15 months!

I don't even know where to begin this month...she is just learning so many things and doing so many cute things, I just can't keep track. I'm going to have to do weekly updates of her! Haha.

As far as I know she is about 20-21 lbs? I'll update that part after we go to the dr. on Tuesday. So check back if you are a grandparent, aunt, uncle...I don't suspect anyone else would be that interested in how much she weighs. :)


*Her words now include (some of these are repeats...I don't feel like going back and looking at last month, so I'm just going to list them all): TOUCH--She points to things that are out of her reach and says this. BALL--which she says over and over and over when she sees one in the store or if she sees something shaped like a ball while we are driving. SO cute. BABY--starting to get clearer now, but I think I am still the only one who can understand she is saying that. DADDA, MAMMA, BYE-BYE--I love when she waves bye-bye...it's just so cute! O--translation=Hello. WHAT'S THAT?, WHAT'S THIS? JO-JO, HI, DI-translation=diaper, UH-OH, THANK YOU, WA=water. That's all I can think of. *She loves to give 5. If you see her, ask her and she'll do it as hard as she can. * She signs "milk" which she signs for any drink, "more", and "eat"....we are working very hard on either talking more or using signs because she has taken screaming to a whole new level recently. When she is frustrated, wants something, tired...basically anything she is upset about she SCREAMS at the top of her lungs. It's quite annoying so hopefully next month we have a lot more signs and words to report! *She knows where her belly, head, nose, mouth, and eyes are. Although, for some reason ever since she learned head she refuses to point to her nose...she will only point to other peoples noses. *She likes to look at books and for me to read to her. She is starting to point to things in the books when I ask where they are. She always points with her middle finger. It's very funny to me. *She will follow most any command as long as it is something she is interested in doing. My favorite is "let's go take a bath"...she runs to the bathroom door (which is always closed), and pushes on it as hard as she can. I start the water and she starts throwing all her bath toys in. When that is done, she puts her arms up so I can take off her shirt...then she tries as hard as she can to get her pants and diaper off. She's just too funny. *She loves to dance, play peek-a-boo, play outside on her slide. *She likes to help me do things...one being every time I try to go to the bathroom BY MYSELF she bangs on the door or screams till I open it and she likes to hand me the toilet paper. haha. Then she likes to flush the toilet. We are getting her a potty for Christmas so maybe, just maybe, she will let me pee in peace!!!!!! *She has two good friends...Isabella, and Jolina (aka Jo-Jo). She loves to play with them. Jolina is at our house almost every day so she is always asking for her when she's not here. Most of the time she is nice to her, but she does have her moments...I think she will be a good big sister one day though ;-). *She is a picky eater...I'm working on getting more veggies in (any suggestions?). She would really prefer to eat pasta and cheese all the time. I wonder who she takes after?? *She likes to climb on everything...the kitchen table, the coffee table (which she is currently sitting on and looking at me waiting for me to tell her to get down), the sofa, our bed, etc... *She doesn't like to watch too many things on TV, but one thing she really LOVES is Baby Signing Time. This is a lifesaver for me when I am trying to keep her up just a little longer so Tom can see her before bed. *One cute thing she did the other day--she had the baby dolls bottle, but she couldn't find her baby doll...so she found a picture of a baby on the box of diapers and started kissing it and feeding it her bottle. So cute! She is going to be a GREAT big sister/mommy one day :-) *She has 14 teeth


I love my Caroline!

Wow, that was a lot! We are excited for this upcoming month. Halloween is in just a couple days. She is going to be a duck...the cutest duck ever! We're excited to go to a halloween party at church, and to go trick or treating with the cousins! Also, Caroline and I get to go to NEW MEXICO for my sisters baby shower in a couple weeks! I am so excited to see everyone!
