Sixteen Months

Caroline turned 16 months on the 10th. One week ago, already. Wow, time flies!

She has been easy-going and mellow from day one, and that has not changed. She adores her big brother and sisters and is fascinated with what they're doing--especially Lauren. She loves Daddy, but Mommy is her favorite. :D For now, anyway.


*Walks almost all the time now, sometimes unsteadily. So cute watching her toddle around!Still scoots or crawls every so often.
*Talks! Says: Hi-i!, Mama, or "Ma-mee", Da or Dada, Bup-pa for pumpkin, Ba for ball, Baba for baby, something like Kiddledee for kitty, Pa for Pongo, Duh! for done, Uh-oh, Ah-ah for all gone, 'Ple for apple, Popo for poopoo...
*Is a very fussy eater! She spits out food, blows raspberries and clamps her mouth shut tight when she doesn't want a certain food. There are *lots* she doesn't want!
*Loves baby whole-milk yogurt, popcorn, baby food fruit, Pirate Booty cheese puffs.
*Splashes like crazy in the tub! Loves bath time with Austin and Lauren!
*Wears mostly 18 mos. clothes, but a few 12 mos.
* Gets into everything!!
*Walks around the house carrying little things: Hot Wheels cars, paper scraps, Little People, toy food, plastic lipstick, small toy animals, tiny Tupperware lids, trash...
*Never cries when we drop her off at the church nursery--from the first time she's been there! Mellow baby!
* Nurses three times a day
*Her favorite toy? Books beat toys any day! She spends a lot of time looking at books. Toys she plays with often: her Dora ride-on car, Lauren's piggy bank that counts the money you push in, toy food.

Whoo loves you, Baby? (Ha ha! Couldn't resist, with that owl hat. ;) ) We do!

I had to come on here looking for more photos of Lauren after receiving your Christmas card/letter and seeing her curls. Oh she is just growing up and I can't believe those curls. Too cute!! You do have your hands full but a very blessed full too. ;)
