ONE year ago today!

I can't believe it! It was one year ago today that that little stick said, "PREGNANT"!!!!! I can't believe it's been a year and Caroline is finally here. It was a long journey and the Lord has shown us His faithfulness over and over. She is such a blessing to us! We are so thankful for you, Caroline!

Granny gave you a bath!

It is a tradition in David's family that Granny (David's grandmother) gives all the babies their first baths. It started with her first grandbaby and has continued through all the great-grandbabies (with 2 more incubating at the moment!) Caroline is number 8! Since, it took so long for Caroline to lose her cord, it didn't work out that Granny was able to give Caroline her first bath. But, this past weekend, Papa and Granny came to visit and she was finally able to give her a bath! The pictures are below. It was a fun time! Caroline really enjoyed it!

I Love.....

-to watch you grab and play with your paci. You just figured out how to pull it out of your mouth, but you haven't quite figured out how to get it back in yet.

-to take pictures with you. You are so gorgeous and I am so proud to be your Mommy!

-to see you with your Papa (David's grandfather). You really enjoyed him and he really enjoyed you too!

-to see you with your Granny! You really had a blast with her when she and Papa came to visit last weekend. (She finally got to give you a bath...those pictures are to come.)

-just how cute you are! Daddy gave you these rings to keep you from taking your paci out of your mouth and you fell asleep with them in your hand. Too cute!

-to watch you play with your new exersaucer that our friends, the Lindstroms, let us borrow. You love it! You spin all the little toys and also spin all the way around in it.

-your new paci. You are "God's Child" and we are so glad He blessed us with you!

-to watch you suck your thumb. We really don't want you to get attached, but it's so cute when you do it!

-the way I found you sleeping the other day with your hand on your knee. You are too cute!

-how Daddy has to make sure he puts a toy in your pocket for you to play with.

-you! You are just too cute and we are enjoying you more and more each day! You are such a precious, wonderful, loving baby. I love you, sweet Caroline!

-to watch you playing with your exersaucer. It is just so much fun to watch you figure out all the toys!

-going on walks with you! We took a very pretty walk the other day and you just loved looking around at nature! You also loved playing with my sunglasses!
