Snow fun!

Daddy was shoveling the driveway AGAIN today...we've had another 3-5 inches on top of the 15 we got Friday, and Caroline decided she couldn't let Daddy have all the fun!

So, we bundled up and she didn't quite know what to think! She pretty much stayed 'frozen', but did crack a few smiles.

You can't see it in the photo very clearly, but she's sticking out that tongue as Daddy comes to her rescue!

I think Daddy enjoyed this moment..and would rather hold her than finish that driveway!

It's pretty bright out here, huh? What fun!

Giggling girl!

Hoping this works! I caught our girl giggling at me today...at anything I would say! So, I grabbed the video cam! Of course, it took me all afternoon to figure out how to transfer it to a media file, save it to the computer, and upload it, but I think it's totally worth it! What a fun way to spend a snow day! Enjoy!
I couldn't upload to blogger, but here's the youtube link:

Waking up with Caroline

Here we are all snuggly and sound asleep.

A close-up shot..pure angel.

Waking up...first a stretch, then a smile..

...then we grab the fingers and put them in the mouth......followed by grabbing the feet and legs. This process is repeated several times...

..until finally, we smile and are ready to get out of bed! Wouldn't it be nice if we all woke up like this??

Bedroom decor & baby smiles

The third time is a charm...after Ikea was sold out of both duvet cover sets that we liked, I went on a hunt. I bid on this set on ebay over a month ago, and was outbid by $1..grrr... so, imagine how excited I was when I saw the same set listed again for $20 less! Score! It came a few weeks ago, and even though the packaging said it was a king size...it was only a queen. Arrgh! After returning that set, ebay finally had a third listing. This one was cheaper even still, and didn't include the bed skirt, which I didn't need anyway! It arrived this week...and I think it's just perfect! Now if I get curtains, and some pictures on the walls I'll begin to feel like it's really a home. (And I'm told our table and chairs from Crate & Barrel has shipped!!!) Woo-hoo!

I put Caroline in her bumbo seat and turned on a Baby Einstein movie yesterday. She was so cute, because when I would talk to her, she'd smile, but she just couldn't take her eyes of the tv. It was so funny. So, I have a lot of pictures of her with her head turned to the side! I captured a few front shots...mostly of her talking and jabbering!

I'm trying to smile mommy, but I just like watching my show!!!

It's okay with mommy...because I think you're cute from every angle!

Voila! Finally a smile where she's looking at me!

HOLY SNOWFALL!

I think we have every bit of 10 inches from our lovely weather system that moved through yesterday. When the snow stopped, the winds came, and boy is it howling out there! The siding is creaking, and being in a new development, there is nothing to block those winds. What snow did get shoveled is now blowing right back! We had to shovel the driveway for the cars to be able to come through. Rick's heading back outside now to shovel yet again. Tilly had fun playing out there- even if the drifts were as tall as she was! (I know it doesn't look like much in the back yard...it's because it all blew to other places!)

Caught her shaking off the snow here!

And sniffing snow and putting her nose in it seems to be the activity of choice.

Check out that snowy mask!

Someone's at the door ready to come in...Eek! I just know my house is gonna smell like wet dog soon!

Look what mommy bought for $1...

You never know what you'll find in the $1 bin at Target...

...my mommy found a tutu!

Not sure what this is so I'd better put it in my mouth...and curl my toes!

I think I'm a little angel!

What do you think? I'll cross my legs like a lady should.

or perhaps flash you in a very unladylike move?

Or strike a girly pose?

Hey, hey! Pure angel...

My Daddy thinks I need a baseball jersey....FAST! (By the way..Daddy was rocking me to sleep the other night and Mommy overheard him singing to me. Can you guess which song it was?? Why, Take me out to the Ballgame, of course! Mommy thought it was pretty cute!)

Lovin' my toys!

Here I am, just sittin in my boppy and hanging out with my toys...

...and here I am attacking my toys. Notice you can see my face in the hole!

They sure taste good! I love gnawing on everything these days!

fingers, toes, clothes, rings, toys, books, bottle nipples, blankies, ...yep...I love it all!

I'm one happy kid!!
