Abby is 4 months old

Abby is now 4 months old and such a sweet little girl. She weighs 13lb and is 26 inches long. She is also such a smily baby. Here are few of her 4 months pics. My family is here for her baptism and to visit, so more pictures to come soon.

Fun with the kids

We have not been up to much around here. The kids are getting over a "fever" virus which has allowed Patrick and I to take turns staying home with them. They are much better today. They are both growing and changing everyday. Here are a few pictures of our summertime fun.Carter and I went out into the Diego Sprinkler but as you can see, it was more fun to spray Diego with the water gun.

One of his new favorite things is jumping.

I promised him that we would go play in the rain, so he got all ready for the fun, but before we got outside, it stopped raining. He had fun anyway..

Carter wanted to hang out with Abby while she was in her Bumbo Seat. As you can see, she loves to watch him.

What a big girl.

Love that smile. She has such a great personality.

Growing up...

The most exciting thing that has been going on is that Carter started "Big Boy" School today. We made the switch from the daycare at the hospital to where I work to a more structured pre-school setting. They have so many things to offer and we have been on the waiting list since before Carter was born. We sold the idea to him in that he is growing up and time to move out of the "baby" school where Abby goes. He had 3 weeks with her to get her situated. The funny thing is that when people ask him where he is going, he replies "Big Boy" School. I have to then explain. Abby is still at the daycare by my work. All in all the day went good. Here he is showing off his backpack. So cute. He did not cry when I left, but I did when I got to the car. He is getting so big. Gramp's birthday was this weekend and Carter, Ian and Neeley realized that there is now sand at Gramp's house, so let the fun begin. Here is my sweet boy again. He is growing so fast...

Then we have Abby. She is such an easy baby and growing up so fast too. I just can't believe it. She wiggles all the time and smiles when you talk to her.

She has been working so hard to hold her head up when she is on her stomach. She has been rolling alot from her back to her stomach, but then gets mad..

As you can see, she has started watching Carter. He is always moving and now she is noticing alot more.

So just wanted to give everyone a quick update on the Toole Family...

Are they related?

Here are pictures of Carter and Abby at 3 months doing their favorite things. Playing on the activity mat looking at the lights.Carter

I figured her flowers would give it away.

Return to work

I returned to work on Monday and things have been going fine. It is an adjustment and very hectic. We are out the door by 6:30am so that I can take Carter and Abby to daycare near my work. Carter will be going to a new preschool in a few weeks and we are very excited. I work 8 hour days Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. On Wednesday, we went to visit a dear and special friend of mine. She was a former patient and she played the organ at our wedding. It were her first time to meet Abby. We had a great time. Carter was excited to go and give her a hug. It was sweet. Abby will be 3 months tomorrow. Time does fly. Not so sure of going to daycare on her first day.She really has long legs...

We enjoyed the day at the zoo with some friends. Carter loves the zoo and was excited to see the baby giraffe and alot of other animals. Sorry, no pictures of animals, just sweet kids. ENJOY.. Caleb, Ryan, Caleb and Carter
Carter wanted to find everything with the map of the zoo.

I LOVE THIS ONE...

Fun with the boys.

Abby is 11 weeks and Carter at Edventure

Abby is now 11 weeks and smiles and kicks her legs all the time. We only have one more week before I go back to work and Abby starts at the daycare where Carter is.




Carter thought it was important to water the sidewalk sitting in a chair with his sunglasses on.. Silly Boy..

Carter and his friend Ryan at Edventure Children's Museum

More fun at Edventure. There was a Curious George exhibit, a firetruck, a contruction exhibit and the kids get to go "grocery" shopping. We had lots of fun.
