to Watsonville to go strawberry picking. The weather said that it was going to be 20 degrees cooler and cloudy. Wrong and wrong. It was sunny and hot there. Boo.

 Strawberries!

Lucas has overcome his shyness and pretty much plays with any boy around. While we were munching on some goodies, Lucas and Charlotte went to the sand area to play with some boys. While they were playing, us parents munched on food and took "glamour" shots with Evangie. 

 Big brown eyes <3 i="">

 Char wanted a picture of this

A PB opened up near us. Finally! SSJ is finally being embraced with Asian-ness. I'm still waiting for a Ranch 99 to come back. Once that's there... everything is complete! 

 mmm... patbingsoo...

Ending this with lots of love

Yup, definitely no sibling jealousy here (for baby). I can't say the same for sibling jealousy with between the other two though...
