Baby Charlotte's first month has flown by! She has graced us with sweet smiles and is becoming more alert every day. She loves to be held and sleeps very well on her tummy. This tiny one has brought our family a bundle of baby joy.
Caroline decided this month would be the perfect time to potty-train (as if caring for a newborn was not enough for me)! She is thrilled to wear princess panties and promptly puts them on by herself when she wakes each morning. Thanks to a jar of jelly beans and stickers, she's becoming a pro on the potty. Other rewards follow successful trips to the bathroom, such as the privilege of wearing a princess crown and hearing the Giles family rendition of, "You're a Super-Duper Pooper!"

Caroline's latest obsession is her "rainbow" twirl dress. Her number one wardrobe requirement is that it must twirl. I have purchased four of these dresses in similar colors. Her favorite continues to be the brightly colored dress she is wearing in this picture. At the end of the day when it's time for pajamas she brings me the dress and requests that I wash it so that she can wear it again the next day. The following morning she greets me with the question, "Rainbow dress all done?" It's a happy day when the dress has been washed and is ready to be worn and twirled in once again.
The older children are a great help to me. Maren has become a second mother. She constantly comes to my rescue and has earned the nickname of "Lifesaver." Charlotte adores her and finds comfort and security in her arms.

You have such precious girls! And congrats on the potty training success--go Caroline. It's hard to believe your sweet Charlotte is already a month old!
I think a video of the Super Duper Ppoper song is in order ;) I'm glad she decided to go for it, even though the timing could have been better! And Chloe won't wear shorts either - it's dresses all the way. How fun to have girls!
They are all beautiful!
Rainbow dress...how I miss you. Is the blue one no longer an option? And doesn't Charlotte look adorable in yellow. Absolute perfection. She was the best part of a night filled with insomnia. :)
The girls look so beautiful. I really want to know more about the super dooper pooper song ;) I miss you friend. These pics of your family bring me such joy.
I am getting a crown and some jelly beans ASAP. And could you teach me your super dooper pooper song?
