February was a busy month with trips, sports, holidays and a birthday celebration.

Happy 30-something mom! |
Avery (6 months) - Little sister is trying to grow up on us. We have started some solids and she enjoys them from time to time. Sleep has been fleeting as she seems to be in the early stages of teething and prefers to snuggle with mom/dad. She is a very happy baby and adores her brothers/teachers. She has started enjoying playing with toys and loves to interact with the "baby" she sees in the mirror. Here are a few pictures of our sweetheart.

Parker (3 years, 3 months) - Parker definitely meets the qualities of the "Threenager" label. He is a huge sweetheart but incredibly emotional. He always prefers to do just what he wants. He has enjoyed having more of an identity separate from his brother with soccer and his own friends. But he always wants to do what "Carger" does. He is incredibly doting on Avery and is developing quite the whit. He loves spelling his name and recognizing letters. And he can't wait to go to "Number 7 Georgia Tech Kindergarten" next year ;)

Carter (4 years, 9 months) - Big brother seems to have grown up so much from last month. He has become quite the expert with "Thank you", "Please", "Mom I love You" and other unsolicited polite phrases, not to mention being a model good sport in Basketball. He is liberal with his hugs and kisses which we cherish for as long as he will give them.

Siblings - With the cold weather, the kids had lots of time to hang out this past month. The boys are best buds and they are incredibly sweet and considerate with Avery. They are always very proud of their baby and she lights up when they give her attention.
