Happy New Year! It's going to be a great year, I can feel it!
Caroline turned 17 months on December 28th, so before I forget, I want to record what she is up to and all the new things she is learning...or brag about her!
December brought Caroline lots of sicknesses...and Daddy too. Luckily I have managed to stay healthy. I've got plenty of other things to worry about, like growing a baby! I blame it all on Gymboree. She loves Gymboree and I love taking her, but EVERY SINGLE TIME she has gone she has gotten sick. So no more Gymboree until flu season is over. The last thing I want is the flu for her, or for me while pregnant! For now we still stick to playing with our little friends Jolina and Isabella.
I really don't even know where to start with how much she is growing and learning. *First of all, she is getting taller, but somehow maintaining her 21.6 lbs. I don't know exactly how tall she is now, but her pants are getting shorter! *Her vocabulary has really started to grow. She tries to repeat most every thing we say. The cutest thing was the other night when I told her to say Uncle Angelo...she said something that sounded like this "cucko an-0". It was super cute. Here are a few of her words: jacket, bye bye shoes (this is what she says when we are going somewhere), hi Dadda, WOW, Papou, Yaya, outside, burrr, poopo, Kaka (which basically means poop in Greek), baby, etc.... *She is very good at following directions...so long as she's not tired and it is something she wants to do. *She loves her potty. She says Poopo and sits on it...then she will say psssss and wipe herself. It's hilarious, but she has yet to actually go on the potty. Once she does it once I think she will catch on quickly (cause she's so smart). *She LOVES her babies. Santa and Papou and her Aunt and Uncle brought her some pretty cool baby stuff. She loves to put her babies to bed and tell me, shhh! She loves to feed them...and she loves to hit them, throw them, and kiss them. What a sweetie. lol. *She likes to build tall towers with her blocks and knock them down...I probably shouldn't have taught her that because other kids are really not going to like that if she knocks their tower down. Oh well. *She loves to jump...especially on the bed...which I also shouldn't have taught her since we plan to switch her to a big girl bed either before or a little after the new baby comes. I can just imagine her staying up all night jumping on the bed. *As of January 1st she is off the bottle. I'm glad we finally did this because now she eats much better since she's not drinking quite as much milk. *Caroline absolutely LOVES her daddy! She will see him and just wave and say "hi Dadda" over and over and over! A few times we waved bye bye and blew kisses from the window when he was leaving for work. Now ALL DAY she will want to look out the window and just say "Dadda, Dadda". She gets very excited when he comes home and runs to him. I love that she loves him so much! *We have to be careful what we do and say because she watched every move and remembers things that I never would have guessed. *Forget the parks and playgrounds...our child LOVES to run around Target for fun! Seriously, it is so funny to watch. She gets super excited and just runs! She will pick things up and talk about them. The other day she found the balls and was yelling BALL BALL so loud. Then she found the baby dolls...she found the biggest box and tried dragging it with her. It was so funny! Luckily we are able to leave without any fits for not buying everything. *She dresses herself. It is really funny. She changes her pants (she can't quite do shirts herself) all day long. And she really loved skirts and tutus! I need to get it on video. *She still loves Baby Signing Time and can sign pretty much every sign on all 4 videos. The other night we were babysitting JoJo while her parents went on a date. I said to her "Caroline, is JoJo your friend?" and she signed friend...I didn't even know she knew that one!
That's about all I can think of this month! Happy 17 months my cute little princess!
Cheese!

Don't forget she can say "Bampa" :o)
That's why I said these are "Some" of her words...she says a lot of things so I can't really list them all...I said Bampa in her 16 mo. post :-)
