11 months

Caroline is now 11 months! I can't believe my baby will be 1 in just a month! Ahh! It went too fast. I miss cuddling with her...now she just wants to walk around and explore and is not as interested in me. Sad. But, last night I picked her up out of her crib and she laid on my chest asleep for 10 minutes. I loved it. But, then she woke up and it took me 1/2 an hour to get her back to sleep...so worth it!

She has changed so much this past month. I may be biased since I am her mother...but she is just absolutely beautiful! I think we will have to be careful to keep her away from the boys when she is older. *One of the biggest things is she started walking! She took a couple steps at 10 1/2 months and slowly started taking more. Now she is all over the place. In the past couple days she has started to get back up and walk after she falls instead of crawl. *She doesn't really have any new words. It's still mostly dadda and once in a while we will get a momma. I say "uh-oh" to her every time something falls and she has said the "uh" part of it a couple times. *I now know that she can understand some of the things I say to her. If I say hi or bye she will start to wave. If I say YAY or sing "If You're Happy and You Know It" she will clap. *She is starting to learn to be soft with little babies. I watch a little girl that is 4 almost 5 months old a few days a week. Caroline would really like to clobber her so we are working on being soft and not hitting the baby or pulling her hair. I have to watch her like a hawk because the minute I turn around she usually goes to pull her hair. Not that she is being mean, she just doesn't understand yet...but she'll get there. *As always she is a water baby. She LOVES to be in the water and wet! She likes splashing herself in the face and then screaming. :)

I tried to take just one picture of her at 11 months....but it tuned out to be a lot more. I bought her this tutu for her 1 year pictures. We decided to try it on. I couldn't believe how happy she was when I put it on her. She knew she was getting dressed up pretty!
