The sweetest sound

Yesterday (Sunday, September 5th) Caroline laughed for the first time!!! There was no question about it - she totally giggled and it just made us melt!!! Adam was tickling her and she started to giggle. We stood there for a moment wondering if that really did happen or if we imagined it. He tickled her again and sure enough she laughed! I am so thankful that both of us were around to hear it!!

Sleeping Beauties

This is how Caroline sleeps most of the time now. It's so adorable!! Even though she does this every night we still find ourselves watching her!


Adam loves to sleep late. I do not. I have this theory that if I am awake then he should be too. Good thing Caroline agrees with me. Sleepy Adam had a hard time getting up so Caroline was helping him make some coffee!



I know...it's crazy to put a coffee filter on her head but it was just so cute! I promise that I will find other ways to amuse myself soon.

Ready to Roll

Yea Alabama!!! We had such a GREAT day on Saturday! We went to Tuscaloosa for the San Jose State game. C and I just stayed to tailgate and we drove back to Birmingham when the game started but we still had a blast!!

On our way to Tuscaloosa. She was super excited about the shaker!


She was decked out in Alabama gear...even down to her diaper cover!


We got to see lots of our friends, like Aunt Laura!!


I just LOVE this baby girl so much!!



Next weekend she'll be watching the game from home with Mimi and Papa while Adam and I go to the Penn State game.

Soccer Time!

This afternoon we went to watch Mary Scott play in the Liberty Cup soccer tournament. Her team won!! We saw the last game - and she scored two of the goals! She's so amazing.

We knew it was going to be a sunny day...so we got prepared.


She really enjoyed watching the game.


She just didn't realize it was the wrong game.


Going for the ball like a little pro


Super star player!!

Visiting with Friends

Caroline got a little spoiled tonight with so many people holding her!! We went to Billy's in Liberty Park to watch the first SEC game of the season and to visit with our friend Cal (Neal's older brother), who lives in London. We had such a great time! It was wonderful to have a break and see our friends and I know that little Caroline just loved hanging out with such cute boys...(who can blame her :) )

Caroline and Cal. She's so calm...it must be something about those Nesmith boys!!!

Nap Time

Some days Caroline takes wonderful long naps - some days she doesn't. Today I was getting ready for our play date and Adam put Caroline down for a nap. I kept hearing strange ripping noises through the monitor so I went to go check on her. Somehow she had ripped the velcro sides off the sleep positioner and spit out her paci and decided to suck on the sleep positioner. It was too funny!!!

Dinner with friends

Tonight the three of us went to eat dinner with our good friends, Kelley and Chris and their two sweet kids. We met them last year at the Alpha class at TUMC. The day that Adam and I found out we were pregnant we had to miss Alpha since I passed out and felt weak. The following week we went (still keeping our pregnancy a secret) and Kelley told us that she was pregnant. It was so hard to not explode with our news too! We ended up both having sweet little girls just a few weeks apart. It was so fun to go through the entire pregnancy with someone else. Here we are a year later still having a great time...and what a year it has been!!

The two dads and their lovely little ladies


How sweet is this?? Hudson insisted that Kelley make a birthday cake for Adam!!


I love that we'll get to watch these two grow up and be buddies!! They'll get to say they were friends since birth!



Thanks for all the pics K (as I stole them all from her blog). We had a wonderful time!!
