The BIG Girl and Her Big Sister

Well I am growing a linebacker. Or maybe a lineman. I am so glad that Ellinor didn't grow like this in the womb. I'd have needed a replacement lower half.  At 15 weeks, Ell is weighing at a whopping 18 pounds. She was born average; this weight gain amazes me. For those not aware of average weights, Carter's SIX month clothes max out at 16.5 pounds. This means Ell is comfortably in nine month clothes, even 12 month clothes. At 3 1/2 months. INSANE.  Berit was always right on target so we're plowing through the handmedowns and preparing to dress Ellinor in shorts before Christmas. I joke. We will layer with long underwear, which fortunately still fits.

And now for some photos.

OH BOY....YOU WON'T BELIEVE THIS. I'VE MAXXED OUT MY PHOTO SPACE ON GOOGLE. GOOD GRIEF.....

I'm going to have to preserve Woody's blog and try to recapture photo space. I'm so sorry everyone!

September Fun

It is DEEEE-cember. I give up. I started this post in September....we had fun. So. Much. Fun.

The Knit Cap Kids: Eero, Hiver and Berit

Berit lags behind the overly burdened mommas -- check out the doubler. When I saw that, I thought oh never...well guess what? I frequently have the two pack system going these days. Wonders never cease!

Our sleeping Ellinor

Berit tucks her baby in with Ell

And then she tucks herself in!

Lingo checks on his girls...he can't restrain himself

This seems like a good spot to keep watch...

Crazy 75 degree September: time for a bike ride along the shore

Bare feet in the rocks, skipping in the waves
