Wow, where did the time go? I have been neglecting my blog due to the fact that I just had a baby! If I kept my blog up then I would be neglecting my children...but alas, the children are asleep and instead of sleeping myself I am going to play catchup!
Caroline is now 22 months...almost 23. She is just so amazing! The saying about children her age being like sponges is so true! All it takes is Tom and I doing something one time, and she is doing it too! We have to be VERY careful with what we do in front of her and what we allow her to do. One time and it is SO hard to reverse.
She likes to pretend to shave like daddy (she would probably really shave if we didn't keep the razor out of reach). She likes to pretend to go potty and wipe (haha, I wish she would really go potty, but for now, she just pretends). She likes to put lotion on like mommy. She likes to pretend to cook. She likes to clean up everything. She loves to wash her hands in the sink...which she does every time I get in the shower causing me to run out of hot water! Since having her baby brother come home she has really started to play with her baby dolls. She does everything with them that she sees mommy do for AJ...including trying to breastfeed. It is quite hilarious.
She learns and says new words every day. It's getting to the point where almost anything I say she copies. Between her signing and her words she and I communicate quite well. She LOVES to say "what's this" about EVERYTHING!! Even if she knows what it is, she will still say "What's this"...and she will say it over and over and over. When I say what she wants me to say she smiles and says "YES!" She's just so cute!
She LOVES the beach! We have to be so careful to stay right next to her because she will run right into the water without a care in the world. She likes to play in the sand too, but not as much as the water!
Tom was out of town this past week. Without having her daddy to play with, Caroline started to get jealous of the time I spend with AJ. She kept telling me "Momma, baby swing" and hitting the swing. Then she would say "Momma, play?" I feel so bad that I can't play with her like we used to...but soon enough we will all be able to play and she will have a new play mate! Sometimes when we are driving down the road she will start yelling "Play? Wawa?" I think she means she wants to play at the park at the beach, lol. Tonight when we went to the beach and when she saw the other kids playing she was SO excited! She just kept pointing and yelling "kids, kids!" She sure loves to play with kids! Pretty soon I will be babysitting Jolina again and she will have her little playmate back!
Caroline loves to watch Signing Time and Elmo...still! Haha! She will ask me to watch Signing Time...but when she says it, it sounds just like she is saying "Satan"...so funny!
She is a good eater now. She likes so many things I can't name them all. She LOVES to dip. Every time she eats she asks me for something to dip her food in.
That's all I can think of for now...plus I seriously need to go to bed! We love you Caroline! You are such a good big sister!
Dad, right after a wave got him.
I loved watching Caroline play in the sand with my Dad....I wish we could have stayed longer, but AJ was crying and it was windy.
