Caroline is 1!

She is officially 1 (as of two days ago).. And birthday pictures to come.. still having technical issues, and then, as predicted by me.. we went to one week of school and all got sick, so we've been down for the week. But, on the mend now! We did celebrate her birthday though, with grandparents and Lori, pizza and some cupcakes. She got a shopping cart, a stroller, a purse, an ice cream truck, some outfits, a longhorn cheerleading outfit, and a little cd player. As of right now, the boys are definitely more interested in her gifts than she is! (but, that was part of my plan)!
She is starting to walk, takes about 4 steps at a time, and is very proud.. she practices all the time. I predict that within the next week or so, she will be off and running! Still eating everything in sight and switched to milk like the champ that she is. Nothing phases this child!
She loves to dance and clap her hands. She says some words here and there, but definitely says outside! This is a word used frequently in our house (a.k.a. -- "Boys, go outside!).. so it's not surprising she picked it up..
She "jabbers" all the time though. Still loves her brothers and wants to do anything they do, much to their dismay. She's so tough, they will knock her down and she goes right back for more!
She is the sweetest little baby and I'm sad she's growing up. Caroline fills us with so much joy and just perfectly completed our family! Happy birthday sweetheart!
Love, mommy
