Trick or Treat?

The bumblebee (Trey) and strawberry check each other out.

Hmmmm....what's this? I think I'd like it!

Wow! Daddy made smoke out of ice!

Cousins! Introducing Caroline's newest (for a few days, at least) cousin, Anna Frances, pictured her with Aunt Liz, Chuckie, Daddy, and Caroline.

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!

Caroline likes playing with Aunt Carlye and Aunt Buffy, but she's ready for Baby Foley to come out and play.

Check out Grandma's shirt. Do you think she's proud?

Caroline shared Great Grandma Bindel's lap with her brand new second cousin, Theron.

Caroline napped in "her" bed at Grandma and Grandpa's house.

Since sitting is still unstable, Caroline gets support from the Boppy.

The clean baby loves to play with her daddy!

Butterfly Kisses

We all know Caroline LOVES the birdies. She has figured out how to get up close and personal with the birdie on her playmat. She just grabs him and pulls him closer, knocking the mat arches off kilter. I took a couple of pictures then the little ham stopped playing to look at the camera and SMILE!

Family Reunion

Here's Caroline having some fun with Uncle Tony and Aunt Mary (and Sophi, too).

Caroline tried out her cage and liked it!

Daddy doesn't stink at all! His armpits are quite the comfy nap spot.

Baths are fun!

Caroline hung out with Sophie today. When we first put them in the chair, Caroline stuck her hand in Sophie's mouth. She does that to me all the time. After the picture, Sophie latched on to Caroline's arm. It does look like she could be hiding milk in those arms.

Um, mommy, do you really think it's OK to let me sleep like this?

I like my new toy (except for the spinner...daddy makes it go too fast.)

Pumpkin Patch

Today we visited the pumpkin patch at the Red Barn Garden Center.

That ol' scarecrow doesn't scare Caroline!

Look at my toy!

What perfect timing -- becoming big enough for the swings just as the weather becomes cool enough to play outside!

She sits!

There are some who believe Caroline will crawl soon. (Her mommy is not one of them.)

Nanny rocked Caroline to sleep for an early morning nap.

Caroline attended her first big birthday party today! She seemed to enjoy herself.

Caroline and mommy had fun at Kyla Mae's birthday party.

Some things make me happy!

The Glow Worm makes me sad.

Nanny and Caroline could sit and laugh at each other all day.

Caroline and Nanny, her great grandmother.

Four Month Stats

Caroline had her four-month check-up yesterday. She's a healthy nine-month old! (Ha Ha!) She's 26 inches long, has a head circ of 17 inches -- both putting her in the 95th percentile for her age. She weighs 18 lbs. and six ounces, putting her off the charts! The doctor walked in and asked if I was sure she wasn't six months old, then added that she's the size of a nine-month old. Three more shots have caused some fussiness, but she's OK, especially with all of the attention she's getting from Nanny, Caroline's great-grandma who is staying with us while waiting for the power to be restored in Vidor after Hurricane Rita.

I'm a strawberry! (So what if Halloween is still a month away.)
