M.I.A.

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. We've been pretty busy..and sick!

We noticed last week that Caroline's eyes were really crusty when she woke up from sleeping. We brushed it off as allergies or a cold. She woke a two mornings later and her eyes were crusted shut! Poor thing. We had to wipe them with a damp wash cloth so she could open them. We took her to the pediatrician and found out she had pink eye in both eyes.

We spent the weekend in Pearsall for Mario's 10 year high school reunion. While we were there I started getting a sore throat and Caroline started coughing. I thought maybe we were allergic to something in the air down there but we both started feeling much worse after we got back home. I went to the doctor's office to make sure it wasn't H1N1 and they tested me for strep. The test came back negative and the doctor said it was just a cold. Caroline still has a runny nose and a cough and I still don't feel good. Now Mario is starting to feel sick too. Ugh.

We ended up having to reschedule our family pictures for next weekend when we'll hopefully be feeling much better.

I hope we all feel better soon and I can get back to regular blogging.

Halloween

Caroline had a fun Halloween yesterday. We spent the day in San Antonio. She got to visit her friend Kadence (we didn't take any pictures) then spent the rest of the night at her cousin's house visiting with Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, and Grandparents. We even went trick or treating at a few houses.

7 Months!

Miss Caroline turned 7 months old yesterday. This month flew by! She is so much fun these days. She's very close to being mobile. She finally rolled from her back to her belly on Friday. She's been really trying to crawl for about a week and I'm sure it won't be long. We need to do some baby proofing.

She's still eating about five 6 ounce bottles every day and three meals of solids. She loves eating purees again and we've started some finger foods. We're working on teaching her to hold her bottles and use a sippy cup.

We're looking forward to this month with Miss Caroline. We have family pictures scheduled..I hope she'll smile for the camera. She's become pretty shy around strangers. She has two grandparent's birthdays to celebrate. We also have Thanksgiving at our house with both sides of the family. It should be another fun month!

Pumpkin Patch

We took Caroline to a pumpkin patch in town yesterday to get more pictures in the pumpkins. We went right after daycare and she's usually napping at that time so I was worried that she might be fussy. She wasn't fussy and even gave us a few smiles.

30 Weeks..

Miss Caroline turned 30 weeks old yesterday. I'll do a big update post this weekend when she turns 7 months old but she's eating purees again. I guess her ear infection was making her not want them. I'm relieved about that because I have several bags of purees in the freezer. She has a bad rash on her cheeks that her pedi calls a pacifier rash. I guess the combination of drool and the pacifier rubbing makes her cheeks raw. We've been putting Vaseline on them every chance we get and we sent some to daycare for them to use also.

Here are some pictures from Sunday evening on the back porch. The weather was awesome.

San Antonio Zoo

We decided to take advantage of the beautiful weather on Saturday and take Caroline to the San Antonio Zoo. She met her friend Kadence there and they had a blast looking at the animals. They even got to pet some goats. I was really impressed with how big it was. We weren't sure how much the girls would enjoy the animals because they're still so young but they seemed to really like them.

Front yard photo shoot

After a morning of rain it turned out to be a nice evening so we decided to head outside to take some pictures.

Speaking of pictures, we booked a session with Libby Ann Photography in November and we're very excited! I also found out that I was one of the winners of the free mini session raffle put on by Life in Motion Photography and we booked our mini session for January. We haven't had professional pictures taken since our wedding and I can't wait to see what these two talented ladies can do. If only I still looked like I did on my wedding day.
