Sorry it’s been a while since our last post! We’ve been busy with the usual holiday madness and were blessed with Michael’s family visiting from South Carolina and Switzerland. I’m still learning how to balance keeping the home in respectable order and keeping the Misses content. She’s getting bigger by the day and is even experiencing her first episode of teething.
Here are a few pictures from over the holidays:
Here we are showing off our new pajamas.
Celebrating the New Year with my sweet daughter.
Michael’s family (Philip is the only one missing. He’ll be visiting us later this year from Japan.) from left to right: Daniel, Christine, Ricardo, Eliane, Me with Caroline, Michael, and of course Daisy.
Tasha and Daisy have been adjusting to their new roles watching over Caroline. Despite our crazy new schedule of nursing and changing diapers we have been able to enjoy some of the beautiful fall weather.
Once Caroline’s belly button had all healed up, we were able to give her her first bath. She wasn’t too happy with it, but she has gotten use to it (we’ve since given her a couple more). She also likes her soft teddy bear blanket to dry off in.
My mom was able to come up to visit and see her new Granddaughter. We had a great time visiting with her and we were also about to enjoy the fall colors and she got to see the cranberry harvest for the first time.
Caroline has been able to meet some family and friends now. Uncle Cass was able to come visit on Sunday when Revel’s parents came over and cooked dinner for us. We also were able to do a little video conference with Grammy Cotsford in SC yesterday, and she is excited to be coming up next Tuesday.
Caroline had some of her first visitors, starting with Revel’s parents last night. She also got to meet Natalie and then today Revel’s Aunt Susan, Uncle Ben and cousin Alison were able to come by (Caroline is excited to meet Charlotte, Alison’s little girl who is exactly 9 months older then her…but she wasn’t able to come up per hospital rules…but SOON).
