Gwen is 4 months old!

Gwen is getting so grown up now. She's started joining us for supper.

She is napping in her crib during the day now.

And is putting herself to sleep some nights without crying! She's even had a few 12+ hours of straight sleeping - such a sleeping champ!

Cara is being a good girl and has a new goal of cleaning her plate at meal times.

And now that her hair is filling in we are enjoying getting all girly with the accessories :)

Gwen has really been trying to roll (back to front) for a while now. She'd get to her side and grunt and groan but not get all the way over.....

Well, that changed today!!! She is on a roll now! She did a flip this afternoon and has done a few more since too. Growing up!

Time to burn off energy!

Since we were still in a deep freeze this week we needed to get out and do some running around. We went to an indoor play park with our friends Rebecca and Leah. Cara and Leah are taking a break from all the playing they did.

Gwen taking a break too ;)

Cara running around!

Cara climbing!

On Friday we went to the mall with Nana. Cara had a good play there too in their kid area. (Thanks to Nana for the pictures!)

Cara burning off some cabin fever!

Gwen - sleeping :)

Cara "resting" on the moose!

Chowing down on a chocolate egg!

A girl who likes shoe shopping!

Back home to the table for some colouring.

Sweet little, Gwen. She's getting stronger all the time - getting her head up higher and she likes sitting upright now. She is kicking her feet up too so rolling might be in the near future.

Those cheeks are heavy though!
She is sleeping really well (10+ hours a night un-interrupted!!)

Cara trying to jump for a picture :)

2 Cutie Pies

Our 2 sweet little angels :) Are they not the cutest things you've ever seen?
Cara looks suspiciously happy to be sitting so close to Gwen and Gwen appears to have her fist ready to punch someone.

Gwen got all dressed up in a dress...had to get her in it before she outgrew it!
She looks a bit like Little Miss Muffet here with a spider dropping down beside her.

Gwen is Super-Baby!
Cara got a big kick out of seeing Gwen flying.

Cara is serious about eating all of her fruit salad!

Cara is also good at a nose scrunch.

Gwen being adorable.

Pretty in her pink dress.

Getting Eskimo kisses from Daddy :)

2 Growing Byrne Girls

Gwen - 14 weeks old.
She can laugh and giggle, hold her hands together, hold and reach for toys. She's trying to roll a bit and she can sit in her bumbo seat!

Speaking of rolls...she has got some rolls! Notice the wrist rolls and ankle rolls! Her rolly-ness makes her very cuddly!

Cara has been showing Gwen how to do things. Like sitting in a chair and holding hands.

And how to shake a rattle!

Little sister "looking up" to her big sister :)

So adorable!

Cara is such a little girl. She likes her cereal in a bowl with milk just like Daddy.

Daddy was trying to have a nap on the couch so Cara brought him a toy to snuggle and then dressed him up like a "clown".

We started making tents with the couch cushions and our couch might never be used in the usual way again! Cara has so much fun! And her hair does fun things too :)

So happy and static-y!

Gwen is so good at napping through a lot of the noise.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Gwen's first Valentine's Day - she is our little cupid :)

Cara loves any day that she gets candy!

Cara and Daddy finished their last class of this semester of swimming lessons on Saturday. Cara passed and was very proud of her accomplishment. Just like we are very proud of her!

Gwen had her 3 month check-up with the doctor on Friday. She weighed in at 16lbs! Up 2 pounds from just a month ago! She measured 59.5 cm. She is a very healthy and happy little girl :) She continues to sleep very well at night and is grasping at her toys. She is also laughing alot!

Mummy reading to her girls :)

Cara and Daddy building a snowman! Not much sticky snow around so it was a baby snowman. Cara kept telling us to "shhh" because the baby snowman was sleeping outside! Hopefully we'll get some good snowman snow in the spring and make a really big snowman with her.

Cara and her baby snowman!

This is a first for Cara. Falling asleep on the couch watching TV.
We're all getting a cold and it hit Cara first, poor girl.

Cara's pigtails!

Groundhog Day!

We were outside to play in the snow alot this week. Gwen doesn't like the wind so she snuggles in the front carrier with me and Cara rolls around in the snow...careful to avoid the yellow snow.

Balzac Billy (Alberta's "groundhog" - really a guy in a costume) saw his shadow so look for at least 6 more weeks of wintery pictures from us!

Peek-a-boo!

Gwen is sleeping very well for us. Napping in the swing and sleeping in her crib with usually only one wake up!

Gwen eying Daddy's pizza.

Cara loves Friday-night-pizza-night! This week was Hawaiian :)

We finally got some hair accesories for Cara's goldi-locks. She is showing off her barrettes here (and she has a ponytail too!) Looks so grown up!

Gwen and her Bear-Bear (thanks Caleb and Lucas!) They are almost the same size!

Cara and Violet (thanks Caleb and Lucas!) She really loves her!
