No signs of fall here...~Sarasota Newborn Photographer~

As Labor Day came and went and Football season is officially underway, I expected (OK, HOPED for) some signs, any sign really, that fall weather was on its way. But, here in Southwest Florida, the sauna baking continues.

Here is one quick picture, evidence, that even little Caroline is still sweating it out in Sarasota. Notice, she's been "blessed" with the frizzy action on the sides of her head. She can thank me later for that genetic gift and commiserate with Madelyn about it when they are teenagers.

One month ~ Sarasota Newborn Photographer~

I cannot believe it has already been one month. What can I say, time flies when you are having fun (and blends together when sleep-deprived).

We are all adjusting well to being a family of 5, better than expected actually. So far, we have been lucky, Caroline is a fairly easy-going baby. She settles best when I am holding her, but I don't have to perform a three-ring while doing so, that is a nice change. Caroline has already earned herself several nicknames, the kids have been heard calling her "CB" although Madelyn definitely prefers "Caroline" and will let you know it. Bjorn, my mom and I have call her "Little Belle" quite frequently. Thomas is Mr. Formal and usually refers to her by her full name "Caroline Belle".

Caroline had her one month well-baby appointment at just over 3 weeks. She is growing quickly, already up to 9 pounds 10 ounces. She seems to have really "woken" up this week, her eyes are clearer and focus better and she's starting to smile and coo more often.

Here are some pictures - mostly all taken before she was two weeks old.

She was making this exact facial expression during our 36 week ultrasound.


Her eyes are still looking quite blue.







looks like she's taking after big sister and brother with some long lashes already...
