I Love...

-watching you explore EVERYTHING! You are all over the place and getting into everything. It's so much fun to see you fascinated by the simplest things. The wonder of a child!

-your interest in books. We have now put some of your books on the bottom shelf of the bookcase in your room and you love to play with them and "read" them. I often find you back there after you have wandered off. I'm so glad you already love books!

-seeing you discover your stuffed Beluga Whale for the first time. Your grandparents got it for you when you were in Mommy's tummy during our first visit to the Atlanta Aquarium.

-just how big you are getting! I was making the guest bed one day and threw the pillows into the hall. You were in my room and proceeded to crawl over them to get to me. They are very huge and you were doing such a great job!

-time at the pool with you! You love it too! This was our first trip to the pool, just you and me. You and Daddy went earlier in the week. We met our next door neighbor, Olivia, and her sons Noah and Luke. You had so much fun running around the kiddie pool in your float. The pool is the perfect height for that. You and Noah had so much fun playing together.

-your sweet personality! You are so hysterical! I love watching you laugh. You are such and incredibly happy baby and I am so thankful for that!

Here is a funny video of you scraping a yogurt cup around the kitchen.

Here is a video of you walking around the pool & playing with Noah. Mrs. Olivia and Luke are in the video too!

I Love...

-watching you dig into your toy bins! You just love finding the treasures in each one! I love watching you pull up to standing so you can reach everything in the bin.

-how adventurous you are. You just kept trying to get to everything in this table and ended up sitting on it. You should probably take advantage of this now, because you won't be able to do it for very long!

-how joyful you are! Daddy put you in this blanket and lifted you from the floor. You thought this was so funny!

-how you are entertained by anything and everything. You are such a joy to watch as you play and discover new things, even if it is just plastic bags or your blanket that you enjoy pulling off the floor now!

-hanging out with you and our friends from SABC. They love to dote on you and you love all the attention!

You with Mr. Gary Harrell

You and Kenleigh Wilder

-to watch you sleep. I still LOVE to watch you sleep! You are so sweet! I don't get to do this much anymore, but it is wonderful when I do. Sometimes I sneak into your room at night just to watch you snoozing away. I love you, sweet Caroline!

-your 10 month photo.

-this picture of your eyes. They are so gorgeous!

10 Months Old

Caroline turned 10 months old on May 30th. I can't believe she is so close to being a year old! Here are a few pictures from our amateur photo session. Our sweet neighbors let us take the pictures in front of their hydrangea bush. I think they turned out rather well! You can see her two little teeth really well in these pictures. She is such a sweet baby! Her personality is really starting to show now. She is still a wonderful sleeper and sleeps almost every night between 11 - 12 hours and takes two naps during the day that are usually an hour or more. She is such a joy and blessing to us!

I Love...

-walking into your room in the morning after you wake up and seeing a big smile on your face!!! I pick you up and you always lay on my soldier & snuggle for a bit. I love that time with you!

-your baths. You have SO much fun during your baths! You have now figured out how to turn around and stand up to be able to get to your toys. It's very scary! I have to stay very close!

You ended up backwards in the tub after your escapade.

-how much fun you have with ANYTHING! You are such a good baby. You do like to make messes though. You tried to completely clean out your closet the other day. I'm so glad I was able to stop you before it got to be too much!

-how funny this is. Your Daddy just had to put this on your head after our photo shoot the other day. You tried your best to get it off, but never could and because you are such a chill baby you just went on about your business like it wasn't bothering you.

I Love...

-playing in the water with you. Notice the first picture. It was your first reaction when we put you in your new toy. The water was really cold and you didn't like everything spraying at you. Once Daddy turned down the spraying, you had lots of fun!

-you relaxing on me! I love just chill time with you. You aren't willing to sit still and cuddle often, but when you are, I love it!

-your first two teeth! You have had them for weeks now, but I finally got a picture where you can see them! I discovered them for the first time on April 10th.

The video below is Caroline walking down the hall with our help, of course! I can't believe she is getting so big!
