Over the river and through the woods to Grandmother's house we go...

Ok, so its more like over the mountains and through the swamp, but needless to say we made it to Nana and Poppy's house for Thanksgiving. After 1 long car ride, 2 plane rides and 3 airports we made it to Knoxville. I have to say that for Little Bit to have only been 7 weeks old she did remarkably well. She slept in the car, ate and pee-peed at the airports and slept on the planes. Could I have a more perfect child?

We had a wonderful trip!! Caroline got to meet her great grandparents, great aunts and uncles, a great great aunt and even a few cousins. I'm sure she remembers all of them! Caroline had fun playing with Poppy. She found my dad incredibly amusing. He didn't even have to do anything and she would start smiling and laughing if she saw him. Nana had a mini-boppy (a neck pillow) that Caroline slept on several times. She helped Nana, Poppy and Aunt Kelly put up their Christmas tree and make their lunches for work. Aunt Kelly fed and looked after her (and let her finally hear some "good" music) while Mommy showered. Nana pushed her in the stroller through the mall while we shopped for after-Thanksgiving bargains. Caroline got to swim in their swimming tub (that would be Nana and Poppy's whirlpool tub that Caroline got to take a bath in and then go "swimming" in). She loved spending time with Grandmom and Pops. She loved Grandmom's pumpkin pie and managed to poop each time Pops held her (I think she planned that- she still laughs about it!). She thought Helen, Russ and Steph were very entertaining and can't wait to see Mozart again. We had so much fun and can't wait to go back!!

Aqua Chi

I have been going crazy to try Aqua Chi. It's where you sit with your feet in a tub of stimulated water for about 30 minutes and let it detox your body. I have wanted to do this for quite some time but had to wait till I wasn't pregnant. Now, that my body is baby free I think I'm going to try it. You have to check out these links. If you don't want to read about it at least check out the water color chart. It is soooooo gross what comes out during the detox. I think things like this are so cool! Aqua Chi Information and the Water Color Chart. Let me know what you all think!!

Sweet Child O' Mine

She's got a smile that it seems to me

Reminds me of childhood memories

Where everything

Was as fresh as the bright blue sky

Now and then when I see her face

She takes me away to that special place

And if I stared too long

I'd probably break down and cry

Sweet child o' mine

Sweet love of mine

She's got eyes of the bluest skies

As if they thought of rain

I hate to look into those eyes

And see an ounce of pain

Her hair reminds meof a warm safe place

Where as a child I'd hide

And pray for the thunder

And the rain

To quietly pass me by

Sweet child o' mine

Sweet love of mine

Where do we go

Where do we go now

Where do we go

Sweet child o' mine

She's a model already!

My little munchkin is a model already! The lady that took Caroline's baby pictures wants to use some of her pictures for advertising (website, etc)! The black and white picture of her face is probably going to be on her business card. She also wants to use one of the pics of Caroline with her mommy. I guess I make a good prop for the princess!! I knew she was gorgeous and now everyone in the Waycross area will be able to see her.

Caroline is getting ready to make her first big trip. She and I are flying to Knoxville on Tuesday and spending Thanksgiving with her Nana, Poppy and Aunt Kelly. Yes, that's right, me and a 7 week old infant are flying 500 miles BY OURSELVES!! Thank God she is such a good baby. Maybe she will be a good baby at 30,000 feet! :) Pray for us!!!!! Big brother Sam is going to spend Turkey Day with Mimi and Bubba. (Sean has to work, don't think we are just leaving him here to fend for himself! He has to work Thanksgiving and the 3 days after so he will be sleeping while we are gone!)

Since this will probably be my last entry before I leave for Knoxville...

Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

My little baby is one month old...

This is a couple of days late, but what can I say, I have an infant to take care of! On Saturday my little baby was one month old. I can't believe it. I feel so sad. I feel like I just had her a couple of days ago. I can't believe she has already been with us for a whole month. Anyway... to commemorate her one month birthday I have more pictures! I'm sure all of you are saying "it is about time Lauren finally made a picture of that darling baby! They just aren't going to have any pictures of her as a baby!" YEAH RIGHT!!! I have only taken like a thousand pictures of her in the last month! I have never been a big picture person, but I guess I just haven't had anything this cute to take lots of picture of! So without further delay, more pictures...
