Caroline didn’t get pinched today thanks to the McEldowney’s.  They sent her this adorable outfit with Lucky Charm bib!  She was moving so fast that her arms and legs are blurry in the picture!

What are you thankful for?  I am thankful for our lucky charm and daily blessings :)

I thought it was going to be too chilly so Caroline didn’t wear a dress, next time I’ll pack a back up!  We got free tickets from the Dallas Rec Center too.  More pics in our gallery and more to come from the other ladies! Thanks Sarah (Hayden), Jorja (James), Natalie, Melissa and Nicole (Hudson)!

What are you thankful for?  I am thankful for great friends, sunglasses, Caroline and tulips!

Zach’s dad and his wife Judi came to meet Caroline for the first time.  It was so great to have them visit for the weekend! Caroline loved doing her tricks (singing, push ups and smiling).

My cousin-in-law Marissa and Aubree came to visit on Sunday for Chicken Parmesan lunch.  Aubree (3 years old) was so cute with Caroline.  She sang Twinkle Twinkle Little Star to her and colored a picture for the fridge. Sooo cute! We can’t wait for Caroline to meet the rest of the Lundbergs and my grandparents too.  Say an extra prayer for my Grandpa Pat.  He has been struggling to get over pneumonia and is in the hospital this week to help speed up his recovery.  Hopefully he will be healthy soon so Caroline can meet Great Grandpa Pat and Great Grandma Marianna!

Play hard and then nap!

Zach was at work so I took a quick video of her napping. We love our Miracle Blanket- it’s super easy to swaddle and she stays in it. http://www.miracleblanket.com/ I’d highly recommend it to anyone with a new baby!

Life is good… great actually!

Caroline is growing and learning so many new things. On 1-26-2010 she was 10 pounds 2 ounces.  Happy Birthday to me!  My hubby got me some beautiful flowers and we are going out for an overnight date night as my present. Fabulous!

Caroline is also learning how to sleep.  Funny that you have to learn how to sleep!  I’ve been reading Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child and have learned a lot. So far I have learned that naps are important and baby should get in bed before being over tired and ultra sleepy.  For the past 3 nights Caroline has only woken up once in the night to eat.  Pretty fantastic.

We’ve had several dinners with friends and family and had several small outings.  Nice to get out in the world again!

I uploaded more pictures to our gallery and added captions too. Enjoy!

What are you thankful for?  I am thankful for new baby smiles :)
