Day 14-Say Apple!

I love this smile (and this girl!) with all my heart.

Day 13-Hold Me

All Vera has wanted today is to be held. Sick babies are so sad. But at least I get to enjoy her snuggles.

Day 12-Touch Your Toes

This cute chub loves grabbing her toes.

Vera is now almost 5 months old! She had a doctor's appointment today (poor kid caught what Charlotte has), and she is now 18 lbs 6 oz! That is dressed, with a wet diaper, but that is up from 17 lbs just a couple of weeks ago. She was 27 inches then, which I'm guessing hasn't changed much since. We love this growing, beautiful girl!

Day 11-Name Scramble

Charlotte surprised us when we realized she knew the order of the letters in her name! She can find the right letter out of the bunch and slide it over in the correct sequence, but by the end her name looks a little scrambled. But she's getting it! And I thought she would have a hard time with such a long name. She showed me!

Day 10-Blackberries

Elise saw blackberries on a grocery store ad a few days ago and kept asking for them, insisting that she loves them. So we bought her some not knowing if she would like them since we don't usually buy blackberries. She really did love them and gobbled up as many as we would give her.

Day 9-Poor Charlotte

Poor Charlotte has been sick. She fell asleep on the couch, which never happens. Her "dozing dog" (named for The Napping House by Audrey Wood) and her butterfly blanket soothe her when she isn't feeling well. Also, she loves that blue jacket. She had the chills so I put it on her, poor kid.

Day 8-Raffi the Duck

We've been sick, so we pulled out our trusty duck humidifier. Elise named it Raffi. She likes to wear the top like a hat. She has been doing that forever.
