The many faces of Caroline



She may have her cranky moments (and who doesn't?) but one thing this little girl is not lacking is personality. She is so funny and makes me laugh all day! I try to get picturesof all of her funny faces...here are a few!





She got stuck under the exersaucer and her mean mom wanted to take a picture before helping her out. :)


sleep, glorious sleep :)

At 6 months, Caroline started sleeping through the night....about 11 or 12 hours. It was fantastic! Then came teeth. She has gotten 4 teeth in a row, had a cold for a month (on and off) and learned to stand, but not get down. These things all lead to one thing...no sleep for mom and dad! Poor girl would wake at night for whatever reason, stand up and then scream because she couldn't get down. I am happy to say that she can (finally) get her cute self down on her own! We have had to let her cry a bit at night, but she is sleeping again. Yay for sleep!

Snow day

This morning we woke up to a couple inches of snow! It put a damper on our plans for the day, but we are just staying in and keeping warm instead. Caroline didn't mind the snow. I think she wanted to play in it, but I didn't want her to freeze. The dogs have been enjoying it too!

Time flies...

Then (6 weeks old)Now (8 months old)

Everyone says that when you have kids time passes quickly and I never knew exactly how true that was until now. I really can't believe how big our girl is getting. She is crawling all over the place, pulling up on everything she can find (which means falling too...scary for mom!) and even taking a few steps while holding on to things. She can sit up on her own now (getting there from her belly), has her two bottom teeth, and is about to get the top two (I can see them and I know they are going to pop through soon). I even scheduled her first birthday party (May 2nd at the Little Gym for those interested!) which isn't for a few months, but will be here in no time!!


You can kind of see one of her teeth in this picture.

Oliver

Most people who know us know our dogs. They are a big part of our family. Many people told us that when we had a baby our dogs would be less of a priority...well, they were wrong. :) Annie is our sweet girl and Oliver is the crazy (and I do mean crazy) boy. He can be a handful sometimes (well most of the time), but he is such a sweet dog. Anyway, I was looking through old pictures on our computer and came across these. They made me laugh out loud so I thought I would share!
He really thinks he is a person.

Can you tell he likes to get close?

CA continued...







More of Christmas

After we open all of our gifts and have a nice breakfast, we head on down to Martinez to celebrate the holiday with the McCulloughs. Going there and seeing everyone is one of my favorite Christmas traditions.Happy family!
Katrina and I (notice her halo)...people have always mistaken us for sisters.

I think this may be the only picture I have where Brian is not birding me. :)Awww...he loves her. :)
The boys (and Kat) smoking cigars.
Standing up like a big girl.
