Sweet Caroline

Tuesday, August 12, 2008

So Chris and I have received a little flak from those who look at our blog b/c we have not updated it in a month. I would like to say that is true b/c I have been keeping an ever so spotloss house and cooking wonderful meals etc...no, just plain exhausted. Caroline is teething and her sleep schedule has been crazy, so mom has slept anytime she gets. So here is a quick recap of the last month.

You CRACK me up
I had put Caroline down in her nursery to play on the floor while I was cleaning up. When I came back in, I saw that her diaper had slid down a bit and she had a little peek-a -boo with her hiney. Not only did that make me laugh, but did you check out that hair!

I'm Stuck and I can't get Out!

Caroline is not crawling yet, but she has mastered rolling over or scooting backwards until she is under a chair or our ottoman. From the kitchen I could hear little screeches and I came in to find her under the furniture. She could not figure out how to get out from underneath it...so mom to the rescue. Although, not before I took some pictures!

Blogging Already

Caroline was so upset that I had not put any recent pictures of her (and she was not too proud of the Mt. Saint Caroline one) that she decided to blog on her own.

Mom's Tattoo

O.k. so I really don't have a tatto, but I recently had an allergic reaction to a band-aid that I had put on my face. I had taken the band-aid off in the morning and had not looked into the mirror all day. When Chris got home that night, he just laughed and told me to look in the mirror. Yep, I had been around town all day with the little imprint on my face.

An Eventful Day!

Mt. Saint Caroline Errupts Again...or not! Her first try at solids...

So, by the looks of this stuff, I wouldn't want to eat it either. I managed to get most of it in her mouth until she of course spit it out...or should I say spit it up! Yes, we've nicknamed her Mt. Saint Caroline for her frequent bouts of reflux. I'm sure in baby language she is saying "listen woman, how'd you like it if someone was shoving spoonful of goo into your mouth?" On a scale of 1 -1o (10 being the best) I say Caroline scored an 8 for her first spoon feed. We celebrated this momentus occasion by having our friends Melissa and Addison over to play.

Play Date

Our friends Melissa and Addison came over on Wednesday to play today and Melissa caught the cutest pics of the girls holding hands....friends for life! Caroline was so exhausted she took her first 3 hour nap. I kept going to her room to make sure she was breathing! I didn't know what to do with myself. I thought surely if I lay my head down for a nap, she'll know and wake-up...how it usually works.

The Nursery

Some of you have asked for pics of the nursery since it has been a work in progress. I didn't finish it until a few weeks ago. Props to Chris and his dad who put up the molding and chair rail. Thanks Sweety!

Fourth of July

We had a great First Fourth of July with Caroline. We kept her busy all weekend with a concert on the 3rd, parade the morning of the 4th with swimming and a backyard dinner with friends. On saturday morning, Caroline helped mommy cook pancakes for dad.
