It's Hard Being Little, People--
















Little bit has what I would call her first real cold. And we hope it's just that. A runny nose and a low grade fever are the main symptoms but last night she was up most of the night. Sweet little thing has had some potty problems too. Though she is loving the sweet potatoes, sweet peas, pears, oatmeal, rice and butternut squash she has been chowing on, the food plus formulat I guess is making it harder and harder for her to use the bathroom. But, as you can see from the above pics, her precious little personality and spirit are still high!! She is smiling and playing all the time. Yesterday we played Where's Caroline and the sweet little thing would pick up her head and look at me when I said Where's Caroline!! She loves peakaboo, but is getting bored with "old" toys. She wants whatever I have....the remote or telephone mainly...two of the dirtest things in our home. I told Mom I was going to buy her a remote just to have. I did buy her a cell phone...pretend that is. But already she loves it!!! Just like her Mama--talking is just what we were meant to do!
As for the lives of the Bensons, not much except lovin this little sack of love!! Last week I took her to Clix Photography in Marietta and for a 10 buck sitting fee had the cutest little pics taken!! I am about to start working on Christmas cards. The above jacket I got for 10 bucks at Babies R Us!! Too cute for 10 bucks!! Love a good deal! What else has been going on??? Nothing that I can think of at the moment....Will write again when something strikes!

Getting Ready For My First Halloween!!

There's Nothing Scary about this Trick or Treater!!!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!!
Well it was little bit's first Halloween and she went as an Angel mainly because that is what she is to her Daddy and me. Thanks to Gay-Gay for making the precious costume!!! We had a night filled with short house visits...no candy for little bit but none-the-less it was a great reason to take some precious pics!!! We visited The Williams, Grandaddy Benson, and The Nagodes. Caudill and Tracy came over later to see her dressed up. Unfortunately though, the weather was pretty crappy in Atlanta so we didn't have a ton of trick or treaters. All in all a very fun night!!!

She did not like getting dressed....ironic she was dressing as an angel and alarming the neighborhood while she did it~~~

Caroline is looking for Grandma Lynn. She took PaPa Spencer to West Palm and missed her VIP trick or treater!!! We missed her too!!











Caroline wanted so badly to put Mary Catherine's hat in her mouth~~~


Mary Catherine getting her back!!!





Thanks Gay-Gay for all your efforts!!!!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!


This picture blurred on me...but glad we got to catch up guys!!! Maybe we can visit D.C. soon Tracy!!!

Today was FUN!

Thought the above picture was toooo funny!! Her eyes are SO BIG and I am sure it is because I am making a strange sound in order for her to look at the camera!!! Now that is what I call shocked! Bless her little heart.....I won't do that sound anymore! I'm just gonna say....Say Cheese Caroline!
Playing with her Daddy was never more fun!!

This was actually taken last week....Wook at my belly!!!


Mama You're Funny!





Sitting Pretty, Eating, and Getting a Tooth-6 Months ROCKS!






Well-little bit is growing up too fast. It has already been six months. So weird to even think of what my life was like before her. She has brought so much JOY to us I can't even describe it. She got a TOOTH last week!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Precious thing still chewing on EVERYTHING but we also welcomed another one on the bottom over the weekend. She never ran a fever or had a runny nose. She just cried a little more and woke up more during the actual night it broke through. And we also started rice and oatmeal with her. We mixed a few pears and apples in there too. She tastes and then spits most of it out. But none the less-she is now "eating" some real if that's what we're gonna call it food. Here are a few of my favorite pics!

Such a fun weekend had by all in Knoxville TN. Meredith, a dear friend and college roomate invited us to spend the weekend with them in Knoxville for the UT/ Auburn game! What a great time had by all. We tailgated and the weather and campus were beautiful.....and most importantly we got to meet that PRECIOUS Mary Reagan!!!! So adorable and yummy. She is two months younger than Caroline. They will be friends for sure!!! She sure is blessed to have such wonderful parents in Kent and Meredith!!! Thanks again for a fun time~!! And be sure and tell Corrine and Belinda thanks again for taking such good care of the babies.....



Sitting Pretty and Saying Goodbye to that Precious Boppy Chair!

















Caroline is 5 months and about two weeks and she has been sitting up well now for about a week. It is the cutest I have EVER seen and we are just lovin every minute of it. Unfortunately this means that her favorite chair is about to be retired for sitting like "big" girl!!!! Awe, I will never forget our precious days in that sweet little boppy chair!!!!!!


We are thrilled she is sitting up,though, and she is too!!!!!!

5 months Old!!!









Wow-5 months ago a precious angel from heaven came in to this world and we have been in love ever since. She has come along way from not being able to hold up that precious little head and sleeping ALL the time.


She is now rolling from her back to her tummy and I think she will be sitting up soon. She is reaching for everything and is just such a JOY!!! We love her and she already has such a happy little personality. She is sleeping through the night most nights...She loves her rattles and gets ticked off when they won't fit in her mouth just perfectly. She is just too funny!!!!

The last several weeks





















WEll- the last several weeks and weekends have been VERY busy for the Bensons. Dave has been traveling back and forth to T-town harvesting his corn. Mom has visited, Tori and Bryan visited and then I went to Orlando for a meeting and left lil precious angel for the first time last week....not fun!!!! The meeting itself was actually enjoyable, but getting up to the meeting and the actual separation from Caroline was really stressful. Oh, not to mention I missed the hundred year flood. I was in sunny Orlando...without my camera. The following pics are just some from the last several weeks. Mary and Nathan's wedding. And Caroline in her jumpy. She loves her jumpy!!!!!!! And she is still biting everything in site including those precious toes. The flower in the above pic is her FAVORITE!!! She tries and tries to grab only to get VERY frustrated that it won't come off....too funny.
