ho hum

Its a lazy day. Josh is back at work, I'm folding laundry, and Caroline is....

Josh's "Weekend"

When Josh stands weekend duty everyone else's Monday and Tuesday is his weekend. So we were on Coast Guard time and enjoyed him being off with us yesterday and Monday.
Monday we greeted him with coffee, blueberry muffins, and a great big welcome home Daddy smile. We were all so glad to have two quiet days together.
Little Caroline was so cute after her bath yesterday. I could just eat her up!
I can't get over how big she is. Its crazy how fast time goes. We also celebrated our friends Mike & Ashley closing on their first home. We are so excited for them and can't wait to see the new place!

slow down, baby girl

Yesterday I started packing up Caroline's newborn size clothes. Some of my favorite outfits for her to wear are too small. Its so crazy how fast my pretty girl is growing. I'm keeping all of her baby stuff just in case we do have a second child someday.
Today my girl is happy as usual. Her daddy is working and her dog is being lazy. I've been doing housework while trying to keep her entertained. She is such a fun baby.
Caroline's favorite pacis are the gumdrop ones. She wouldn't take any paci at first and now these are basically the only ones she will take. She also is enjoying her bunny lovey.

What's Cookin'?

Today I'm cooking up some Roasted Baby Reds. Its a super easy side dish. You can season it anyway you'd like and I don't always season it the same way everytime we have it. You bake the potatoes at 350 degrees for about an hour or until the taters are all done.
Wash the potatoes and chop them into about the same size chunks. Since its just Josh and I eating tonight, I did 8 small potatoes. Use a square baking dish.
Coat the potatoes with a nice drizzle of Olive Oil. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, onion powder, and Ranch seasoning. I did not use the whole package of seasoning, just put the package in a ziploc and save the rest for next time.
The olive oil coats the potatoes and keeps the seasoning from being powdery. This is so yummy and is a great side!
Always remember to take a break from cooking and kiss the sweet sleeping angel in your living room.

The "Dora Daze"

This sweet girl loves watching Dora!

milk coma & a smile

Today we are eating a lot, sleeping a lot, & playing a lot.
Caroline is a happy 3 month old!

the cow clock

While we were home visting our family last week we took Caroline to Chic Fil A. As soon as I sat down with her at the table, her little legs went to kicking so hard. I had no clue what she was so excited about until I saw the cardboard cow clock.
That little sweetie was so intrested in the cow in flame pajamas! Her little hand would reach out and swat at it, she just kept patting it and trying to hit it. I think she is trying to learn how to grab the things she wants. She kept kicking at him while her GG was holding her. Too bad they would sell or give us one...we did ask!
