Caroline , our squealer, chatterbox, and good-eater has done a lot of growing since her first birthday! Her curly hair has turned completely blond and the curls come and go based on the weather! Her eyes are still blue (mommy just loves that!), and she is the ticklish little thing you have ever seen!

| Waiting on the doctor for another Rocephin shot... |
The weather hasn't been kind to her this fall. She has struggled with ear infections and nasty viruses. She had to get a 3 series Rocephin shot in the fall. She officially hates the pediatricians office. She is ok in the waiting area, but when we get to the exam room, she really lets loose the tears in fear of another shot. We have been to the ENT twice. The ENT doesn't think Caroline will need tubes. She does, however, have huge tonsils. Tonsils are rated 1-4, and she is a 3. Those may cause her trouble in the future with infections. She gets that honestly...as I had huge tonsils that were taken out as a teen.

Caroline has developed in so many ways since her 1st Birthday. I think moving away from a bottle to a short time with a sippy cup, to now using a real cup at school. Since her birthday she has moved up twice at school, and she is now in Ms. Rose's class. This class gets to go outside, do extra activities (Gymercize), sit at a table to eat and play, introducing the potty, napping on a floor mat (no more cribs) and mommy and daddy don't have to put on booties anymore when we have to pick you up!! We were trilled that she moved up since we were getting a report everyday at the other class that she was a "bitter!" I guess she was bored, as her behavior has improved in this class!

Caroline loves routine. She doesn't run to me when she is getting picked up. She goes to the teacher, gets her paper, points at her coat for me to grab and put on her, and then she will go to the door and say "bye bye." Anything out of order will send her into a tail-spin!
Her language has improved. She catches on really fast. Tillman is even amazed when we hear here say words for the first time. Even though she can full enunciate the word, we know what she is trying to say...even short sentences. Some words and phrases: Thank you, See in this afternoon, Night night, Love you, oh and I'm sure I'm leaving a ton out!
Just in time for Valentine's Day, she knows how to kiss! So sweet, even if her kisses are slobbery and wet!

Out of school the Tues before Thanksgiving
Shopping at Publix and waiting on her Rx |
Baby C continues to be a great eater! She loves fruit cocktail (really, any fruit), squeeze packets of baby food, sweet potatoes, cereal, yogurt....really anything but tomatoes it seems! She even likes meat. If you have it in your hand, she wants to try it! She is also very good with a straw. This was a concept that took awhile for Tillman to grasp, but she has know how to do this before giving up her bottle.

Since moving to our new house, Caroline has really gotten into pretending. She loves to play with the fake food, especially the ice cream cones. She puts them together and then enjoys "serving" them and pretending to snack on them. She also has begun playing with her baby dolls. She will hold them, love on them, and put them in the stroller to go for a ride. She also loves to have a purse. She hangs it on the handle of the stroller and as she is moving she is saying "bye bye." Really anytime a coat or a purse is put on, she is really to go out the door!

Caroline also enjoys talking on the phone! When we call folks in the car, she is the first to wave, say "bye bye" and "Hi!" She has about 5 pretend cell phones and she enjoys those too. I think we are going to be in trouble when she is a teenager! Speaking of being in trouble...Miss Caroline can now climb out of her crib. She did it a couple of weeks ago. She has put her leg up to get out since them but has fallen out again. I hope the first time scared her enough to keep her from doing it again, as it was a huge "thud" when she hit the floor.She seems to only try to get out of her bed when someone is in her room. If she is in there by herself, she generally entertains herself in the crib!

Growth and everything seem to be right on target. I don't think she is going to be extremely tall by any means. She already has my side of the family's long body and short legs!

Caroline continues to be a blessing to our family. There is nothing sweeter than waking her up in the morning, and getting a hug! Tillman loves her too, and he show it by singing Sweet Caroline to her often!

European pregnancy site My Tummy have a new collection out for summer which includes some beautiful maternity dresses and tops. They also design and create maternity trousers and lovely breastfeeding clothes. All the clothing is made with soft fabrics and pregnancy safe dyes, while lots of the tops and dresses double up for breastfeeding so you don't need to buy a whole new wardrobe once the little one comes!
