The first does go back a little bit, but I feel the need to post this one...since Ben and I both love to dive and love the ocean and have now gotten up the nerve to dive by ourselves (as in not with a dive center, but with other people on the boat) off of his Mom's boat, this picture deserves posting. It was the first time we ever flew a dive flag ourselves. Pretty exciting stuff to us.
Ben and our friend Chase speared their first fish (a hilarious tag-team effort---the fish did NOT want to die and got away numerous times before being hooked on to our D-ring). I witnessed the whole event and the bad thing is that it is hard to laugh when you are hooked up to scuba gear. It was hilarious.
A few weeks ago, Caroline spend her first night by herself in a big girl bed. No more pack - n - play! One less thing to have to carry with us when we travel (although I'd carry anything to have Caroline go with me). The second night we were gone she slept in a twin bed and she DID fall off the bed. Ben said he'd never seen me get up out of the bed so quickly. I hear the thud out of a deep, deep sleep.
She got to play with her cousin, Sarah Wellins, for the whole weekend. There are a lot of cousins at the beach, but Sarah Wellins and Caroline are the closest in age from her (Sarah Wellin's) particular family, and there were no other cousins there, so it was a good play weekend for them.
Sarah Wellins got this from her mother, I think....she said she was working on her tan:
Caroline's first time in a big girl swing (or at least that I have seen). I have kept her in her baby swing but now she is coordinated enough for this:
C ready to go eat dinner:
OK...onto this past weekend: Do you remember this picture of Caroline from last September? This was a picture of her from last year at the splash pad downtown.
NOW flashforward to this year:
She has grown so much! She doesn't look like a baby anymore!
She may look back at this one and want to shoot me for putting it in here, but his was when she realized she was tee-teeing:
We went with my friend Leslie and Caroline's friend Henlee. Henlee thought this was great:
For the life of us we couldn't get a picture of them both facing the camera:
A little out of order, but some good friends of ours Lisa Littell and Kevin Courson were married in Chattanooga not long ago, and her is her picture on the way out the door to get married. Ben and I both were honored to be in the wedding and it was a special weekend for all of us.
Another new thing for C is that she wants to be a gymnast! She took a trial class for gymnastics, and is going to her second this Thursday. If she does well, she can start next Thursday with the 3 year olds.
Here is a peek of her walking on the balance beam. She LOVED gymnastics!
The only pic I am missing here that I wish I wasn't is a picture of her getting her first hair cut! It is on my phone and I don't have the right cord to hook up to the computer to get it off, but she did great and why she didn't cry and fuss when the hairstylest brushed out the tangles when she pitches a F I T with me is beyond me!! Go figure! I guess because it is mama.
All for now, but I hope to be back soon!
