Splash Park!

There's only one way to stay cool in Austin in the summer and that is to get wet!  Today Mom and I took the girls to a splash pad near Lady Bird Lake.  It's been almost a year since Caroline has been to one so I don't think she remembered what these were.  She went nuts and had a blast!  We even got to see a turtle crawl across the sidewalk.  I've never seen her run so fast as she did to get to him.  Thankfully Grandma got to her before she touched him.

Taking it all in when we first got there.

Hanging out in the shade with Stella

Just a little update....

Yes, it's been over three months since I've posted.  You're not going to even recognize Stella now.  At her four month appointment she weighed 15 pounds, 9 ounces.  She's still hanging out in the 90th percentile.  Her length is 25 inches which puts her in the 75th percentile.  She's such a healthy girl. 

She's rolling over from tummy to back.  She loves to make noises and smile.  She's such a happy little girl and has the best smile.  She's very skilled about putting anything that she can get her hand on into her mouth.  She loves her exersaucer and has gotten good at maneuvering around so she can play with all her toys.

Here we are recently at a bounce house place.

Caroline is just as busy as ever.  If I don't keep her busy, she finds a way to keep herself busy and that's not usually a good thing.  haha!  She still has a great fondness for Elmo, loves her sister and loves her "cheesey."  She could eat cheese sticks all day long and be happy.  She loves rocks, sticks and leaves.  Anytime we're outside she always comes back with a little collection.  She loves to run.  When we go to the park, she runs and runs and runs.

And there are lots of preparations underway for a big celebration at the end of the month!
