Caroline is 11 months!

  I can't believe it, but Caroline Caprice is 11 months old!  I don't know why, but this particular month marker is making me really sad.  Don't get me wrong, I love watching her explore and try new things, (like crawling...which she just started last week), but I know there is no going back to those sweet baby moments with my little "Caroliney Lou Lou"  or "Tiny Liny" as we like to call her around here.  She still likes to be held, but is much too busy to cuddle.  I guess I will just have to wait for those sick days when she want to be rocked to sleep, just kidding...kind of.

I seriously don't know if there is a happier baby out there?  She is so smiley and sweet...until she isn't.  If she is hungry or tired, the whole world will know.  I don't know if it's just because I have girls or if the Purdy dramatics run really deep, but oh my!  If it's dinner time look out :)  Other than that, she is laughing or smiling at whoever will look her way.

 She loves playing with other babies.  Lucky for her, she has two built in playmates in her cousins Coyt and Crew.  Watching them is hilarious.  It's like a litter of puppies.  They crawl all over each other.  I think she really thinks they are there for her entertainment.  Such a blessing for all 3 of them!

 

She also has her own little friends too.  SO cute!

We don't go to the Dr. until next month, but here are "my" stats:)

• We just used our last size 3 diaper.  On to size 4!!!
• Wearing 12 month clothes
• Eating three meals a day of baby food.  Working on table food.  All forms of crackers we like, the rest???
• Drinking whole milk out of a bottle.  Don't like sippy cup yet.
• Crawling, but still prefers scooting around.
• Can stand when holding on to something.
• Says Hi, Mama, Dada, Lila, Cooper, Bye Bye, puppy and Uh Oh.
• Waves bye bye, claps when she's excited and fake laughs or pants like a dog if no one is paying attention to her  (??)

So far...my favorite stage with little miss is this one!  ( I think I say that every month, but I Really mean it this time)!

I can't wait to see what God has in store for her precious life.  We are so in love!!  Can't believe in 1 month she will be a year old!!
