Growing Girl and Settling in!

According to our doctor visit this week, we've finally passed our birth weight- and then some! She is now 9lb. 4oz and 21 inches long. (although I think the 4oz. was in her wet diaper when she was weighed!) She is starting to smile more each day. She gives Mommy lots of smiles after she has a happy and full tummy and she also smiles when we tickle her under her chin! Her hair is lightening up- almost a strawberry blonde in the daylight. She's been eating and sleeping like a trooper. We're loving every minute- and feeling very blessed!
Caroline's nursery is finally coming together. Aunt Jill brought her crib up last week and after much frustration, Daddy finally got it put together once we got the directions. Who knew these things could be so complicated?


Here's our girl stretching out in her new digs! She loves looking at all the colors and shapes on her bedding.
I was so excited to get my new chair from Overstock.com- but I didn't plan on the dog enjoying it also. Grrrrr....after the photo was taken she was promptly scooted off the chair! Also important to note- our king size bed came yesterday- and Tilly was the first one to nap on it also! Who's in charge here?
Ah, the joys of homeownership- not only has our two week old fridge been repaired (the compressor came unplugged inside the unit), but our custom cut miniblinds from Lowe's have now been cut 3 times! Apparently it takes the trained professional on the cutting machine to be sure the job is done right! Here Rick puts the final blind in place. Kudos to Wendy for hanging the hardware, curtains, rods, and pictures on the walls! I feel like it's finally coming together - and that Better Homes & Gardens has been here! Boxes are slowly getting unpacked and put into place. We can probably even host visitors now and feel like it's almost there! Hooray!

"Aunt" Jodi came to see Caroline this week and brought her a baby swing.

So we decided to test out the swing- it appears to be a success...

... because this was the result about ten minutes later! Worked like a charm!
