Caroline 4 months

I am such a happy happy baby!  I love to smile and only get upset when I am starving or really really tired.  I sleep in my crib now....mostly through the night.  I have a little cough right now.  Sometimes it wakes me up around 2:00 am and then I realize that I am kinda hungry.  My mommy is still breastfeeding me and I am taking 6 ounce bottles while I am at daycare.  I can flip from by back to my tummy, but then once I get there I get frustrated and can't do anything about it.  I love to suck my thumb!  And each night I can fall asleep by myself turned to the side with my ankles crossed and thumb in my mouth.  I love my sister, but sometimes she squeezes me too hard.  I like for mommy and daddy to hold me facing outward so that I can see everything.  And I am almost laughing....belly style!

And here are some recent pictures of me...

My newest trick...

I can flip from back to front!

3 month stats

Caroline's 3 month stats

weight: 13 pounds 1.5 ounces

height: 23 1/4 inches

Caroline is sleeping through the night from around 8:00 pm to 6:oo am. She is still breastfeeding and takes three 5 ounce bottles during the day of expressed milk. She is an amazing baby. She has started to smile more frequently and started cooing this week. Within a months time we should see her roll. Her eyes are still light in color and I think they may be turning green. She received two shots at the doctor yesterday and cried for both of them. She loves her hands and her pacifier!

Hawthorne and Hoop skirts

This past weekend Hawthorne was on the Spring Pilgrimage tour. We made a visit to see Granny all dressed up in her hoop skirt.

Easter Sunday

The Easter bunny knew where to find us this year. We woke up early and enjoyed Easter bunny treats then got all dressed in our Sunday's best. Isabel had a quick egg hunt at Hawthorne and then we attended First Presbyterian church service followed by lunch at the Carriage House. We had a wonderful Easter weekend in Natchez!

Little Maypole

Every year at Spring pilgrimage Natchez hosts a pageant. The Historic Natchez Pageant is a depiction of the Antebellum Era through song, dance and historical dialog including adornment of period costumes. This year Isabel was old enough to participate in the LIttle Maypole. It is a part of the pageant where little children dress in old southern attire and dance around a maypole. Isabel did wonderful and with NO reservation went out to perform.

Easter Egg Hunt

The Episcopal Church held an Easter egg Hunt at Gloucester plantation in Natchez, MS. It was a beautiful Saturday and the garden was breathtaking. I snapped a few shots of Isabel and her Natchez friends (Cousin Jane Carby, Harrison Callon, and Webb Ratcliff).
