Without the monthly age post, I don't feel like I'm getting all the Mommy memorabilia written down. This post is just to make sure that even in the crazy stage we are in, I remember some preciousness and details :) Sadly, after Christmas, where I felt like I was attached to my camera, I haven't done very good at snapping many pictures.
Caroline, 14 months:
Oh, sweet Caroline...I don't even know where to start! The easy, happy go lucky, baby you have been, is a thing of the past. Since you turned one, HOLLA!! You have worn me out! This pic is prefect for my sweet, stinker baby. Black eye, tongue out and busy.
It could be the 12 teeth you have cut (all 4 molars this week)! Or the fact that you have been sick every other week since Christmas, but as long as you are full, rested, getting what you want and on Mommy's hip, you are happy;) You have learned how loud your voice is and put it to good use. Luckily for me, you still love to use it to sing, talk, and laugh. One of my favorites right now is when Daddy sings, "Sweet Caroline", you sing the "ba ba bas"! You are learning more words every day. Animals and their noises are your favorite. I think you believe the bath tub is called the quack quack from the ducks:) A couple of phrases have even come out, "read the book", "throw the ball", "bye bye Daddy", "Hello Baby" (talking to pictures of herself). You named your lovie Night Night, just like Lila did at this age. Any time some one says "I love you", "bye bye" or "goodnight", you make a kiss sound! SO sweet!
You are still a really good eater and will try just about anything. You still sleep from 7-7. You are getting braver with your cruising around and standing a lot! Your favorite thing to do is walk around behind your push toys and be with your sister.
My Lila girl, this stage is the most fun and the most exhausting with you. From sun up (or a little before) to sun down, you are talking! I am so thankful for my genius, verbal girl, but some days...you wear me out!! Luckily enough for me, the things you say are priceless! I wish I could remember them all and write them all down, but that would be impossible. I think you are planning on being a lawyer when you grow up, because you are always trying to negotiate in your favor; one more pretzel, 7 minutes not 5 left of tv watching, just a little more bath water, it's good for your tummy you say:)
One of my favorite things right now is your love for your Daddy. Every night when he gets home you say, "I want to get married with you"! Melts my heart. Mostly, because he says "okay, let's dance".
You are so big, wanting to be just like Mommy with your makeup and nails. You change your outfit no less than 5 times a day. You insist on dresses that twirl and really love to be in charge of what socks you wear?? Today you went to the store in your Ariel princess dress, with pink cowboy boots and leg warmers. you are definitely an original:) You are so kind and sweet to your friends and your sister. Your imagination is amazing and you crack us up every day. Your sassiness is going to be a problem for you, but I think you save most of it for Mommy:)
You still don't each very much outside toddler foods. Chicken nuggets, mac and cheese, hot dogs and chicken noodle soup are pretty much what you like. Luckily fruits are your favorite. I can't believe that I am about to enroll you in preschool!! Where did our time go?? Love you and all the fun you bring to our life!!
