So every now and then at the Spead house, we all sleep in too late and Caroline misses daycare breakfast, which is served promptly at 9 am. I don’t mind! Hey, I will take a toddler who wakes up at 8:30 any day over one who wakes up at 6:30. I am NOT a morning person so this is fine by me. Not to mention Vivi has just started sleeping though the night, but not consistently, so there are nights…
So our Vivi Girl turned two months old on January 22 and we celebrated by getting a bunch of shots at her 2 month checkup. The good news is that now she can fly on airplanes without fear of her getting sick, but it is still hard to see her suffer from the shots. She had a great checkup and is a healthy little girl. The pediatrician remarked that her head and neck were incredibly strong and that she had…
Caroline has officially transitioned to her new Big Girl room! Mike and I spent the last few days of his paternity leave going to IKEA, putting together furniture, setting up the space, and putting the finishing touches on the room. Then on Sunday afternoon, we did a Big Reveal…and she loved it. We were a tad bit worried that she would miss her old room and would keep going in there, but nope. She understood right away that the new…

Telling us she can do it herself. Not wanting help. Stringing worlds together to make real sentences. Caring so much more about the people in her life. And remembering things so well! Her new favorite line?? I DO IT! This applies to putting on shoes. Socks. Her jacket….
On January 12, Vivienne Kathleen was celebrated in style! Joy and Lee threw the most wonderful Sip and See at Ed and Susan’s house. Holly helped with the baking and everything was just beautiful–there were so many sweet touches and it was great to have my friends and family gathered to met this little lady. We dressed her in the gorgeous handmade outfit from Raul’s mom, which Vivi received for Christmas: They decorated the mantle with this sweet banner and…
So Mike and I ended 2018 with two very important firsts for Caroline: her first haircut and her first rock concert. In that order! Vivienne came along for both, in true little sister style. Caroline’s hair had started looking a bit unkempt and I got a referral for Salam, a toddler girl hair stylist from a friend of a friend who has little girls in the area. So after nap time, off we went! Salam was busy so we kindly…
