Month Four (and a whole bunch of other stuff!)


Missed a bit of blog time, I know! Since it has been so long, and there is not really a coherent way to make all these pictures come together, I am just going to comment as I go. May or may not be in order. Definitely will be cute!






Miss Big Girl Charlie, in her t-shirt that Titi Pat (or Titi Pap, as Emily says) brought her from Italy.


A rarely allowed ponytail on Emily. She hates for us to mess with her hair in anyway - some days we can't even brush it!


Chatting with Grandaddy.


Trying out the bouncy chair for the first time.



Our morning routine these days: Charlie wakes up at 5 (ouch), we feed her in our room and then take turns getting ready and watching her. We wake Emily up at 6:30 and they watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse together while we finish getting ready and get them dressed.
On this day Emily was feeling generous and let Charlie hold her beloved "puppy".



At her 4 month doctor visit. She is perfectly healthy and growing like a weed! She has been hovering around the 15lb mark.
We have made quite a few visits to the doctor's office with this gal in the past month or so. She was diagnosed with bronchiolitis and had to do about 2 weeks worth of breathing treatments. Then she got a sinus infection, which led to two weeks worth of antibiotics. She was all snotty, with a rough sounding cough, and she was refusing bottles occasionally - we were really worried about her, but she seems to have turned the corner finally!










Emily loves to play with our phones and she loves to take pictures of herself making silly faces.


Again with the hair bow hate!









Attempting to get in at least one picture with my girls!


This is the face we get most of the time when we try to take her picture.


She loves to stick stickers all over her face!








We took a family outing to the pumpkin patch! Emily wasn't too sure about alot of the activities - no hayride or playing in the giant bin of corn. But she loved being able to run all over the place and she LOVED picking out pumpkins!


Charlie was indifferent about her pumpkin.


More stickers on the face.


I threw Emily's "owlie" on to Charlie, just to see what would happen. This captures it perfectly! Check on the smirk on Charlie's face, and Emily's little hand in the corner, reaching in to immediately snatch that dirty old owl away.



I asked her to try on her jacket, and apparently that required crawling.


In late September, I traveled by myself for a weekend wedding in NC. Mikey took the girls to Kentucky for his sister's retirement ceremony.





I missed them all like crazy! But it seems like they got along just fine without me!




Another exciting recent event - the birth of our niece, and cousin, Anna Katherine Scarbrough!
She snuck in to the world about 3 weeks earlier than expected!

She is the tiniest little baby I have ever held, and just as sweet as can be. I am so excited for my sister and I to have girls about the same age. 



While I was meeting AK, Mikey and the girls went ahead with our plans to attend a Halloween party. He is a brave man! I am not sure I would have been able to handle two little ones on my own with that much stuff going on.
Some horrible person at the party taught my sweet innocent baby Emily to say "Roll Tide".




Charlie likes to do backflips off of her pillow, so you can't turn your back on her for a second!



Daddy and Charlie, napping one more while I took a shower.


Ahh, school photos. I laugh every time I see this image!

I have no idea why Emily was so sour this day, but I had no choice but to buy these shots!
I am thinking, Senior yearbook photo? Wedding slideshow? The possibilities are endless!




Charlie fared much better in her solo pics!



Halloween 2014 did not go exactly as planned. For starters, it was freezing cold and raining. I had ordered a precious little monkey costume for C, and E was supposed to wear a little khaki dress and a hat, and be her Zookeeper.
Emily flat out refused the khaki dress.
I had thrown this Titans cheerleader dress in the bag just in case, and manage to shove her screaming body in to this one, and then distract her with candy.
Once she got the hang of trick or treating, she loved it!


Mikey with his girls on his birthday.


Charlie is really close to being able to roll over. She tries to practice all the time. This makes diaper changes interesting!


Morning pancakes and cartoons.



And finally, a shot of my adorable baby girls cuddling together.

Believe it or not, these are not the most recent pictures that I have! There are more to be downloaded - hopefully sooner rather than later!
