Caleb's first visit to KY!

Nona and I decided to take a road trip with Caleb and Isabel last month to hang out with some family. Caleb was able to meet Crawdaddy (my dad) and Mimi for the first time as well as some of his great-grandparents. Isabel also got to have a second birthday party with some of our family .

Oh, Sippigrip how I love thee !

I kicked off zoo season today and also got to try out my newest baby gadget. Now for anyone who has visited BuyBuyBaby you will know they have some of the best baby gadgets. Last week Jen called to see if I wanted to meet her there while she checked it out for the first time (Do I have a pulse???) Baby gadgets are my weakness. I have seen these awesome little gadgets at the store before and I thought I don't need one........ however, I am tired of fetching sippy cups off the floor of the mall, grocery, car, etc.... I did end up buying one and now may buy one and attach it to anything that isn't nailed down. It was fabulous! Isabel left it alone the entire trip and I never once ran over a cup, tripped over it or lost a sippy. Happy Day!

Princess Belle

I just couldn't resist posting a picture of Isabel sporting her Princess hair after a bath. She didn't want to take off her towel so we had to rig it up so it would stay on her head. Now I proudly present ...........................

Caleb's first smile

Caleb smiled for the first time on March 24 and completely melted my heart. Now of course I am that mom that never has her camera handy when something big happens. I have spent the last 1 1/2 weeks stalking the poor little guy trying to catch that sweet moment when he would smile again.
