Memorial Day and Happy 1 Month!

My Baby is growing like a weed!! She was 4weeks on Monday! Hasn't she grown!!!!!!!!!!!! We are so in love and watching her change daily. Alert, Alert, Alert!!!! She is focusing and looking all around and evening smiling at me! I could literally eat her!

Caroline's First Road Trip!

Ok-So, I ventured out of Atlanta onto 285 and then 85 with the help of my dear Mother-in-law as the escort on a quest for Tallassee. Caroline did a marvelous job going down to T-town and visiting her NIECES!!! This was Caroline's first trip to Tallassee and her first chance to meet Emma Kate and Taylor. As you can see from the pics, the look on their faces when they first saw her was priceless! They oohhed and awed for HOURS! Fighting over who was going to get her passy or diaper. We really had a great week!!!

Thanks for your help girls!

Caroline Changed her mind about Bath Time!

OK-so a Leah Litton gave me the advice of heating up the room when bathing the baby. And the other night, Dave and I did just that. We put a floor heater in the kitchen and bathed her on the bar making it VERY warm in the room. She loved it!! The pic above is her trying to find the passy!

Caroline Doesn't Like Bath Time!

Love this picture, though, getting to this was a little stressful. This was only her second bath and she was a little unsure of the process!

Caroline's First Play Date

Last week one of my good friends, Allison, brought her little girl over to "play" with Cara! As you can see, not much playing went on mostly sleepin!

Growing Everyday!

Caroline is changing literally everyday!! I snapped this while she slept last night after dinner with the Bensons and thought it was too cute! She slept and slept only to awaken later on in the evening......

A Mother's Day to Remember

WEll-yesterday was my first Mother's Day. It started with a feeding, we went for a walk, and then we got all dressed up for dinner at the Bensons and ate Shrimp Newberg a Benson specialty. On Saturday, Davie and I took Caroline out for the afternoon. We went to Target, and then strolled around the Avenues, an outdoor mall. We live literally two minutes from the shopping venues so taking her out was really quite easy. What beats the baby blues....a trip to Banana Republic to pick out your Mothers Day gift. Thanks Dad! Oh and Thanks Mom and Robin for the adorable outfit. A little big but sooooo cute!!!

A day in the life of Caroline

These were taken during her first week at home. So precious! So tiring! So wonderful! As you can see we didnt do a lot last week except snuggle and love and I attempted to master nursing. Although, she did have her first doctors appointment which was a little nerve wracking. Lets just say that didn't treat Caroline as delicately as Dave and I do. They were flipping her and tossing her about. Nearly gave me a heart attack! The good news....she is healthy and just right! Other than that, I sat in a chair most of the week recovering and she ate and slept. What else is there to do? She is living the good life!

Happy Birthday Caroline!

Caroline is one week old today!! Here are a few pics from last night with her sweet Daddy. He has been helping me every step of the way.

Caroline Grace Benson is HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Monday April 27, 2009 Caroline Grace Benson was born. She is our precious little bundle of joy. I think she is a combination but mostly looking like her cute Daddy! These pics range from Day 1-5 of her short little life. Leaving for hospital, and coming home etc! 5 days of life transformation!!!!!!! Who would have thought so much love could go in to one little human being. My air card would not work in the hsopital so that is why these were a little late. Mommy and Daddy have also been WIPED out. The hospital was superfantastic and the staff was excellent. From the check in lady to the techs and the nurses, Northside really is the best!

I have not taken my eyes off of Caroline, literally, and bet I haven't slept more than 6 hours in the past 72. I am breastfeeding every 2-3 hours and she is loving it!!! She eats for an hour and then she sleeps and then we eat again. She eats and I sleep a little. All the while, one eye closed and on eye on her. Thanks for caring about the new addition to our family! To all of my dear friends, I WILL CALL each of you. I promise! Take Care and Keep Prayin for the New Parents!!!
