A lot has changed since the last time I posted on here! I've been so very bad about keeping our blog up to date and I vow right here and now to do better.It is now the middle of March and we have been living in our own house since February 1st. We live in a lovely duplex on the far east side of Madison. We really like being on the East side but ideally we'd like to be a little bit closer to the center of town. We have a very nice backyard which we've already made use of with the lovely weather we've been having!
Scarlett is of course changing all the time! She looks a bit different than she did from my last post in December. She is very much a Mama's girl which is a different story from when Esme was a baby. Esme was a complete Daddy's girl and still is! Scarlett has many nicknames which we bestowed upon her from her early weeks. Some of them are: Scarbo (from Rory calling her Greta Scarbo), Scarlito (Scarlito's Way), Scarborough Fair (obvious), Scarbo Cutepants, and Scar. When I was pregnant with her I swore I'd never call her Scar, but it has stuck. Scarlett is sitting up by herself, crawling (scooting really) backwards and around in a circle and babbling all of the time. She recently discovered blowing raspberries and does it so much that sometimes she does it in her sleep! She is very passionate about eating food. So far her favorite is sharing a banana with me. She also loves rice cereal and sweet potatoes. She is on the fence when it comes to avocado though. She is also very good at drinking water from an open cup.
Scarbo's favorite person is still Esme of course. It doesn't matter what Esme is doing she loves it! Esme dances for her, sings to her, holds her, lifts her up and moves her around on the floor, plays pretend with her, reads to her, and is just super attentive to her little sister. She is always making up songs about how she loves being her big sister and that they will always be together. I am so happy and proud of Esme for being such a wonderful big sister. She takes her role very seriously. Esme is taking some time adjusting to our new house. She mentions quite often how she wants to live back in Stevens Point at our old house with all of her friends. I think now that it's getting to be spring and we will be able to get out of the house and do more things she will start feeling better about being in Madison.
I feel that this is already a novella so I will stop for now, but I promise to make more frequent posts with all of the fun things we are doing in Madison! Happy Spring Everyone!
