It's getter harder and harder to get a decent picture of Caroline on demand (thus the messy face, messy hair picture above). She's such a busy girl! In one more month she'll be a year and half!! Yikes - where has time gone? She's been vocalizing more and more this month. She'll often try to repeat the words we say, even though she won't say them on her own. She's tried to copy: cold, horse, work, lunch, throw, and flower. I know there are more, but that's all I can think of. She's been consistantly saying: bye, no, go, Daisy (all same as before), but has also added yes, catch, hop and ball to the list. She can moo and quack and point to several body parts when asked. She can correctly point to different family members in pictures. It's amazing to me how much she learns every day. She doesn't cry getting out of the car during carpool anymore (thank goodness!!) and she doesn't fuss too much when I leave her with sitters or friends.
She is down to one nap a day, although on certain days she'll still take two. There are rare days when she takes none. She has been going to bed around 8:00. She sleeps like a champ! If she wakes up early, she'll always want to get in bed with daddy. The other morning she woke up. I went in to check on her and she kept pointing to go down the hall. She kept pointing until we got to my bedroom. When she saw Adam was still there, she started fist pumping. She's not a mama's girl or a daddy's girl - but she can be either at times. When she wakes up from a nap or in the middle of the night, she will always want me. When she's getting tired at night and wants to be held, she always wants Adam- but she wants me to put her to bed.
She loves music and dancing. We have dance parties almost every night. When Adam and I found out that Caroline was a girl, he said that he didn't know what to do with a girl and he was worried he wouldn't be any good. Well Adam, I think dancing to Lady Gaga and Minnie's bowtique are exactly what you do with a little girl. He truly is the best dad to a little girl I've ever seen.
Happy 17 month birthday little Caroline! We love you so much. You are such a smart, funny, sweet, curious little girl and we love watching you grow up!
Where's Caroline?
Here I am!!
Time to get out.
No!! (That is actually what she was saying here)
Apparently springform pans are good to sit in and to wear as hats. Who knew?
