Paci time!

Caroline LOVES her paci's. We have been trying to only let her use them during nap and bedtime but she manages to somehow find a way to have them at other times. Recently she found out where Blake and I keep her paci's and she went to the basket this morning and pulled them all out. She would not let go of them! It was too cute not to take a picture.

Here's a couple of her crawling around playing...notice she has yet to let go of her back up paci's!!!


And here's a cute picture we took of her on Sunday while riding in the car!

We hope everyone is having a great week so far!

Santa Clause is coming to town!

Waiting patiently in line to see Santa!..

Me and my Grandma!

She wasn't sure about him at first...

But she quickly warmed up to him...

And even told him that she wanted pacis, toys, formula, and diapers for Christmas! He said he would see what his elf's could do!

Our Thanksgiving Day!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving yesterday! We all slept in (thank you Caroline for letting mommy and daddy get an extra hour of sleep!) and then we made waffles for breakfast! After breakfast, we got ready and went to my parents house to hang out for the day. Last night, we went to my brothers house for the Thanksgiving meal. It was so yummy!!! My brother smoked a turkey and between my granny and my mom we had all of the trimmings to go along with it! Even Caroline enjoyed the meal! After we ate, my niece and nephew were so excited to show Caroline all of their toys....and they all gave us a fashion show!!! None the less we had a great time hanging out together. Here are some pics from our night!


This next pic cracks me up! It looks like she was saying the blessing with us!!!

Teething + no nap =

She's even cute when she's mad!!!

10 months old

Caroline, you are 10 months old today. Mommy and daddy can’t get over how quickly you have grown up and that in 2 short months you will a year old. You are such a beautiful little girl and we thank God everyday for allowing us to be your parents. Here’s what you are up to these days…


You love your bathtime…it’s become one of the favorite parts of your day!

You eat 3 stage 2 fruits and veggies a day with yogurt, meat, puffs, and 3-4 7oz bottles

You say “Ma-Ma” all the time but have yet to say “Da-da”….it kind of hurts dads feelings but we all know one day you’ll say his name!


You love waving to people and saying “bye-bye”

You are wearing 9m clothes but will soon be wearing 12m sizes

You sleep all night in your room from 7:30pm-7:00am. You’ve always been a wonderful sleeper and we hope you keep it up!

At home you take 2-3 naps during the day….At daycare you don’t sleep but about 30 minutes during a 10 hour day. I guess it’s because you have too many friends to be playing with…who knows!

Your paci is your best friend. You always have to have it and we don’t leave home without it. Mommy is already dreading the day she has to take it away from you.

You also love holding onto a little blanket…too cute!


You have 2 bottom teeth.

You are crawling all over the place and love to pull yourself up. You can’t yet stand by yourself but you are very close!

You laugh and squeal when someone plays peek-a-boo with you

You are the best shopper. I always have people comment about how good you are in your stroller or in a cart. You love to just look around at everything and everyone.

We love watching you grow and learn new things around you. You are an absolute joy to be around and we miss you every second we are away from you! We love you!

Benefits of shopping with my Grandma!

Today Caroline and I met up with my mom at Mall of Georgia to shop for a holiday dress for my work Christmas party. I asked mom to tag along with me because it's hard to shop and try on things by myself with a 9 month old. Don't get me wrong...Caroline is the BEST shopper and doesn't hardly make a peep but it's much easier to get things done with another set of hands on deck! We had a good time and found some good deals! We ran into Santa a couple of times and had a few other cute "picture moments" but I forgot my camera...go figure! Caroline loves for Grandma to tag along because grandma is such a sucker for buying her things. We let Caroline do her first build-a-bear and she loved it! (again, would have been a good time to have a camera!!!) She got a moose and she sings "Frosty the snowman". Caroline really loves Mickey and Minnie right now. Everytime she see's them on TV she goes nuts so when we walked into JCPenny and saw these big Christmas Mickey and Minnie she was smiling from ear to ear. It also sings "Here comes Santa Clause". So cute! I'm so ready to start putting up my Christmas decorations. Christmas is my favorite holiday and I can't wait to see the look on Caroline's face once we get everything put up. I have so many memories of Christmas as a child and I can't wait to start some of the same traditions with Caroline.

Happy Friday!

Happy Friday everyone!!! Work has been so busy this week so I'm ready for the weekend to be here so I can relax! I have no new pictures to post since I've been so busy this week...haven't had time to snap a few of my cutie! I thought I would update on what is going on in our lives these days! Caroline is sick yet again. I picked her up on Wednesday from daycare and she felt extremely hot so I checked her temp when I got home and it was 103. I was determined that it was still her ears since we've had so much trouble with getting them to clear up. Since Blake was off on Thursday, he took her to the dr's office. They said that she has a viral infection and we will have to let it run it's course. She also has bumps in the back of her throat so she's got a sore throat....guess that's why eating and drinking her bottles have been so difficult lately! Daddy stayed home with her again today since I had a lot to catch up on at work. I'm hoping after resting for a couple of days that the fever will go away. More importantly, I'm ready for Caroline to get out of this every other week sickness.

Our good news is my mom went for her 2 week follow up appointment and she found out that the cancer did not spread!!! I am so excited for her. She has been through a lot this year and hearing 4 weeks ago that she had cancer was not the news any of us wanted to hear. But thankfully after 2 surgeries, the dr's were able to remove it all and she is cancer free. We are thanking God for answering our many many prayers and for allowing mom to have such a great outcome!

Have a great weekend! I promise to put some pics up soon.
