Caroline 2 months!

Our Sweet Caroline,

You're two months old today. In a blink of an eye you've grown from a snuggly newborn to a wiggly, squirmy, smiley two month old! You're smiling regularly at us now and I'm pretty sure your daddy and I both turn into big piles of goo when you do. You love your big sister Kendall and we're really working hard with her on boundaries. Her tongue may or may go too closely to your constantly open mouth. Yikes. You celebrated your first Halloween, helped your Aunt Beth and Uncle Lam move into their new home, celebrated your Nana's birthday, helped mommy decorate for Christmas, you also had your first date with your MiMi and GPop and Nana while mommy and daddy went to Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood. We loved our night out but missed our sweet girl. You love being swaddled, looking at Christmas lights, being outside, your MAM pacifiers, and cuddling. You're liking bath time more and more and love when the space heater is on to keep you toasty warm while doing your baby massage. You are a precious gift Caroline and we love you to the moon and back.

Caroline's Highlights:

-8lbs 15oz
-22 inches long
-Eating 4oz of breast milk and then 2 1/2-3 hours later 4oz of formula until we can get you all caught up. Almost there baby girl almost there!
-Typically you sleep from 9-2ish we wake up and feed and then you sleep until daddy's alarm goes off at 6. Hoping to drop this middle of the night feeding once we get you all caught up. Mommy has to wake you up stinker.
-You nap in the mornings for a couple of hours, the early afternoon, and early evening right after daddy gets home.














These three are going to get in trouble someday! The big one being the ring leader. :)

Caroline and her baby BFF Shelby! These two were born a week and a day apart, Shelby's big sister and I spent a lot of time together--I was her nanny for almost two years--their mom and I found out we were pregnant the same week and our original due dates were only a day apart! Sweet sweet girls!

Caroline you've had a busy second month! In your third month you'll be even more busy, we love watching you learn and grow and can't wait to see what the Lord has in store for you!

These Are a Few of My Favorite Things...My Wish List!



Participated in this link up last year and so excited to be in it again! These are a few of my favorite things that are on my Christmas list. 




I need a canvas of our sweet new family of three yes yes I do. 



These adorable Toms wedged booties. I love love love them and need them. Ok, maybe not need but really want them. :)


Because a girl can never have enough monogrammed items. 

Again with the monogram. Woopsies 

The babe and I need matching headbands.

Elise called this gift card the triple threat and I couldn't agree more. 



That's my wish list, bring it gift givers!

It's Friday..

It's Friday Friday Friday! We love Fridays around here, it means daddy stays home and plays with us all day! 

Lots of fun things happened this week! 

1) Momma got a big girl camera. Our point and shoot just wasn't cutting it anymore for Miss Caroline so we upgraded to a DSLR. We ended up going with the Nikon D3200. 

2) One of our local radio stations made the switch to all Christmas music some say it's too early, but this girl who has her Christmas tree up already says BRING IT ON. Judge away folks, judge away.

3) Y'all this momma melted into a pile of mushy gooeyness. 
4) So I ran out of mascara this week and went to Target in search of a new mascara to try. I picked up the ELF mascara for $3 and it's by far one of my new favorites. And for a lot less expensive like 6 times less expensive then my Merle Norman mascara. 

5) Today is my wonderful mother in law's birthday. We are about to shower, pack up, and hit the road for Hickory for a fun weekend of celebrating! So lucky to have an amazing mother in law to celebrate!

Caroline's Newborn Session

Our sweet sweet Caroline....I promise not to upload all 63. ;) But seriously who couldn't use a dose of ooey gooey newborn preciousness. She's currently beside me a swaddled up taking a snooze in her rock n play but it's killing me not to scoop her up and snuggle her. Glad she'll be due to feed soon. 











We love you to pieces precious girl. We're so thankful the Lord chose us to be your mommy and daddy. I'm not sure either of us could love you more!
