Pinky the Poodle and Mommy

Caroline is almost over a nasty respiratory infection that came on last Wednesday. She woke up with a slight cough and fever that developed quickly as the day progressed. Mommy, ever watchful, was ahead of the game and got Caroline to the doctor and started on medication early on. Although she was sick, Caroline gave it her all to maintain her cheerful spirit and sunny disposition. She was a bit clingy but never cranky. On Thursday, her fever was still a little high. As a precaution, the doctor sent Caroline to the hospital for an RSV swab. It wasn't long after we got home that the nurse called to say the test was negative! We were relieved to hear this good news. By Friday, sweet Caroline started to feel a little better. Mommy sent me a video today and you can tell by the way Caroline is jumping that she is almost as good as new! See the video top right of our sweet baby girl as she works off a little steam! What I would do for a mere thimbleful of her energy!!

Caroline's Serious Side

Nine Months Old

It's so amazing to watch our NINE month old Caroline! She is such a big girl, performing all sorts of new tricks every day. Caroline now has five teeth with another waiting to errupt any day now...they're sharp too. When she leans in to me to give me a sweet bye bye smooch, I sense her hesitation as she decides whether to smooch or bite!

Caroline has started making clicking noises in the back of her throat as well as says dahdahdah over and over!  Sometimes when I bounce her on my knee, she will hum to herself if she is sleepy. When you getchie goo her or tickle her, she will wrinkle her nose and turn her head to the side very quickly as if she is is teased. Caroline is no longer an arm baby that likes to rock and snuggle. After she has her bottle, she is either ready to romp or squirms to be put in her big girl bed for her nap. She still sputters sometimes when she eats but it's mostly when she's full or is protesting the green beans she's being fed! Caroline loves to go outside in her stroller to watch Ace and Deuce run and play. She will actually tremble with excitement when they come close for a sniff. In the afternoons, we watch for Mommy or Daddy to come home. When she sees their vehicle come up the drive, she will bounce furiously and wave her arms to welcome them home.

Happy Furst Balemtime's Day Caroline!

Happy Birfday Daddy!

 

What better way to spend down time than with your favorite guy in his favorite chair!! Caroline loves her Daddy's recliner almost as much as he does. It's her favorite place to curl up and watch Wheel of Fortune! She's a Wheel Watcher....Mommy sent me this picture a while back and I wanted to save it for a special day which happens to be tomorrow, Feb. 9th. A very important person is celebrating a birthday! Yay Daddy! Caroline asked me to blog birfday wishes to her Daddy and she also added don't be late with it either! So here's wishing Daddy an early Happy Birthday from Caroline and the rest of the gang. Hope your day is super dooper good and chocked full of happy thoughts! PS......Check out the new video at the top right. Our little papoose is pulling up!

Happy 30 Birfday to Mommy!



Happy Birthday Lindsey!

Another busy week to add to the blog! Wednesday, Caroline and I planned to give Mommy an early birthday party since they were going to Nawlins for the weekend. We began our errands shortly after Mommy and Daddy left for work. We ran to get a quick oil change then went to Gift Shaker to get Mommy a present. By then it was time for lunch so we had a fast jar of sweet taters and fruit for dessert. We then went to the Village bakery for a yummy carrot cake and cookies. Good thing Caroline got a car nap in cause we had a lot of things to do! Mommy came home from school and we had everything hid in the guest room. Later in the evening, Mommy decided to run get a pedicure (thank goodness) and pick up some salads for us. While she was gone, Caroline and I quickly put everything out on the kitchen table. When Mommy came in, she was so surprised! We had fun, the cake was delish, and Caroline enjoyed helping open presents!

Friday morning, on Mommy's big THREE OH birthday, Mommy and Daddy dropped Caroline off at Granny and Papaw's house then left for Nawlins. (This was the first overnight visit for Caroline away from Mommy and Daddy.) I took Caroline to Mimi and Papaw Danny's house Saturday to finish out the weekend. We all had such a great time with Caroline in between calls from Mommy! Lol!! I can't wait for Daddy's birthday this week so Caroline can come for another weekend visit...hint, hint!! We love you Mommy and hope your birthday weekend was as special to you as you are to us!
