Welcome 2012!

2011 was a fantastic year but we are ready for 2012! We're excited about some big things this year - new car for me, making a nursery and a big girl room, a much needed "babymoon", a beach vacation this summer, and most importantly - our family growing from 3 to 4!

Here's a quick look back at 2011:

January: Caroline started pulling up and learning how to crawl. Major babyproofing began. We had an icy day that kept Adam home with us for a couple of days.

February: Caroline said her first recognition word - "Day Day" for Daisy

March: Baby recognition Sunday at Trinity. Daisy had lots of teeth pulled :(

April: Tornadoes swept through the state and we spent nearly 5 days without power. C took her first unassisted step.

May: C turned ONE!! I celebrated my first Mother's Day and loved it!

June: She ate watermelon for the first time.

July: C had her tear duct surgery. It went fantastic. Thank goodness for the amazing Dr. Cogan and Children's Hospital.

August: Adam and I found out that Baby Israel #2 was on its way!

September: Caroline started PDO. We took a much needed trip to Point Clear.

October: C had her first haircut. Adam and I had a lovely weekend in Nashville (minus Caroline, who enjoyed spending time in Haleyville).

November: C showed off pigtails for the first time. I showed off a baby bump!

December: We found out that Caroline will have a little sister. We celebrated a wonderful Christmas.

We had a great New Year's this year. We had several friends over to our house for the evening. Although Caroline didn't make it until midnight, I know that she enjoyed the party. We cannot wait to see what 2012 has in store for the Israel family!
