Sweet Moments

Hi my name is....

Isabel and this is how i do my ballerina turn!

This saying goes to a little tune that they sing every saturday during ballet class. Isabel takes ballet and tap class every Saturday from 9-10 am. She LOVES it!

Trip to Lake Charles

The Jenkins girls took a trip to Lake Charles while Daddy was in Costa Rica. With the help of our AMAZING babysitter and friend Emily Prudhomme, we traveled successfully with 4 stops on the way there and 1 stop on the way back. Thank you Emily for riding with us, watching disney from the back seat, and holding the paci in Carolines mouth. We had a wonderful visit seeing: Great Grams, Mia, Uncle Bobby, Bops (not a long enough visit), Aunt Libby and Uncle Charles, Cousin John Paul, Paw Paw, CC, Uncle Brent, Uncle Matt, Olivia, Aunt Charlotte, Mimi, Maria, Gianna, Emma and grandchild Remy, GG (Geneva), Mrs. Kitty, and many many of Mia's dear friends. Here are some pictures of our weekend.

First Smile

March 5, 2012 (almost 2 months old) marks Caroline's first social smile.

Caroline 6 weeks

Take note of those little arm and leg rolls.....Caroline is doing super! She is still waking up around 2 and 5 am each night to eat, but then goes right back down to sleep. Right now she is sleeping in the little fisher price rock and play sleeper by our bed. She is starting to stay awake for longer periods of time during the day. We are still waiting for that first real social smile....the one that melts your heart. She has a precious dimple on her right cheek and she loves bath time. Her eyes are still blue (navy) and her hair is going to be dark brown.

Mardi Gras 2012

We had a ball in New Orleans this year for Mardi Gras. Isabel is the Mardi Gras queen. We started watching parades 2 weekends before Mardi Gras. Phillips and I attended the Hermes ball the Thursday before Fat Tuesday. Isabel and I watched daddy ride in the Hermes parade on Friday (Uncle Beau and Matt came to help out for the night parade. We took a rest on Saturday (parades canceled and moved due to rain/weather). We went strong ALL day on Sunday watching 3 parades in a row (and Mia came to play). Phillips and I took just Isabel on Monday night and left Caroline with Mia to watch 2 more night parades. Here are just some of the pics....I have to collect more from I-phones and Mia's camera.

Isabel loved the ladder this year and would sit up there for hours at a time. When a float came by she demanded to whoever stood behind her (usually daddy)..."Hurry put your hands up!" Then she proceeded to scream over and over again...THROW ME SOMETHING MISTER." It was priceless to see how happy and consumed she was. Now we are left with about 2 tons of beads and 100 light up toys and stuffed animals. And one hoarse little 3 year old!
