'Line

I titled this post 'Line because Fernie affectionately calls Caroline 'Line!

 

She is preparing for the upcoming Superbowl weekend!

 WHEN Caroline is awake she has BIG eyes.

 She is a snuggle bug.  I am enjoying EVERY cuddle with her.

 Jack finally upgraded to a big boy bedroom set.  He LOVES it.  You can sort of see him buried under all his "friends".

 Fernie has decided to "feed" her babies...she puts the dolls up to her bellybutton!

 This nuk is about as big as her face!  LOVE those baby fists.

 Such a sweet baby!

 Jack and Fernie are GREAT helpers.  They both are very interested in Caroline.  Fernie is very good at helping change diapers and Jack gets me her clothes every morning. 

 Precious girl.

 "Get that camera out of my face!"

 "Cheese!"

 

 I think she might like these nuks better...but I will keep experimenting. 

 Tummy time. She didn't fuss once.  Jack asks me all the time, if it is time for tummy time.

 Jack said Caroline looked like a little bean!

Love this face! 

 Sweet angel.

 Jack and Fernie love to hang on Zack's legs and have him pull them around!

Sweet Caroline!!

Our sweet baby Caroline Elizabeth arrived December 27th at 11:38am.  She weighed in at 7lbs even and 21.5 inches long.  She is a little snuggler.  We are all very much in love with her.  Jack is the proudest big brother and Fernie has taken on the responsibility of Nuk protector! 

 

One VERY proud daddy!

First time meeting Caroline - A very happy BIG brother.

First time meeting Caroline...not so sure...

One HAPPY daddy!

Caroline's first manicure!

Time to go home...we had lots of help!

Everyone loves to snuggle with baby.

I look this picture because this is how she sleeps sometimes, with both hands in the air!

 

Fernie does like to "check" on Caroline often and "help" change her clothes/diaper. 

I can't get enough baby snuggles!

"Is this camera ALWAYS going to be in my face??"

The other day Jack said to me, "Mom, I am SO glad Caroline is FINALLY here!"

  

  

 

Before Caroline arrived we celebrated Christmas and played in the snow. 

Thankfully I'm inside about to be hit by a snowball!

 As tradition would have it, the elves visited on Christmas Eve while we were at church.  They left Christmas cookies and egg nog.

 This picture is a KEEPER!  I tried to get the kids to smile by saying "cheeseburger", "cheese", and "santa"...that didn't work so I said everyone say "buggars!"  Fernie was VERY quick to stick her finger in her nose!!!

 Jack is giving dad tips on playing Angry Birds.

 One day I asked Fernie to get me a diaper and she came downstairs with Jack's underware on!!

We are very much looking forward to what 2014 brings!  I'm sure it will be crazy as we adjust to our new family of 5 but we are looking forward to every minute!

Happy New Year!
