You're 7 Months Old!



Oh sweet baby! You turned 7 months old last week! I really can't believe how fast you are growing up! It makes me a little sad at times but it's so exciting to watch you grow and see all the new things you are doing everyday!!! So this is what you have been up to lately....

~You are now babbling "mama", "dada", "baba" and saying "bye,bye" and waving your hand in the air! It is just too cute. Mimi practices with you every morning waving "bye, bye" to us!!!

~You love to eat your Apples & Strawberries, Apples & Chicken, Pears, and most fruits. You've pretty much tried all the fruits, veggies, meats. You used to love your peas but now we have to mix a little fruit in there for you to eat them! And you are NOT a fan of your cereal in the morning!

~You are drooling like crazy and chewing on everything you can find! It's only a matter of time before you have a tooth appear.

~We put you on your belly and you want to crawl but you start kicking your feet and it looks like you are swimming! So I think you might just skip crawling all together and just stand up and walk one day!

~You are taking big girl baths and have been for about a month! (You started sitting up on your own at about 5 months!) and you are trying to pull yourself up in the bath but it's a little to slippery for you to grip the side of the tub!

~You still don't like to cuddle with me but I'm not giving up hope! :) One day you will. For now you like your space! Except of course for when we walk out of the room! You do want somebody in the same room with you at all times!

~You LOVE your Johnny Jumper! Thanks Auntie Lindsay!! It's so cute to see you jumping and screaming with excitment!

~At 6 months 1 week you weighed 14 lbs 10 ozs and were 25 inches long!!!

You are just getting so big and more beautiful every day! It really does amaze me to watch you growing up and changing right before our eyes! We love you very much doodlebug!

It's picture time!!!! 7 months

We recently had DeAnn Arnold take Caroline's 7 month pictures! I think they turned out wonderful! I just love them!

She was being such a little ham!!!


Next outfit!!!


It's tutu time!

This last one cracks me up!!!

We love the work DeAnn Arnold does! We can't wait to see her 1 year pics in a few months :)

Our First Easter!

Easter was so wonderful this year. We didn't get to dye eggs because Caroline is a little too young for that, but we will definately be dying them next year!!! Friday we went over to Caroline's Gamommie & Papaws house to spend time with them and some out of town family. They had an Easter Egg hunt for the kids! Caroline actually picked up a few eggs! It was so cute.

YAY!!!!! She found some eggs!!!

My sweet Family!!

Having fun with her Cousin Isabella!


Sunday we got up really early and went to the 8:30 church service! We put Caroline in the church nursery for the first time. Suprisingly I really wasn't nervous! They were all so sweet! It was so nice to be able to sit through the service without distractions!! The Easter message was wonderful! After the service we went to go pick up Caroline and as were walking in she's sitting by the door looking pretty upset. I asked what was wrong and the ladies said she was hungry! We had just fed her, so it wasn't time to eat!  But they were feeding all the other babies and I think that upset her and she wanted a bottle too!!! So next week we will be bringing a bottle for her!
After church we went to Gigi & Poppis house to open presents! Followed by a yummy lunch at ERCC!
My sweet family!

Her First Easter card

She loved the Easter Eggs!
Giving mommy sugars!

Playing with her eggs!

~We had such a wonderful first Easter!~

Water baby!

This weekend Gigi & Poppi were so sweet and decided to heat the pool so Caroline could go swimming for the first time! Before we got in we walked her over to the pool and she started squeeling and kicking her legs! I think she is going to be on swimteam!!!! :) I'm so glad she LOVED the pool. We will definately be spending a lot of time over there this summer! I'm sure Gigi & Poppi won't mind!
~The precious float Gigi got her!~

She loved it!
Auntie Em came to swim with us!

The precious swim suit Auntie Lindsay gave her! too cute!

~The pool really wore her out! She took a 2 1/2 hour nap and went to bed early! I can't wait for more sunny days by the pool!~
