Mothers Day

Trip to Corpus

So we recently flew to corpus christi to see goodie and papa. Caroline did famously on the way down- she sat in her seat and looked at books. Some of the highlights during the trip- Caroline learned how to say dog (and what a dog is), how to brush her hair, how to climb up and rock in a rocking chair, and she perfected her swinging craft. She also made friends (and temporarily accosted) a baby doll. She also took her first trip to the beach. Caroline thought the beach was great and made up her mind to crawl right in! She is definitely a beach baby. Below are a few pics of our trip.

My most favorite picture ever

Caroline's first time in a swing! Ashlea snapped this with her phone and said CMC was cracking up. :) LOVE IT with my whole heart.

TIMBER!!!

The hardest we've ever seen Caroline laugh :)

Part 2: Brief intermission because James thought she might fall off the table she was laughing so hard!

Fancy Pics

Lunchtime with Ashlea

We opted for taking her shirt off short of feeding her naked next to a fire station! :)

Being Daring

Caroline has recently discovered all of the items in our house with doors on them- cabinets, refrigerators, dish washers, etc. Yeah fun policing our little wonder.
