Firsts

Greta is so sweet with Therese. Lately she has been wanting to cover Therese up in her very favorite Pooh and Tigger blanket. I think this is a big deal, because this blanket is probably Greta's most prized possession! Therese seems to think it's a big deal too--she always coos and smiles at Greta when she does it!
Therese on her 3 month birthday! Sweet, smiley little baby!
Therese has already surpassed Greta's weight as a 3 month old. She is now about 13 and a half pounds, and Greta didn't hit this weight until she was at least 4 months--she was always so lean and active! We've been calling her our chubby little baby :-)
Therese is rolling over, though, and tries to scoot herself forward too. She sees big sister moving all the time, she wants to get around too!
Therese really likes to suck her thumb, and she is getting better and better at making sure her hand cooperates.
The girls!
Greta wanted me to take these pictures :-)
So sweet!
On Therese's 3 month birthday, which was Saturday, we went to this amazing indoor pool in Vancouver for the first time--it was also Therese's first time "swimming" (aside from in the womb, I suppose!) Therese loved the water. She was quite a celebrity there too--so many children and adults kept coming up and wanting to touch her and find out how old she was.
My little sweetie! The facility had several different pools, sprays and sprinklers, a "lazy river", and a huge hot tub! Greta was quite overwhelmed by the whole thing, even with a life jacket on and Matthew and I holding her in the water (they even had life jackets available to wear there!) so eventually Matthew and I took turns holding Therese in the hot tub--which she loved so much she eventually fell asleep in our arms in it--and hanging out with Greta in the wading pool area. Greta ended up having the time of her life splashing around in the wading pool! We will definitely go back there, it was so fun.
Today Greta went to the "cinema"--as she and Papa have been calling it. This was Greta's first time at a movie theater. Matthew took her to see the new Pooh movie downtown!
Ready for the show!
Her favorite character, Tigger.
Chocolate cookie face!
I guess when the movie was over she immediately requested "more", "again"--I'm not surprised! Maybe I'll take her next time :-)
