Photos from Caroline's 22nd Month

Caroline dug in her bag and found her extra set of clothes and decided to try to put them on herself. She's not too bad at it. My big girl!

Wearing Mommy's shoes


Caroline reading to her Minnie. She loves her so much!

We decided to put my wedding dress on. It was fun! Caroline loved hiding under it!

Loving some snuggle time with Daddy!

Mother's Day picture with my TWO girls!

My mother's day dinner: steak, rice casserole, fried corn and bread along with some homemade strawberry cake...YUM!

Caroline got this out of her bag...she sure knows what to do with it.

Hanging out in bed with Daddy playing with her Easter basket.

My sleeping baby. She really does very well in her new bed!

She likes reading in her bed too.

First time in her new swimming pool. She loves it! She was having fun in her pool while Daddy was doing landscaping. He was jealous!

"Painting" for the first time except there is no paint, only water.

I love to watch my sleeping baby! She rarely falls asleep in the car these days and if she does, she wakes up when we stop. She must've been exhausted this day!

So ready to swim!

First time eating a banana whole

Loving some M&Ms

More of my sweet, sleeping baby! I just love to watch her sleep!

All dolled up

Mommy getting to enjoy some snuggle time with her 2 girls!

Here are a couple of fun videos:

This is a video of Caroline enjoying her Big Al doll that her Aunt Carrie gave her. She loves to dance to it while it sings. I guess we are training her right!

After bath, Caroline loves to "be a duck". She likes to put on her duck towel I made for her and sing "Six Little Ducks". It is so cute to see! I hope you enjoy this video!

Photos from Caroline's 21st Month

Caroline loves coloring with her Daddy!

Caroline had a blast playing basketball with her Daddy. She was so proud of herself for getting the ball in her hamper. Here is a video of all the excitement!

Caroline loves playing on our church's playground.

She has just amazed us at how she will do the whole length of it all.

I've been trying to capture it on video for a while now and finally got it.

It took a little coaxing and here it is.

Here is Caroline playing with her golf set.

I think she is practicing to golf with her Poppa one day.

Here is a video of her practicing.

This is our lovely set-up for the tornado warning that we received while David was away at a campout. It was definitely NO fun, but we were blessed to not have the tornado come close to us.

My cuties...LOVE this!

Caroline admiring herself in her Easter dress.

Family Easter Picture!

Caroline loves to go feed the ducks so we went as a family to enjoy them again.

She is so cute with them!

Fun in the attic. She thought she was the coolest being able to go up with Daddy.

We've been trying to train Caroline to use a blanket before we transition her to her big girl bed and this is how I found her one day. From the perspective of the door, I thought she was completely covered.

Family Movie Night

We watched a Mickey movie and ate pizza in the living room. Caroline loved all the special fun!

She loves pizza!

Our neighbor's son, Noah, has this John Deere tractor and he let Caroline ride it one day.

She had a blast! I was amazed at how well she could drive it.

She had never gotten on one of these before this day.

Photos from Caroline's 20th Month

HERE is a video of my little dancer. I've mentioned before that Caroline loves to dance, but this video shows some unique aspects of her dancing. One is that you will see that she can't stand to not have us all dancing with her (you'll see her point for me to come dance on the blanket). The other thing and the main thing that is so funny about this video is towards the end where she almost falls over because she has made herself so dizzy! It's too cute.

These first 2 photos are Caroline in her duck towel that I made before she was even a thought in our brains. I did this in a sewing class I was taking. I enjoyed it so much and Caroline loves this towel! She loves to be a duck at the end of her baths!

I really don't need any toys for Caroline, apparently all I need is to give her her cups and tops to play with. She loves to pretend like she is filling them up and drinking them.

Caroline with Grammy (David's Mom). This is the only picture I have from their visit except for the pics from Marbles Kids Museum (see the previous post).

Like I said, no toys needed.

The church does an annual ice skating trip with the kids. They don't have skates small enough for Caroline so she wasn't able to skate, but she really wished she could. Here are a couple of pictures of her enjoying the ice!

LOVE pictures of my baby sleeping!

So, this actually is something that Caroline is not allowed to do, but when I came into the living room after being in the back of the house, I thought she was so cute watching TV like this, I had to take a picture!

MOST of the time, I love going and seeking out what Caroline is doing. This was one of those moments. She's sitting in the closet reading her new books.

***I have to make a huge point here. If you notice, up until this point, Caroline's hair has been mostly straight. She had a little curl at the bottom, but now it is all over her head. It was literally like one day she woke up with curls ALL over her head. It's gorgeous! It still amazes me that one day it was straight and the next, curly. I love your curls, sweet girl!***

David's grandparents came to visit this month and Caroline LOVED getting to play with them! It is such a blessing to have them in our lives and in Caroline's life. They have always been so amazing to us and are such a blessing. Here are some pictures from their visit!

Caroline REALLY loves her Papa!

Another "seek and find" moment with Caroline. She was in our closet this time with the broom. Who knows why, but she thought it was fun!

One of Caroline's friends, Micah, came for visit. They had a blast!

This girl already loves to cook with her Mommy! I often let her help me scramble the eggs in the morning. She thinks it's the best and *most* of the time, she keeps them in the bowl.

She loves books (and being practically naked), but what kid doesn't enjoy that, right?

Visiting and eating with some of our closest friends, the Murrays.

They love on Caroline and she loves them!
