Babies and Books

Today was our first day at Babies and Books. It is a class we take once a week that reinforces literacy through, stories, rhymes, music and baby signs. She really enjoyed it and she even tried to clap her hands (well that is what I like to think). What I really liked about the class is that it was fun and mind stimulating and all the while she was learning. After all isn't learning supposed to be fun!

Preview of Family Photos

Our photographer was kind enough to send me a few pictures to hold me over until the rest are ready. So here is a quick look.

Sick

Looks like someone caught their first virus. It is so sad to see and hear her in pain. All she wants to do is sleep. We are giving her plenty of fluids and she still wants to take the bottle so that is good. Despite her not feeling so well she managed to get out a few smiles and some play time. Praying she gets better soon!

Goofy Smile!

Such a lady!

I caught this pic with my cell phone as she was taking a nap in her little vibrating chair. I thought she looked so girly and proper with her little hands.

Seton Soles 1 Mile Walk

Today was the annual Seton Soles 5k/1 mile walk. We opted to do the 1 mile walk this year as we are toting a little one around. She did great and even got her first ribbon! She fell asleep at the very end just in time for the finish line. Looks like we will do the 5k next year.

Our first ouchie...

We went to visit Great Grandma Cline today and enjoyed all the pretty irises. We also got our first boo boo today from a rose bush.





Isn't this the saddest face you have ever seen? She only cried for a brief moment after her encounter with the thorn from the rose bush. She is a tough girl! Look at that big ol' crocodile tear.

And the Zebra Fights Back...

Candy, Smurfs and Smiles

We decided to make a stroll through the small downtown Mckinney shops today. Made a stop at the candy store to get some treats for daddy. We even found one of those old school metal Smurf lunch boxes. Too cute!



Doesn't she just look overjoyed to be taking this picture...

Rock and Roll

Well rolling over is her new favorite thing to do! Here is her showing off her newest talent from start to finish:



Just because...

Stand off with a Zebra and Rolling Over

Grandma White got us this stacking animal set and little one has grown quite fond of the zebra. She will stare at the zebra forever resulting in a standoff until I take it away.



It was a big day today...little one rolled over! She has rolled over before but totally accidental. This was a true rollover. Of course I caught her in the middle of the "official," first rollover. I grabbed my camera as soon as I could. But at least I caught it on video. Hopefully I went get all of it on camera next time.

We can't wait for the next milestone. She loves to grab her toys and her momma's hair. Laughs all the time especially with her daddy. What shocks me most is that she is a morning person. If you know me, you know the morning time and I do not see eye to eye. But ever since piglet came along I look forward to getting up every morning and seeing her sweet smiles. They are so contagious!

This is the outfit daddy bought me as a Valentines's Day gift! Aren't I cute?

Just another day

First Day of Church

Piglet is 12 weeks today!!!

We decided we would take little miss to church this morning but we were a little nervous about a possible baby breakdown. But she did great; in fact she slept the entire time! Despite some other babies that cried...thus starting a crying domino effect. She stayed strong and slept her way through mass.  Our first Easter with our little girl was great and feel so blessed to have her in our lives. 

Easter basket time....she got some candy (for daddy), some clothes, toys and the Snow White DVD!

We also had brunch with Grandma and Grandpa Murphy, Uncle Sean and the Koehns!

Oh, and this is my attempt to be crafty! Marshmallows and white chocolate bunnies!

Just for fun...tennis anyone?

Big Girls Don't Cry...or do they?

Caroline is definitely good at expressing her emotions. With all the cute clothes we have many mini fashion shows. For the most part she likes them.

Tummy Time!

This is not the best quality video as it is from my cell phone. For some reason, she performs whenever the camera is not around. So I had to grab the cell phone. Be sure to turn up the volume. Her little noises are too cute!

Mommy and Me at the Dallas Arboretum

We decided to venture out to Mommy and Me with Aunt Tiffany and Miss Carys. We even had a yummy picnic!

Chapter 1

With a new addition to the family, we thought we would start a blog to keep everyone up to date on what is going on in our world. Especially little miss. She is growing so fast!

We went to visit the Easter bunny at Willowbend and it went pretty well. With the exception of the Easter Bunny nudging me out of the way. Could it be I was being a new overbearing mom?
