Look Alike?

Tried to replicate the picture of me at 3 weeks to see any similarities - was able to use the same yellow blanket, but couldn't replicate that cool 70's couch:

First Trip to Trusty's

Spanky's birthday present was to have Caroline go to Trusty's for brunch. She seemed to enjoy it - slept the whole time. Several friends joined us for the occasion and at one point, there were three children under the age of one at the bar. I am sure that it won't be her last trip to Trusty's ;)

ROARRR

Actually a yawn that unfortunately, did not lead to sleep...

Nana and Granddad's Visit

My parents meet Caroline about a week after she arrived and stayed for a week. It was wonderful to have them in town and to have the extra help. We miss them!

She's Here!!

One week late and after 25 hours of labor, Caroline Marie Means finally arrived at 1:59 am on February 16, 2012 weighing 6 lbs 14 oz and measuring 20 in. Here are a few pictures from the hospital. We're settling in at home and just trying to get as much sleep as we can...luckily, she's been a pretty easy-going baby so far...hope it continues (again, apologies for the sideways and upside down pictures - not able to figure it out and prioritizing sleep right now ;)).

Nursery

Well, it doesn't look like she'll arrive on schedule, but her crib skirt arrived on her due date so here's a few pictures on the nursery (sorry for the sideways pictures - correctly saved on the computer, but can't get them to upload correctly on the blog):

Furry Baby

With all the posts on the pregnancy and baby, thought that we need a few of the furry kid - plus, I just downloaded about 2 years of pictures from my phone and wanted to share.

Not sure he has enough sticks:

One of his favorite resting spots:

Relaxing on the couch - such a tough life:
