Michael and Revel’s Cranberry Blog

The other day we visited the Children’s Orchard and picked up a few more toys. By far her favorite is the hippo!

We’ve also begun to experiment with giving her solid foods. At dinner time I just give her some olive oil or coconut oil to play and taste. Sometimes I’ll put some cooked pasta in front of her to touch and keep her entertained. Yesterday morning was the first time she tasted egg yolk that was mixed with olive oil and seasoned (very lightly) with unrefined sea salt. I don’t think she actually swallowed anything but she certainly enjoyed making a mess of herself!

Here’s Caroline sporting her St. Bernard outfit and doggie from Uncle Daniel.

Today Caroline turns 5 months old! I can hardly believe it. Just as everyone says, the time truly does fly! Here she is posing with her Teddy.

Here she is at 8 weeks posing with the same Teddy:

Okay everyone was right, how fast the time goes! Already at 4 months, it’s so hard to believe.

Here we are with our favorite person; daddy!

Last weekend we visited our dear friends Melissa,  Tim, and their son Bryce. Here we are showing off with Mr. Tim.

Here she is hanging out with her daddy and getting ready to go on a hike with mommy and the corgis.

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).
