Updates

Goodness I don't even know where to begin! I have been really really slack about posting here lately. Seriously I just don't think there are enough hours in the day sometimes to get everything done. So if I go back a few weeks I think the next big event was starting Caroline on cereal for the first time. She was about 4 1/2 months and seemed pretty interested in eating. Whenever we are eating she follows the food from our hands all the way to our mouths. At first she was not too interested in the cereal. The first couple of bites she smiled and even opened her mouth waiting for the spoon to hit her tongue. I thought for sure this was going to be very successful but that excitement didn't last too long. She started fussing after a couple of bites and pushed most of the cereal out! First day wasn't too successful but it has gotten better and she actually almost seems ready for the next step...veggies!

Taylor has been a big help. A couple of times she has asked to help feed Caroline and really is being a great big sister. Caroline seems so mesmerized when watching Taylor. I only wish we could know what she is thinking :)

She is not too exctied about the cereal...

Her first spoon full!

FIRST Ear Infection...

On Jan. 19th I was off from work for MLK day and the girls were out of school. We spent to morning at the Dr.'s office only to discover that little Caroline had her first ear infection! Poor little thing was miserable that whole weekend. She was really fussy and did not want to be put down. She was also awake most of the night on Sunday (not like her!) She woke up with a low fever on Monday. I loaded Taylor and Caroline up and off to the Dr. office we went. Of course as we visited with the Dr. Caroline was smiling and moving all over. She didn't seem bothered at all! I never can understand why that always happens! I mean she hadn't been that content all weekend?! The Dr. laughed and said that for this very reason he still can't get his car fixed as every time he takes it in, the awful squeaking noise is not audible. Well at least we did find out though that Caroline had her first ear infection in her left ear. She started feeling better in a day or two after being on the antibiotic.

The day before we found out Caroline had an ear infection. We were on our way to the grocery store that Sunday morning. Taylor spent the night with Grammy and PawPaw so it was just the three of us that morning.
