Winning and Growing

This may be a bit of a random post, but I feel like life is passing me by so quickly lately and with moving and everything else I feel like if I don't cram a bunch of things into every post I will never get caught up.  So just bare with me and enjoy all the pictures of my adorable kids.

Since I last talked about her, Carrigan had her 3 month birthday (the 4 month mark is actually closing in quickly).  She is getting so strong and can roll from her tummy to her back.  She probably would have been strong enough to do this long ago, but I have not really been able to test it because she REALLY hates tummy time.  On Sunday I decided she was just going to have to do it and sure enough she rolled right over.  I guess now that she is in charge tummy time will really never happen.




She is also really developing in her personality.  All it takes is smiling at her and she will be grinning from ear to ear and showing off her adorable dimples.  She has also become such a little laugher.  It seems like the more her personality develops the more she is just like a little people magnet.  Every where we go people are drawn to her.  Even her brother, who once the initial novelty wore off has not really asked to hold her very often, always wants to hold her now.  It makes me happy to see them being so cute together.



Merrick has also had some excitement in his life this last week.  He must have Jeremy's luck rather than mine, because he entered a drawing at the library to win passes to the aquarium and he won.  So thanks to our good luck charm, we now have a year long family pass to the Portland Aquarium.

We made our first visit this weekend and we practically had to pry Merrick away when it was time to go.  He loves learning about all kinds of animals and loved that he got to touch sting rays, star fish and sea anemones.  We spent a ridiculous amount of time waiting for him to touch a shark, but one never came close enough that he could reach...next time I guess.






And entirely unrelated to anything else, how cute does CC look in her new hat?
