3 Months

Caroline is 3 months now...wow, time flies.

She went to the dr. the other day and she is now...

Weight: 11 lbs 14 oz. (50th%)
Height: 23 3/4 in. (50th %)
Head: 15 in. (10-25%)

She is doing all kinds of fun things these days.
*This morning I woke up to her "talking" to herself in bed. I listened for about a 1/2 hr and then went in to see her with the hugest grin on her face. I love the morning when she is all smiles. *She is grasping things now. I lay her on her little floor mat and she grabs her toys. She also likes to hold on to my clothes when I am nursing her...and the blanket, which often leads to her exposing her mommy. Oh well. We are still waiting for her to grab her feet. She kicks them a lot and looks like she wants to grab them, but just can't quite figure it out. *She gets so mad when I put her on her tummy. It only lasts about 2 minutes before she is screaming. She can lift herself,  but no rolling over yet. *She is so easy to put to bed at night. Around 7 she starts to get fussy. I give her a bath, feed her, wrap her up in her blankie, and then it's off to bed. Usually it's around 8 and then we don't hear from her till 8 or 9 the next day. She takes a little nap in the morning and then a longer one in the afternoon. *She giggles every time I make any sort of noise with my mouth. I just love her little laugh. I need to get it on video. *Whenever strangers talk to her she either coos back at them...or cries. I guess she knows who she likes and who she doesn't. 

Tom and I talk about how cute she is every night before we go to bed. We just love her so much and can't  imagine life without her. She has been a huge blessing in our life. I am so glad that Tom is willing to work so hard so I can stay home with her. I can't imagine if I had to let  someone else take care of her. I get anxiety just leaving her for 2 hours. The first month of her life was pretty hard, just figuring out what she wanted and such, but now...she's a piece of cake. 

I tried to take just one 3 month picture...but I ended up getting a bunch that I liked. She's just too cute!










On Halloween. I figured it was pointless to dress her up any more than this. :)

Fall Trip to the Cabin

This past weekend Tom and I took Caroline upstate to his Uncle and Aunts cabin. It was so nice to finally relax with Tom since he works so much. The leaves had changed and it was so beautiful. We love fall! 

Beware! I took LOTS of pictures!!





























Random Pictures

A few random pictures from the 2nd month of Caroline's life. 


I think she looks like such a big girl in jeans...this is her first time wearing them :) 


Does this diaper make my butt look big?....yes, but it's cute! :) 


Exploring her toy that Aunt Elizabeth gave her. 


See...she likes silk, just like her mother. She tries to eat it! Ha!


What a cutie!


I just want to pinch those cheeks! 


Bath time...getting so big!


All tuckered out after playing with her toys.

THE NUMBERS ARE IN

We took Caroline to the doctor today for her 2 month check up (a couple weeks late, oops). She got her DTaP shot and did GREAT! Barely even cried...much different then when she got the Hep B shot.

Here are the numbers:

Height: 23 in
75th percentile (up from 1 mo. 50th%)

Weight: 11 lbs 4 oz
50th percentile (up from 1 mon. 25th%)

HC: 15in.
25th percentile (up from 1 mo. 10th%)

So...I guess she is long, average weight, and a small head. 


I just think she is adorable!! :)

What do you think???

Cute as a Button

Caroline is getting so big! She'll be 2 months old on Monday! Isn't she just so cute!?!?

Caroline ....

loves her pacifier...but only the Avent one that we got for free when we registered at BuyBuy Baby :)
can sit in her Bumbo now
loves to move around...if we aren't doing anything she cries
loves it when I talk to her...she just looks at me like she understands everything I'm saying :)
she loves to look out the car window
she makes silly faces when we give her a bath...and she tries very hard to drink the water
and...I'm convinced she loves her silk blanket, just like her mommy!







This is how Caroline let's us know she is hungry

GRRRR......










I can't decided which would be worse...owning a house and having to fix this myself, or renting and WAITING for the landlord to fix this! Their washing machine seems to be seeping water through the wall and floor into our apartment. All my shoes and anything else that was left on the floor in the closet is covered in green fuzzy mold! The walls...covered in a dark black mold. All of this is in Carolines room. It smells horrible and I know mold is very bad for us...so Carolines room is now in the living room and her room has been locked up. Very inconvenient. They are going to need to rip out the wall and put up new sheet rock and put in new carpet. AHH!!! So annoying!
