Caroline.....1 month!

Yes, I am a few days behind.
 
It happens.....
 
Anyway, we have already reached the one month mark!!!
 
Such a ham:
 
A quick flash through the month in photos:
 
First bath: 


 
Lots of snoozes.... 
 


 
Snuggles from all members of the family: 
 
New digs from Auntie Pam: 
 



 
 
 
The big moment from the month was our visit to Joplin to meet Great Granny Goose. 
 
 
 
We hung out with Aunt Sandy while we visited.  Her grandkids live overseas, so we are happy to give her our kids to play with!!  :)
 
 
 
This one is quite the fireball in comparison to her siblings.....
 
-She absolutely will refuse to take anything artificial (bottle, pacifiers, etc.)
-She grows like a weed.....i.e. she is in clothes Avery wore at 10-12 weeks.
-At her last appointment 2 weeks ago she had put on 14 ounces in just a week's time.  I am pretty certain the rate of growth has continued.
-She eats really well (clearly.....) and sleeps well too.  Right now she is getting up once between bedtime and morning, which is around 10 pm-7 am.
-We have seen hints of a smile, but still pretty random occurrences.  So, probably gas. :)
-She is STRONG!!  Anytime you hold her, she will try to stand.  Seriously.....
-She still is not a fan of the car seat.  Unless it is moving.
 
We are working on a routine, but it is all sort of a lost cause until we have our own house with space for everyone individually......SOON!!! 

Days 69 and 72

Yes, I got behind.....
 
But that means you get a 2 for 1 special! 
 
I know....exciting....anyway, here is the latest progress:
 
First we had the tapers and mudders getting the sheetrock set.
 
I finally saw how they make those rounded corners too!
It is a strip that is rounded that goes on each corner and mudded in place. 
Again, I know.....exciting. 

 
Then, a few days later, another new step has been made....
 
The deck is going in!!

 
This time it is for real too....cabinets will be in next week!!
 
Hopefully.......
