SPRING, SPRING, SPRING!

WE LOVE SPRING! Now that the weather is finally warm and pretty we can play outside, and Caroline loves being outside. We were able to take her to the park for the first time. She wasn't too crazy about the slide but she LOVED the swings! Her giggle and squeals were priceless. We started swimming lessons this week and she is a natural! She absolutely loved being in the water, I didn't have a camera person this week, but hopefully this week Nanny Annie will be going with us to hold the camera and you can all see my little fishy next week. So I'm working on the video uploads now, hopefully this works, if not I'll keep on trying. Tonight I'll just be putting up pictures and videos from the park, but keep on checking back this week, I will put up Easter pictures and swimming pictures as they come. We hope that everyone has a great Easter!

Love,

Casey, Sherri, and Caroline

Look mom... no hands!!!
I want to go that way!

She wanted the camera!

I don't think that she was happy about wearing the hat, what do you think?

She LOVES her new car, she wouldn't get out of it on Friday without a fight!
Finally enough hair for a hair bow!
Pizza Crust any one?

Hello everyone! So we now have 2 teeth! Caroline is an expert at sitting all on her own. We had a BEAUTIFUL week, so we were able to take 2 afternoons and go outside for walks! She had so much fun. Everytime we passed a yard with dogs she would start squilling and throwing her arms all around! I think that we are finally getting used to the time change, we did have a very rough week when it came to nap time and bed time! As much as I wanted to be and looked foward to being a mommy, I don't think that I ever really understood how much fun I would have, and that's only the beggining. I am so humbled when I think that God is actually trusting me to raise this beautiful girl. Every day is a new adventure, her smile and laugh are truly enfectious. I sit at work all day long counting down the seconds till I get to see that innocent face again. I really never knew that I could love this much. I have a whole new appreciation and level of respect for my parents. They are who made me the mom that I am. A little ramlily I know, but hey, this is what blogs are for... right? It's very late now, and I am guarented an early morning of smiles and giggles so I think that I should go to bed now. I hope that every one enjoys the pictures this week, I can't wait to tell you what is new next week! I love you all! Have a wonderfully blessed week!

Getting SO big!

Sitting up all on her own!

We love this adorable outfit from GG.

"Okay, I rolled over... Now what?"

"Juice anyone?"

Caroline has had a lot of first's this week! She got her first tooth (finally!). She got her first play room, having our family room has been such a blessing, hopefully we'll be able to completly finish it soon! We love that we have a big, open, dog free place for her to play in, it gives us a huge peace of mind. She is sitting up on her own now. She can finnally play with some of her toys! Before she could sit, we had to put the stuff on her highchair tray and she just couldn't reach as well. She is also rolling over from her back to her tummy. The problem with that now is she seams to have forgotten how to roll over from her tummy to her back, so she gets stuck! Her back half wants to craw, but her front half just is not cooperating! My baby is growing up very quickly. I can not believe that she will be 8 months next week, THAT'S CRAZY!!!!! Well I think that that is enough for this week, I've got some pictures to post now, and I will TRY to put up more as the week goes by. Who knows what this week has in store for us! We love you all!

Piggies!!!!!!!!!!

How cute is my little bunny?! So cute and clean after bath time!

She loves the little butterfly from her Nana and PawPaw

Her cute little valentines outfit.

Ruffle butt!

Big smile!

Another one!

"The elephant fell over..... again..."

"I am so pretty!" (as she looks into her mirror)

Let me see.... We had Carolines 6 month well baby check up ( cant remember if that was before the last time that I posted here) She weighed 16 lbs and 8 oz. and is in the 75th percentile for weight. She is 26 and 3/4 in. long and in the 56th percentile for height. Everything is looking great. She has started making "kissy faces" back at us and she's having lots of fun learning how her lips work... She will be a great zerbert giver! Hope everyone is having a good week, enjoy the pictures!

February

Okay, I know it's been a while... What can I say, Caroline doesn't like me to do stuff that doesn't envolve her! So, I've slacked alittle with the pictures this month. I promise everyone that I'll try and do a better job! We had a Dr.'s appointment yesterday and she is up to 16 pounds and 2 ounces. A big girl now! She likes standing ( with some support of course ) but shes just not interested in crawing. Still no theeth, but there are plenty trying to make there way in. She is so much fun right now. If we pretend to sneeze she cracks up, and she is very tickleish! Here are some pictures from the today. We love you all!

Happy New Year!

"WOAH! That thing is as big as I am!"

All dressed up and no where to go!
GG still knows how its done!

She's a Christmas present herself!

Our first Chrstmas as a family!

I know its sideways, but its a great picture of Caroline and her Great Grandma!

She LOVED her Aunt Shirly!

She never wanted for entertainment this Christmas!

Hello everybody! I know, I know, it's been forever since I've written here. The Holidays were CRAZY! I have never been so tired! Christmas was wonderful. We had so much fun giving Caroline her first Christmas. She got to meet so many new people. Santa treated her very good this year. She got her first doll, a Raggedy Anne doll, and a snuggle blanket, and lots of teething toys. The teething toys couldn't have come at a better time too. While we were in Kansas City we entered into full force teething! NOT FUN! Let's see, what all has happened.... oh.... Caroline finally had her 4 month well baby check up, and at that time she was up to 14 pounds and 8 ounces. We should have her rsv shot this week and I'll get to find out what we are up to now. She is standing on her legs while holding onto something. OH yeah.... she found her voice.... and boy does she use it! She is telling us everything that she hasn't been able to tell us for the past 5 months! Well those are the main points. I'll work harder on getting on here regularly for everybody. Wish me luck! Love you all and Happy New Year!
