Catching Up

Well I apologize for my recent absence from the blogging world. The holidays have been busy this year, but we had a fabulous time seeing friends and family. Forgive the long post, but I am trying to catch up quickly. Enjoy all of the pictures. The most recent are at the top so you should scroll down to see them in order.

Caroline turned 7 months old on January 7th.

These are our dear friends Justin and Katie and their new little boy, Caden. He is beautiful and Caroline was so happy to meet her newest friend. He was born at 12:30 am on New Year's day.

Opening Christmas presents was just too much for our little girl.

Christmas day was so much fun. We spent Christmas in San Antonio, and we had a blast with my family. My sister was in town from New Orleans, but my brother couldn't make it this year. We missed you James!

Caroline got to meet Aunt Anna and Uncle Will for the first time this Christmas. They live in Ohio and aren't able to come down that often. Anna is one of my oldest and dearest friends and seeing her this year made me miss her so much. We love you guys.

This is the picture we are going to use for her Baby's First Christmas ornament. Isn't she precious.

Caroline and her Grandma.

Thank you Mom for hosting Christmas. We love you so much!

This was for our Christmas card this year. No you were not left off our list.

I ran out of time and didn't actually send any out.

This is just a cute picture in one of her many Christmas outfits.

This was Caroline's first trip to the zoo. This trip was so special to me. Two of my oldest and closest friends were able to go too. Ashley and Savannah are on the left, and Amy, Elena, and Evan are on the right. I love you girls so much!

5 Months Old

Well, as usual, I am a little late in getting the monthly update on the blog. Caroline, as of November 7th, is five months old. It seems like she is growing so fast. She is beginning to sit up on her own (assisted by the boppy) which I am thrilled about. She laughs and smiles non-stop which is so much fun. She has such a sweet personality. She has started to notice if she drops a toy, and she is beginning to cry when I leave the room.

Happy Halloween

While we don't celebrate Halloween as an actual holiday, we love the opportunity to dress up and have a great time. This year we had the most fun getting Caroline dressed up. She had two outfits to wear, one courtesy of a sale at the Carter's store and the other, a cute t-shirt from her wonderful Aunt Tara.

Yeah for Baby Entertainment

Caroline loves her new jumper. Thank you Grandmama and Grandpapa!

Frank's Birthday

October 26th was Frank's 31st birthday, so to celebrate, we went to his parents' house for dinner. I am so happy to be married to the most wonderful man. Frank is the most considerate, giving, selfless man I have ever met, and I am so grateful that God has given me such an amazing man as my husband. Oh, and Caroline adores her Daddy too.

Caroline's smile just melts our hearts.

At the Pumpkin Patch

Ok Mom, I am so over this!

Caroline's First Taste of Cereal

Concentrating on the camera.

What is in my mouth?

Again, the camera.

This stuff is awesome!

And, I'm spent.

Caroline is now a cereal eating fool.
