We went to Atlanta to visit Cal's family for Mother's Day. It was Caroline's first overnight trip, and she did really well.
She really enjoyed playing with the "old" phone. She knew exactly what it was even though it had a cord!
We had a yummy cookout that Saturday night, and Granny Jessica and Caroline sat outside to watch Aunt Susan and daddy cook.
The next day, we had lunch at Aunt Laura's house. Caroline made herself at home "riding" Uncle Allen's Harley.
Cousin Caitlin pulled out her old tutu so Caroline could be a ballerina. Caitlin got it for her because Caroline asked me if she could be naked. I told her she couldn't run around naked. Her reply, "I'll walk then." She is so funny sometimes.
Performing for the crowd:
After Caroline got tired of the tutu, Caitlin got her a T-shirt to wear. Caroline then became a dress up doll, which she loved. Caitlin graciously gave Caroline the white watch you see pictured here. She wears it all the time. In fact, we often have to fight to take it off at bedtime.
I love her look in this picture - don't hate me because I'm beautiful!
Aunt Laura's flowers were so pretty we wanted to take Caroline's picture with them. We had to wait for her to finish her milk - models are so demanding!!! I can't believe how grown-up she looks in these pictures.
Gotta have the Dora sunglasses.
Back on the Harley - looking cool with the shades.
She was so excited to sleep in her big girl room. Unfortunately, she wasn't as excited about having her picture taken. This is the best we got of her posing for us.
Here, she's looking through her telescope.
That just doesn't look comfortable to me, but I'm not made of rubber. Now, she sleeps with the pillow flat on the bed, which appears to us to be much more comfortable!
Getting ready to read to Caroline for the first time in her new bed. You can see how happy she was.
This is Caroline's preferred method of having her picture taken. I think the reason she didn't cooperate that night was because she was so excited to sleep in her new bed that daddy was slowing the process down by taking pictures.
Caroline has transitioned to her new bed flawlessly. She actually sleeps later (on average) than she used to in her crib. I think it's because she has plenty of room to move around without hitting hard wooden sides. In the mornings, she even stays in bed until we come get her - I don't know how long that will last!
I had to include the latest pigtail picture.
