Singing in the rain

or walking. I have a really hard time when it rains and is gloomy. I think I might have that disease where you get sad when the weather is bad. Mark says it's called SAD (seasonal affective disorder). We decided to be proactive against this terrible disorder and go on a walk in the rain. I kind of felt like a bad parent taking Caroline in the rain but she loved it! She looked around in wide eyed curiosity the whole time.

As you can see, Mark is very protective of our little girl and made sure everyone would see when we were coming.

Tummy Time

Other Moms keep asking me how Caroline is doing with tummy time. I always tell them that she is doing fine. However, the truth is that I never put her on her tummy! It's not that I don't want to, I just forget! However, today in the midst of all the rain I was trying to think of all the creative things I could do and tummy time was as creative as I could get. She actually did pretty well. :-)

Rain, rain

GO AWAY!

That's all for now.

I can't help myself...

another series of Caroline pictures!

My sweet friend Bethany sent me a bunch of clothes for Caroline. She and I were very excited about the new clothes and she even tried some of them on. OK, I really didn't subject her to trying on clothes....except for just one.

I took her upstairs and asked Mark if he wanted to see something sweet....Introducing Caroline the strawberry. Halloween came a little early.

At first she wasn't quite sure...

but then the smiles emerged!

Labor Day Pictures

Enjoy!

Mark is already trying to teach Caroline to be a cookie monster too!

Good day

Today was a good day and I hope it is the start of a string of them! Caroline and I got up about 8:30 and met my friend Adrienne around 9:30 for a little jog! We then came home and took a little nap together. After Caroline woke up we baked some blueberry bread. She was worn out after that adventure and took another nap. While she napped I folded laundry, prepared dinner and picked up around the house. I'm looking forward to a good dinner shortly and our nightly routine of bathtime and reading! Then off to bed we go....(It sure sounds like we do a lot of sleeping! There were some other events in there like eating, being on facebook, playing with buggy and many more things but that was the basics.)

I have been a little bummed because Caroline hadn't been taking naps and was a little fussy. However, today she acted like how I thought babies were supposed to act. Eating, sleeping, playing a little. It was great! I hope we are on our way to a routine!! Plus, I have learned to better understand when she is tired, when she is hungry and when she just wants some lovin'. I'm thankful for this time with her and hope that we will continue to do well and learn each other!

Sunday afternoon nap...
