Memorial Day Weekend

She loved this hammock. Aunt Amy was guarding the other side because she was WILD while on this thing!

Hope everyone had a nice long holiday weekend. We did! Junior is finally here - got here on my birthday which made it the best birthday EVER! We have settled in and it is so great having him here. The extra help with Caroline is wonderful. We went grocery shopping on Monday and that was so much easier than usual - it's the little things that count. He is so good with her and she loves him.

Caroline is doing great. She took 5 steps one night last week but hasn't walked since. She is able to walk around the whole house as long as she is holding on to something but is yet to do it on her own except for the 5 steps she took from Grandma to mommy. We continue to practice. It is bittersweet - I want her to walk but then again know that her independence is going to increase as soon as she can walk on her own. She is already Miss Independent!

Not too much going on for us the next month. Junior and I are taking a trip to the Dominican Republic at the end of June through the 4th of July. We are very much looking forward to that. Caroline will share time between Grandma and Grandpa. We will miss her terribly but it will be a great trip. Junior has a lot of family there but we are debating whether or not to let them know we are coming - he says that if we go see them we will never be able to leave. We plan to take a day to visit his dad's gravesite there which will be very nice and emotional I'm sure.

Love to everyone!
