Caroline-16 months old

who has static?
pushing her babies at the toy store
Coloring and doing some art workLoves playing in purses!



Oh she is my funny bone! She makes you laugh like you have never laughed before. She is pure joy, laughter, smiles, and fun! I feel so bad that this poor child has had no update since she turned one, but here a little attempt to reprieve myself as she turns 16 months!

At her 15 month appointment she weighed 21 pounds and was 31 inches long. She still isn't technically walking on her own but she cruises everywhere, loves to walk pushing anything that will move with her and LOVES to walk holding your hand-especially her sisters! On Monday November 7th she stood up on her own from the floor and took what I am calling her "official" first steps. She has taken several more over the last week but she gets so excited and moves so fast that she loses her balance very quickly (the child does nothing at a slow speed)! She is super proud of herself and loves for you to tell her 'good job!'

The child is the best communicator I know that doesn't operate with words! haha! She still loves to say things but is much better at observing, listening, pointing and shaking her head. She does her Caroline style 'yes yes yes' by smiling the biggest smile, throwing her hands up in the air and shaking her head yes as fast as she can! And like any other toddler her new favorite words is 'no'-but I have to say its the cutest word she could possibly say with this sassy look on her face!

What she loves:

BABIES
books
puzzles
crayons...oh that is a fun one!
BABIES
music of any kind-instruments, songs, dancing
gabby
her best friends-Hadley, Drew, Kennedy
BABIES
her big sister
her Daddy coming home from work
Bubble Guppies TV show
BABIES
playing in the dishwasher, the pantry, my bathroom cabinets, my Tupperware drawer
her 'ba ba' (pacifier) and her 'lovey' (her soft pink bear/blanket)

Although she is a sweet loving cuddle bug she is DETERMINED, INDEPENDENT, and STRONG WILLED! She thinks she can do everything- on her own- in her own way- in her own time and everything Claire does.

She is definitely the forth piece to our family puzzle and we love her so very much!
