JEB: 3 Years + 11 Months Old!

Spunky Miss June is into her final weeks as a 3-year-old, which is truly hard to believe. Even with Frannie around, it's difficult not to think of June as being our little one ... She's still doing great at preschool and recently had fun making valentines for her classmates. She's also doing well and having a great time at swimming lessons. (She continues to work on being comfortable with putting her entire face in the water.) June is also settling into her role as middle sister, alternating between playing "big girl" things with Ellen and engaging Frannie in silliness and showing her how to play with all of the baby toys. Three was a great age for June; we're excited to see what age 4 has in store!

June's hair is still as crazy as ever!

Bowling!

This little peanut still fits in the baby Bumbo seat!

FLB: 2 Months Old!

Hard to believe that Frannie is 2 months old already ... She continues to be a great baby. She's a bright-eyed good eater with an overall wonderful disposition. We have, however, entered into the phase of evening fussiness (I had blissfully forgotten about that stage!), but I will take it BECAUSE ... Frannie has been sleeping for eight straight hours at night (in her crib no less) since about 5.5 weeks old. Woo hoo! It's amazing what a solid stretch of uninterrupted sleep can do for a mama!

Best of all, Frannie has started smiling! We first started seeing little smirks around 7 weeks and this girl's smile has been lighting up the room (and our hearts) ever since.

JEB: 3 Years + 10 Months Old!

Little Junie is, well, not so little anymore! Out of nowhere our tiny redhead seems to be growing like a weed and filling out a bit. She's still without any hips or buns, but now she looks like a bonafide big kid. (The fact that we have a little baby in the house probably contributes to her suddenly looking huge!)

June is a busy one, too, these days. She's constantly running around the house, climbing on furniture and using the couch and chair arms as a pommel horse. I think we need to look into getting this girl enrolled in a tumbling or gymnastics class. Stat.

Finally, June continues to be an attentive big sister to Frannie and a tolerant little sister to (a sometimes bossy) Ellen.
