Uncle Nicky

We got a wonderful surprise this afternoon! Nick Holten and Tanner Spry flew in to Fort Hood for the day and we got to meet up with Nick for dinner. I think he was very smitten with Miss Caroline (and I think she was very fond of him, too!). =) We didn't get to see Tanner this time and we're sure sorry we missed him! Here are some pics from tonight. Enjoy!

Snuggling with Nicky. . .and cooing up a storm!

Getting ready to go home

Getting some lovin' from Grammy before bedtime

I love my Grammy!

Sleeping beauty (thanks, Jayme for the adorable onesie!)


Tummy time



Milk coma!

Sleep!

Caroline slept 6 (SIX!) hours last night between feedings! WOO HOO! Yay for getting baby on a schedule and double Yay for some uninterrupted sleep for me! Let's hope this becomes routine! Here are a few pictures from our time playing with the gym. =)

Bathtime Snuggles

Caroline just loves to snuggle after her bath!


Squeaky clean!


I love my Grammy!


Daddy really missed me!

Pictures from the first 3 weeks

First Bath

I'm about 2 weeks late on posting these pictures, but I was finally able to download the pics from my Mother-in-law's camera. Caroline didn't enjoy her first bath, but she has grown to like them. She always pees in the water, though. =)

Tummy Time

Caroline is getting so good at holding up her head, so I tried to have a little "Tummy Time" with her the other day. You can see how that went. . .=) Thanks Great Auntie Carol for my "I Spy" quilt!

Patio

Ryan and his Dad decided to take on a home improvement project while his parents are here. They started the arduous task of tiling our front and back patios. Ryan was gone to New York for a week, so that job kept Grampy (and Grammy, too) VERY busy! Thanks for all your hard work. . .its looks GREAT! The back is totally done and Grampy even bought a beautiful fall tablecloth and candle to celebrate the project's completion and the season! The front is almost done. . .I'll post more pictures of it when its complete!

Bouncer

Caroline just loves napping in her bouncer! Thanks Pawpaw! It won't be long before we'll be taking out the newborn insert. . .she's getting so big so quickly! Where did these past 3 weeks go? It seems like just yesterday we were bringing her home from the hospital. Ahh, memories. =)

Camera

So, we bought a new video camera several months ago with the intention of capturing Caroline's birth. Things got hectic in the delivery room and that didn't happen. The camera also takes still shots, but we still haven't gotten the hang of taking good pictures with it. I couldn't find the old camera (maybe it got lost in the move) and I was tired of not being able to take tons of pictures of my baby, so I just went out and bought a new camera! =) Now I have no excuse for not posting pics more often. =) Pics to follow. . .

We Miss You, Daddy!

Ryan has been gone TDY to New York since Sunday and we sure are missing him (and I know he's missing us)! Here are a few pictures to tide him over until he can come home. . .

Junior Cavalry Trooper


Atleast I have more hair than Daddy! =)
