Well since my last post lots has gone on in the Hughes household!! The first and MOST exciting thing is that Caroline got her first two teeth!!!! Yay!! They popped through the skin on the 18th of March. She got both bottom teeth at the same time...poor thing! Boy is she MUCH happier now that they broke through the skin. So now she is constantly licking them with her tongue and making funny little faces while exploring these new objects in her mouth! She doesn't like me to look at them, so we have yet to get a picture of the new pearly whites, but they are there...I've been bitten! :) She's growing up so fast! She is also now fully into 12 month outfits, which totally amazes me since Katherine was wearing these outfits when she was WALKING! Caroline is not even crawling yet! She's so sweet though. She's got the sitting up thing down pat pretty well now, but most of the time I will sit her in the floor, walk away for a second and then come back to find her lounging on the Boppy with her head on one side and her feet propped up on the other. She is one chill kid, that's for sure! She is also very excited with her ability to roll...everywhere. She will roll over onto her tummy, then onto her back and as soon as she sees the ceiling she just cracks up! She has also figured out that she can get what she wants if she rolls to it, so we are now into re-baby-proofing. Except this time for little people instead of just a three year old. Amazing how you forget about not having little stuff out that the baby will chew on, etc. Look out, because we are about to have two VERY mobile kiddos! AAGGHH!
Chris has been extremely busy with the shop and some personnel issues there. I think he has everything ironed out now, but for a while it was crazy, crazy! Business is still doing well and we are so thankful and blessed that we are thriving in a time where most contractors are closing up shop! Praise the Lord!
The weekend of March 20th, Chris and I took Katherine back to the Magic Kingdom for a special Mom, Dad and Katherine get-away. It wasn't intended to be a full day and night of just the three of us, but it ended up that way, and was very fun! We spent the whole day at the Magic Kingdom (main Disney park) and then went back at night for the Spectromagic Light Parade and Fireworks. Katherine was completely enamoured with all of the sights and sounds. She was also worn slam out! She was fast asleep and completely limp by the time we got on the bus toward the hotel. Sunday morning we got up and managed to have breakfast with Pluto and Minnie Mouse!! What a treat! Then we zipped back home in time for lunch with Grammie, Gray Gray, GiGi, Joe Joe and Caroline!! Caroline got to spend some quality time partying with Grammie and GrayGray while we were at Disney with Katherine. She was pretty excited to see me when we got home, but more excited to see her big sister Katherine! Caroline L-O-V-E-S her big sister. It's so sweet!
Last weekend was a weekend at home, and guess what?! We were FINALLY all well enough to go back to church?! Imagine that?! It was great to be back at church and Katherine was very glad to play dress up with the Princess outfits in the nursery. Especially since she now knows all of the Disney Princesses and which outfit belongs to each Princess. She favors Cinderella...as if there were a competition! :)
This week is Katherine's Spring Break, so it's been quality girl time in the Hughes house. Yesterday we managed to make an Easter Bunny cake and today we went shopping for "summer shoes." By summer shoes, I mean Crocs. Katherine wanted flip flops, but she HATES the thing between her toes, and surf shoes are horrible at collecting sand, so we met in the middle and decided on Crocs. You will never guess what color she picked...PINK! Imagine that?! So we are now all set for summer, complete with bathing suits, cover up, PINK crocs, and PINK sandals. Bring it on!!!
Caroline is not feeling so well today, so we will be going back to visit our wonderful Dr. W in an hour to see what's up with her. I am thinking that it's the croup again...we shall see!
Here is a picture of our Easter Bunny cake in honor of Easter this weekend! I'll try to get more pictures up on Shutterfly pronto! Enjoy!
