Caroline: 20 Months

Caroline is 20 months old now! Wow...pretty soon we won't be going by months anymore. Can't believe my baby will be 2 soon and will be the BIG SISTER! She is so funny. Some of the cute things she does...


  • She learned how to say excuse me. When she burps she says "susme"...when she toots she says "susme" and if I am in her way she either says "beep beep" or "susme". I think it is so adorable. I don't know what we fed her the other day...but something that gave her gas. Haha, she started saying "susme" before she even tooted...so funny.

  • She likes to talk on the phone. She will just grab it and start babbling off peoples names and some other stuff I don't understand...."hi yaya", "hi poopoo" (that's Papou in Caroline language), "hi bampa", "nana", "ojo" (that's Angelo is Caroline language), "dada" .... it's just too cute watching her tilt her little head and babble to every one.

  • She LOVES Jello! She pretty much wakes up every morning asking me for "ojo" (that's what she calls it...and that's how she says Angelo too).

  • I don't know what happened to asking for milk and signing it...she just asks me for "wawa" now and her "dink" and sometimes "jew" (juice)...haha...it doesn't matter what I give her when she asks for any of these things...they all seem to mean just any kind of drink.

  • She doesn't eat much. I don't know how she stays the same weight because I think she only gets about 4 bites in at meal times. She has a few snacks that she really likes, but as far as a big meal...nope! Her favorite foods are: watermelon, oranges, grapes, popcorn, jello, Cheetos, chips, yogurt, cheerios, "faffles"....that's what she now calls waffles, and pancakes!

  • She loves chairs....any chair that is her size she just gets so excited about...especially if it has buckles.

  • She is no longer allowed to wear zippy jammies! She takes them off and her diaper and we will find her naked in bed. She seems to do ok with pants and shirt jammies...at least we haven't found her naked yet. I have to make sure the pants cover the diaper completely though or she will undue the diaper. Silly girl. I would really love to potty train her...but I figure we will now wait till after baby comes since everyone tells me kids usually revert when you bring a baby home.

  • She STILL won't keep earrings in and loves to wear bows.

  • She likes to do things herself and when she can't, she bites whatever it is that she can't do and gets pretty upset.

  • She likes to color...especially with markers all over herself, my carpet, and furniture!

  • She LOVES her BIG big girl bed.

That's all I can think of for now! Happy 20 months! Maybe...just maybe...at 21 months she will be an official BIG SISTER...but, it might be a little after that. :-)



Watching YouTube videos with daddy...one of her favorite things to do with him. They usually watch kitty cats or puppies.


Bath time!

When she got out of the tub last night she was being pretty goofy. She wrapped this towel around her and was walking around saying "CHEE" (cheese)!

Caroline on her BIG big girl bed...she wouldn't look at me.
Poor Caroline...right after we finished with the stomach bug we both got bad colds. We seem to have exchanged illnesses with the baby I watch. We got her cold and she got our stomach bug. Maybe I should stop telling them to share all the time, haha.
