I Love...


-your new "Baby's First Christmas 2009" bell ornament we found at Target. It's very special because the Christmas before we got married, David and I exchanged ornaments. The ornament I gave David was actually a set of 2. It is one bride and one groom bell. We were so excited to find you a matching bell for our tree! This is just one of many baby ornaments on our tree!

-how you so sweetly cross your legs while you are breasfeeding.

-just playing with you. You are such a fun baby to play with! I can't wait to see how your personality continues to develop!

-that we got to put your first presents from us under the tree this year! I was so excited when I got them finished and placed them under the tree! Notice the picture of the tag that says "To Caroline, From Mommy and Daddy"!!!!!!!!

-to watch you sleep. Of course, you know that by now, but I still love it so much!

-to give you your baths. We tried a bath in your bumbo in preparation for our trip to Alabama and you liked it too! It's also the first time you played with any toys in your bath. You really enjoyed that!

-how it seemed as if you were going for your presents the other day. You started on your play mat and scooted yourself towards the presents. Too bad you had to wait 8 more days to open them!

-how you just love to be in your bath. Daddy likes to just put your feet in and you enjoy trying to figure out the water.

-watching you play with your toys in your high chair. You are such a good baby! I can put you in your chair while I cook dinner and you will stay there a good while.

-how good you were during the SEC championship game. You had fun playing on your friend, Sadie's playmat. (Roll Tide, by the way!)

-just how cute you look in your Alabama outfit. We had a great time this night when Alabama won the SEC championship!

-how you look in your cute "my first Christmas" onesie that your Aunt Carrie gave you. It's actually a little too small for you.

-watching you put your foot in your mouth and chew on it. It's too cute! I often leave you to play or put you in your carseat and then come to get you and your socks are all wet! ;)

-seeing you sleeping so sweetly in "your" crib at church. This is the first time you slept in your crib there and you slept so sweetly!

-how fun and crazy it was to try to take your Christmas picture! You were so cute! You kept putting your legs up in the air and getting them in the picture, but I got a few good shots! I am so thankful for you!

-to see you smiling so, so big! This is one of your new favorite positions from your Daddy. You love it!

I love you, my sweet Caroline! You are amazing, wonderful, beautiful and so sweet! I am so thankful you are a part of my life!

Milestone Alert!

Can you believe it? Caroline is sitting up! She still topples over sometimes when she reaches right or left, but she can reach forward and sit back up perfectly! I just can't believe it! She's getting so big!

This picture in from the first time we let Caroline sit on her own. She is on the bed at the hotel we stayed in on our way home to NC from Mobile. Sorry for the picture quality! I forgot to take our camera into the hotel so I had to use my phone.

This is Caroline on December 31st after we got home from Mobile. You can see how good she is sitting up in this video. I'm so proud of our little girl!!!

-just how cute you were when I found you after a nap slid down in your positioner. It's not very safe, but you were just so cute!

-how cute it was to see your little feet sticking out from underneath the blanket we had over your swing to help you fall asleep!

-to watch you go for your toes. Your Daddy showed you that you could get them and ever since you just love to go for them!

-that we got to decorate our tree with you. You were so good and you really loved your new Minnie ornament!

-how much fun you had when your Grandpa and Grandma Emigh came to visit for Thanksgiving! It was a great time!

-how good you were when we set the tripod up to get a Christmas picture of all of us. They turned out pretty well. It's hard to get you to look at the camera, though!

-to watch you "reading". ;)

-to see you stand. It's one of your favorite things to do.

-your cute "Taste and see that the Lord is good" outfit. He is so good and we are so blessed to have you in our lives!

-how happy you were when you rolled over for the first time. I was just so shocked! I can't believe you are old enough for that yet!

-to watch you throw your feet in the air. You just love to play with your legs and feet!

-to watch you in your newest position Daddy has put you in. You thought is was fun!

I love you, sweet Caroline!

Caroline's First Outfit

Some of you may remember this post where I told you that we had found out we were going to have a girl and showed you pictures of what we bought her in honor of that day. Here is a picture of the outfit we bought our little Caroline.


I wanted to share some pictures of Caroline in her outfit. Caroline was 16 weeks, 6 days when this picture was taken. She is just so precious! The hat barely fits her and the socks are huge! She is just so cute!

Thank Heaven for Little Girls!

-watching you grab at your toys. This is one of the days that you started on your back and would have made is all the way over if you could have just figured out what to do with your arm.

-how cute it is when the hook on your paci gets turned up.

-just how amazingly beautiful you are! Your smile is so gorgeous!

-how you love to just throw your legs in the air. I don't know why, but you would much rather have them up than laying flat.

-how you enjoy your Grandpa and Grandma Stanford coming to visit!

-how cute you and your Daddy looked the day you happened to dress alike. So cute!

-watching you sleep!

-seeing you in the outfit we bought you the day we found out your were going to be a girl! "Thank Heaven for Little Girls"!

-how cute you look in your new high chair!

-seeing you "walk". You may just walk before you crawl. ;) You have always loved to stand up.

-how your hands looked like a butterfly one morning when I went to get you up because you had been trying to get them out of your swaddle. So cute!

-how you just love your glowworm that Mommy and Daddy got you! It always calms you down.
