Caroline turned 1 on January 7th. She has been such a joy to our family. Before she came along, I was a little worried about how it would be to have two children. Now, I'm so glad with have two. She doubles the laughter and the fun (and the laundry but that's ok). It has been so fun to watch Eliza grow in her role as bit sister. So far, these sisters are very opposite, but I have the feeling that they will get along (most of the time) and that they will love each other forever.
Caroline at One:
- She weighs 20 lbs 6.5 oz and is 28 3/8 inches tall.
- has 3 teeth with a couple more trying to pop through.
- is not walking but cruising everywhere.
- She loves to stand up on her own without holding on to anything, and she claps for herself. She is so proud.
- is a picky eater. She won't eat baby puffs or several table foods that she use to like. It is hard finding what she will eat.
- She will eat (and loves to eat) string cheese, baby food sweet potato, graham crackers, waffles, and pizza (she is her father's child).
- She has FINALLY started sleeping better. I mean, she usually goes to bed in her crib awake with her blanet. Then she wakes up once around 2 am, snuggles/eats, and goes back to sleep. So that is nice.
- We found out she is allergic to penicillin.
- She loves to be read to. Especially if there are flaps to lift, or touch and feel books.
- She is still friendly with most everyone and loves to climb up in your lap.
- She LOVES going through her sister's room and pulling out all the toys she can find.
- She is very sweet and we cannot get enough of her.
Soon I will post pictures from her birthday party.
We love you Carebear!
