This picture of Emery showed up on my timeline this morning. It was taken exactly 6 years ago on this day and Astrid just happened to be wearing the same outfit today. The biggest difference in these two is that Emery was just a week shy of being 8 months old and Astrid is only 4 months! #sisters #emeryesther #astridevangeline

She WAS on the blanket, but now she's fast asleep and I don't dare move a sleeping baby. She was comfy enough to fall asleep though, right? 😴 #sosleepy #movingbaby

So much concentration happening here. "I want to chew on this toy thing but I am not sure my hands will work properly to get it there. Oof, I got this." 😂👶🏼 #babythoughts #astridevangeline

I may have finally found a storage solution that works for the everyday art supplies we use around here. #fleamarketfinds #artsupplies #ranemschoolhouse

I forgot to take a picture yesterday, but this little girl is 4 months old already! She's so smiley, she has such an easy going personality, loves laughing at her big siblings, has started grabbing and playing with toys, tries pulling herself into a seated position, rolls over onto her tummy, and she has recently started teething. ❤️ #astridevangeline #fourmonthsold

I captured one of those extremely rare quiet moments thanks to construction on our road today. These two were perched on the radiator for a solid twenty minutes. 😳👍👍

In other news, this little soon-to-be four month old just flipped over for the first time today!

Hanging clothes on a line always reminds me of being little.

Apparently folding the laundry isn't as riveting for her as it is for me. #astridevangeline

Working on those rolls. It's never too early to prepare for a Minnesota winter. 👍❄️ #astridevangeline
