14 Months Old ~ September 30, 2010

Photos from Caroline's 14th month!

Learning to walk!

Caroline loves to read!

Fun with sweet friends!

This is my sweet, little OCD child.

She was taking these rocks and separating them into piles of the same size rocks.

Caroline LOVES her books!

Pictures from Caroline's first BAMA game!

We went to the Alabama vs. Duke game on September 18. Of course, we won!

First McDonald's and she shared with Nonna!

Nonna and Caroline had to take a break from the IMMENSE sun to cool down and have some dinner.

It was 62 to 13 when we left. I don't remember the final score.

Caroline and Poppa - she loved the ride!

It was an exhausting day! This baby zonked on the way home!!!

Fun with Poppa!

Caroline's first playgroup at DEPC. She LOVES it!

This was also her first experience with dot paint. I was SUPER nervous, but she had fun!

Another one of Caroline's favorite things:

playing with the dirty clothes and IN the laundry basket.

Caroline BEGGED to go outside to play in the rain so, we did. She LOVED it! She kept trying to walk out into the yard, but every time she walked under the run-off from the house, she would stop, frozen and cry. I couldn't get her to understand that if she would keep walking, she would no longer have the hard rain on her head. She was so cute!

This is after I got her in out of the rain and she really wanted to go back out!

A fun day at Sunset Park

She LOVES this toy at playgroup!

Caroline loves to play in the bath. It's one of her favorite things. Her is a video of her playing!

13 Months Old ~ August 30, 2010

Here are a few pictures and videos from Caroline's 13th month

Caroline got this fridge magnet set for her birthday and she loves it!

There's nothing like my sleeping baby!

Eating muffins for the first time...she loved them!

We visited the NC Museum of Science. I didn't take many pictures, but here is one of Caroline looking at the large dinosaur skeletons. She had a great time!

Finally getting used to drinking out of a cup!

She loved sitting on top of the coffee table playing. Now, we have to keep her from getting on it!

I really just LOVE this picture of Caroline! It is so sweet! She is playing with a pair of her pants here. I don't know why she enjoys it so much, but she does.

"Rock, Rock" She loves to "rock, rock" in her rocking chair.

Caroline working on walking.

Caroline likes to do this when I am feeding her. It's to cute!

"Where's your belly?" Caroline found her belly!

A Sweet Comparison

I decided to do a comparison of 5 of the weekly photos I did of Caroline in her first year.

It's interesting to see how she progressed over the year.

One week old

Three months old

Six months old

Nine months old


Twelve months old

This picture is a comparison of her one week photo and twelve month photo with her gloworm.

I used so you can see how much she has grown!

You can click on it to see it bigger.

Caroline turns ONE!

July 30, 2010

I can't believe my baby is ONE!

It seems like it was just yesterday that we were preparing to leave for the hospital for the induction. It wasn't, of course. It was a year ago today and I am SO glad that my baby is here!

Caroline, you are the light of my life. I am so proud of you.

You make me smile every day. I love you, sweet girl!

As you can see, I tried to get a last set of growth pictures, but my sweet Caroline wasn't very happy that we were trying to take her picture.

I debated whether or not to put these up, but I thought you guys should see all of our life! ;)

I started Caroline's birthday out by going into her room singing "Happy Birthday". Here is a video. I am not sure she knew what to think.

Daddy came home with flowers for me and Caroline. I got roses and Caroline got an assortment. It was such a sweet thing! We really enjoyed them!

Caroline's Flowers

Mommy's Flowers ( I am SO, SO happy to be a Mommy!)

We went to Cracker Barrel for Caroline's first meal out.

She had grilled chicken, green beans and biscuits, of course!

She loved everything, but the green beans!

Very Messy Baby!

I made Caroline "Happy Birthday" cookies since she had already

had her birthday cake in Mobile. She loved it!

Singing "Happy Birthday!"

This video is Caroline getting her first Happy Birthday call from David's grandfather. He calls all of us to sing to us every birthday. It is so special!
