On the Move!

Caroline rolled over for the first time on Monday! I had been with her for 96 hours straight, and of course, she picked the 30 minutes I was gone running an errand to roll over! Tripp called me and said I missed it, but after I got home she rolled over several more times for me. Little did I know that her Daddy was coaxing her into rolling over by letting her play with his hair and then moving further and further away from her until she was forced to roll over to pull his hair again! It was really funny to watch! She is getting more active everyday. She loves her exersaucer. She tries to pull all of the attachments and get them in her mouth. It is too cute to watch her spin herself around just grabbing at things! This is such a fun time to be Caroline's Mom and Dad!

Hotty Toddy!

This weekend we went to Ole Miss for homecoming. It was Caroline's first trip to Ole Miss. We took her to the Grove before the football game, and she had a great time. She loved tailgating with the other Ole Miss fans, listening to the band play "Dixie", and cheering "Hotty Toddy". She cannot wait to spend her 4 years there for college! This is just her first trip of many to God's country, otherwise known as Ole Miss.

Being an Ole Miss fan is hard work!

Yum, Yum!

This week we started feeding Caroline rice cereal...and she loves it! At first, she had this look on her face like what am I eating, but after a few bites she was reaching for the spoon and trying to feed herself. She is such a big girl now, sitting up in her Bumbo and eating from a spoon. And she is still as precious and sweet as the day she was born, if not more!

4 Months Old!

Caroline is 4 months old today! She is growing more and more everyday. She loves to talk (by that I mean baby babble) and she even laughs! She has discovered her feet, and she thinks they taste great! She had her 4-month doctor's appointment today. She is 26 1/2 inches tall and weighs 14lbs, 15 ounces. She is in the 98th percentile for height and 78th percentile for weight. What can we say, she is a healthy girl!

Family Beach Trip

Last week we had our first family vacation with Caroline. We went to the beach with Puppy and Grandadday Smith and Aunt Bessie and Uncle Jeremy. Caroline had so much fun! She did not get to spend too much time at the beach because it was hot and very windy. But she did get to use her whale float in the bathtub! We had a great time and cannot wait until next year!

New Pics of Caroline

I wanted to post some new pictures of Caroline because she is a growing girl! At her 8-week doctor's appointment she weighed 11 lbs, 12 ounces, and was 24 inches tall. She is growing up so fast! This is a very fun age because she is starting to make facial expressions, and she gives lots of pretty smiles!

Caroline's First Day of School

Today was Caroline's first day at the Trinity UMC daycare. I took her around 9AM this morning. It was very hard to leave her, but she was sleeping so that made it easier. I, of course, left "Caroline's Information Sheet" with her teachers which is a full typed page of instructions! This sheet includes her feeding schedule and instructions for naptime, playtime, and fussy time! I was excited to find out that there are only 2 other babies in her class right now, and they seem very low maintenance! So, there is one teacher for the other 2 babies, and one teacher just for Caroline! When I picked her up at 1pm, the other 2 babies were in swings and both teachers were tending to Caroline. The teachers informed me that she was wearing her 3rd outfit for the day. What can I say, she likes to display her cute wardrobe! She seemed happy when I picked her up (I had already informed Tripp that if she was crying when I got there she would never return!). When she saw me, she gave me a big smile! I was very anxious about today, and I am so thankful that it went smoothly. It is going to be a challenge everyday she goes to daycare for me, so keep the prayers coming!
