Tweedle-isms

I have some funny kid.
Here are a few of my favorite phrases:
Owen-isms
1.) one day he told Blake "you're makin' my nerves!"
2.) yesterday I asked him to do some thing and when he did o said thank you and his reply, " just doing my job!
3.) at the park the other day he kep saying- "mommy watch... I'm fixin' to do!"

Blake has funny words for things.
He calls his sheets, "sheeps."
Calls a map a "nap"
Yogurt is "urgurt"
Oatmeal "e-milk"

And they both call Caroline "carowine"

Sweet, sweet, sweet

Joy

They love being big brothers...and big bubbles

Sweet girl

Love her!

Testing, testing

This is the boys first day of school. Aren't they so cute? I am also trying to see if text shows up now on my blog...so frustrating!

Our Carolina girl

Well - she is hear! Caroline Jean Stroh arrived last Thursday, August 25 at 3:30pm. She weighed in at a whopping 6 lbs, 12oz and 19 1/2 inches long. She's taken our hearts!

She is so sweet, so calm, and best of all able to sleep through her brothers riding bikes all around her swing. I laugh when I think about babies who wake up with a door bell - not this girl!
Blake and Owen are adjusting wonderfully. Owen loves to kiss her and asks to hold her. Blake likes talking to her and will rub her head...but won't kiss her. They are doing so much better than we could have ever imagined!!! I think it has helped that daddy has been home with them to play with them all week.

My mom has been here and like with the boys she is super granma! She does the night shift. So I feed her and pass her off. I am hoping granma will move in!

Family of 5!

We have had lots of visitors! Granpa...

Granma

 

Aunt Tracey, Uncle Matt, John and Gracey

Grammy and Papa Ric

We are so glad she's here!

Caroline's a-coming!

We have 11 days! TICK TOCK! I am at a mix of emotions. Ready to physically not be preggers anymore, but also wanting to soak in every minute with my sweet boys. We have been making lots and lots of progress getting things ready for her. One major this is her room is 99% done! All we are waiting for is our mattresses for the guest daybed in her room.

Here are some pictures of her room:

And here is a onsie I made her and two I made for little Watson who will be born about 2 weeks after.

We have been asked a ton if the boys know what is going on. And my answer is YES! I have started nesting and I think that they have, too! Starting Monday they began to act like their monkey and giraffe are their babies. They want them to be in Caroline's room. Swing them, bounce them, tuck them into the crib...they also wanted to learn what everything was in her room and what is was used for. For the past 4 days we have spent most of our days in her room. They have even learned to swaddle! It's super sweet and excites me that they might do more than just ignore her when she gets here!
