First Photo Shoot

This past Saturday, Caroline had her first professional photos taken. Although she wasn't at her happiest, the photographer did manage to capture some cute moments. Check out a preview of her pictures at Cara Crumbliss Photography and let us know which one is your favorite!

4 Month Checkup

Caroline had a great visit with the doctor today. Officially 4 months old, she weighed 15 lbs. 2 oz. and measured 25 1/4 inches long. For those of you who don't memorize every detail about her growth, that is 7 lbs. more than she weighed at birth and almost 4 inches longer. She is quite a big girl...in the 82nd percentile for weight and a little higher for length. Playing before seeing the doctor...of course this is also before two shots.

First Father's Day

Caroline and her dad spent their first Father's Day hanging out at home, followed by a quick shopping trip and dinner out, and then some more hanging out at home. She sported her "dad tattoo" onesie for the special day!

She's always willing to flash a smile for her dad!

Chatty Saturday

Caroline was very chatty in her Bumbo this evening...it was a great opportunity for us to try out the video cameras on our iPhones.

Final Beach Photos

Just wanted to share a few photos from our last night at the beach. We didn't get around to taking a family picture until the last night. As you can see, we really dressed up for the occasion.

The stress really melted off Caroline after her week at the beach as evident by her laid back attitude. She must take after her dad!

Evening on the Beach

Caroline spent some time on the beach after dinner fighting off sleep.

Wednesday at the Beach

Caroline had a busy day on Wednesday including playing on a blanket at the beach and in a bouncy by the pool as the photo below shows. The second picture is from before lunch...

Pool Shark

Caroline enjoyed watching her cousins play pool Tuesday after lunch. She also liked holding the cues.

Duck: Day 2

Here are a few pictures from Caroline's day on the Outer Banks. Having a good time on the beach.
More fun at the beach.

Off to the Beach

Two years ago we flew to Nevis for a week with a backpack and two carry-ons. Last year we went to the beach for a week with two backpack size bags. This year Caroline requires us to fill an entire SUV with gear. I'm sure we forgot something, but as you can see there wasn't room for much else.

Mohawk Surprise

Took this last week after Caroline had a bath...too funny to not share.
