10 months old.. and on the move..

Jack and Mommy having a serious discussion at the table about why we do have to keep the baby...

Well, she's finally on the move.. and in true Caroline fashion, she waited until she could do it right..

one day she wasn't crawling and the next day she was crawling and pulling up beautifully!

I never have to worry about her falling, she's very sturdy and does everything very carefully!

Oh so lucky with her!

Still an amazing eater and is loving more and more real food. I believe she might have eaten at least 2 pieces of pizza the other night!

Now that she is on the go I'm pretty sure that Jack has definitely decided he is not in her fan club. Collin would never lay a hand on her and just quietly moves away when she gets near him. Jack wants to let her know who's boss, says "no baby!" and she usually winds up getting whacked in the head if mommy can't save her first (Jack has spent alot of time in time out lately). I don't blame him though, she just comes in and starts wanting to crawl all over him and take his things. Of course, which brother does she follow around more?? The one who's mean to her... she loves, loves Jack and does not even bat an eyelash when he hits her .. tough cookie!

I do my best to keep them apart these days..

We've pulled the playpen out and she spends alot of her day in there while mom has to get things done. The boys have also decided they like being in there as well (of course they screamed when they were babies!).

Still such a sweet little angel with the best disposition!!

Pool fun!

I have a confession to make that we are pool moochers this summer!!

Fortunately we have very nice friends, neighbors, and grandparents!

We spent the first part of the summer in my friend's pool swimming around and eating lots of snacks. Well, I guess she HAD to go to Canada to see family.. so, our neighbors were very sweet and let us swim around in their pool while they were on vacation. Finally, the best pool came along courtesy of Grammy and Grampy. We head up to their tennis club which has a 1 foot covered baby pool the boys can splash around in and no people! We love it! Only way to spend a hot afternoon. The kids don't need all these fancy waterpark pools, just a simple baby pool will do.

Plus, we feel more at ease when we are at least mooching off of family...

Mid-summer fun!

yummy cupcakes for Daddy's birthday (the boys helped make them!)

Who doesn't love a Costco box??

That's just pure Collin.. (with Caroline's sunglasses on)

Whenever we haven't posted in a few weeks, you can be sure the Scanlans have been brought down by some sort of illness. We all (except baby Caroline) got hit with strep. Thank goodness for antibiotics... I went to the doctor five times in one week!

All better now! Despite that, we have been having a great summer.. swimming, parks, out in the front yard, hanging with the neighbors, eating popsicles, library storytime, just fun stuff..

Here are some pics!
