Happy 4 months Caroline

Poor Caroline. She started off the day at the pediatrician's office for her 4 month appointment. Everything checked out great. Her doctor is very impressed with her sleeping habits and the strength in her legs and neck. She loves to stand up and look around at everything. Of course, this is with us supporting her for balance, but she bears a lot of weight on her legs too. She is hitting all of her milestones in great stride. Her laughs and giggles are probably my favorite. I have found her ticklish spot and can get awesome laughs from her pretty much anytime that I want. She weighed in at a whopping 15 pounds, 2 ounces and she is 25.5 inches tall.

I love you Caroline!

I didn't get a picture of her today, but here's a couple from yesterday.


Her hat is a little big in this one, but I think it looks cute. :) She is with her first pumpkin, ready for her first Halloween.

Halloween Parade

Yesterday was the Halloween parade at an assisted living home in Irvine. We met up with all our MOMS Club friends and visited with the residents at the home and then listened to a Halloween story. After that, we headed to a local park for a potluck/party. Caroline dressed up in her Panda costume, but I don't think she was too thrilled with it.

And Julian. He is such a little cutie pie.

Some random posts

A MOMS Club friend of ours is letting us borrow her daughter's jumparoo. She gave it to us yesterday and I set it up this morning and let Caroline try it out. Even though she's still a bit too small for it (her feet don't quite touch), I let her try it out and she had a ball in it.



And last night she slept for 13.5 hours! She crashed out at her normal bedtime of 8 p.m. and aside from her usual fuss around 5 a.m. for her pacifier, she didn't wake up until 9:30 a.m. I had actually started to go in there to wake her up to feed her because I felt like this was maybe too long for her to go without eating. I'm going to check with her doctor about this. She usually sleeps a good 10-12 hours anyways, but 13.5? Wow!

Friday at the park

Yesterday Caroline and I went to the park and just hung out for awhile. The weather was really warm - upper 80's to low 90's - so it was a nice day to be at the park. We took a walk on the trails for a bit then found a nice shady spot and put down a blanket. We laid on the blanket and read a few books and Caroline checked out the leaves and the many huge birds that were flying overhead. I took a few pictures of her.





I love her faces that she makes.

I just can't resist

My nephew scored his first TD last weekend and my brother was lucky enough to catch it on video.
Go, Fisher, Go! (He's #6 on the yellow team.)

Sunday at the Punkin Patch

Caroline accompanied us to the pumpkin patch today. I carried her in the front carrier with her facing out and she absolutely loved it! This is only the second time that she's faced out and she is getting better at it. She gets such a great view of everything and she really soaks up everything that she sees. She kicked and cooed her way through the park. We went through a kiddy hanunted house, saw kids on pony rides, did a maze, watched the mini railroad, walked around the duck pond - there was so much for her to see. She had a blast!

Angels in the outfield

Last night we took Caroline to her first baseball game. The Texas Rangers were playing the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Caroline seemed to enjoy watching the jumbotron. She did pretty well for most of the game and slept through part of it.

Grandpa Boltz is visiting us from South Carolina and he went with us and took these pictures.
