Walking and Talking!

Every day Caroline is walking more and talking more!  Just want to make sure I get these down since I am thinking about it.  She is 14 1/2 months and these are some things that she is up to.

*She weighs about 22 pounds.  We went to the doctor this past weekend for a virus that has given her bumps on her face.  The girl has some of the craziest skin!

*Since her tubes, she has been so healthy.  I know it could be a coincidence with the time of the year, but either way - I am a believer!

*She is talking so much now.  When we say a word she can do a pretty good job of repeating it back.  Of course, this is where being her momma and dadda come into play, because they may not sound like words to anyone else.

*One of the big things she was fussing about was that any time she wanted us to pick her up or she wanted to eat and needed to get up into her high chair, she would just fuss because she didn't know how to tell us that she wanted to go up.  So we taught her to say 'up' and she uses it all the time now.  It is so precious because she really emphasizes the 'p' and sometimes even gets going and says 'up-a'.  She is even starting to pick up on saying 'down' because she would get up and then fuss to get back down.  We are getting there.

*She loves the boys and they love her and are so good with her.  She can say 'Iley' and 'Arley' now when they come around.  She gets really excited as soon as they walk in her room when she wakes up and she has to be put down to go 'pat-pat' them.  She is also getting pretty good at reinforcing any 'no' way me throw their way!

*The girl loves her some ice.  She can say 'ice' and points to just about any cup we have because she wants us to share our ice.  If you need her to be entertained for a while, just give her a cup of ice and she is good for about 30 minutes.

*She has started giving real kisses.  In the mornings, I usually have her in my arms because I take her to school, so I give Jason a kiss before I leave and lately she has started giving real kisses of her own.

*She is starting to get quite adventurous with her climbing.  She loves to get up on the furniture and she can turn herself around and slide off of it on her belly.  She can also climb up her slide by herself and slide down.

*When you get the toothbrush out, she says 'Ahh!' and reaches for the brush to work on those pearly whites.  She now has all four of her molars (hallelujah!), so she has 12 teeth total.

*She still loves to read books, but walking has opened up a new world.  She just walks from wall to wall and one piece of furniture to the next. 

Speaking of walking, here she was on April 21st (13 1/2 months) doing her first bit of good walking.  Before this she had taken 2 or 3 steps, but this was her first time really taking controlled steps.



This is her less than a month later (5.15) looking like she has been walking her whole life!



I know I have said a hundred times that she gets more fun every day, but it really is true.  It is so much fun to watch her learn and grow and become her own little person! 

Sidenote:  There is less than a month before it is officially summer time!!!  WHOOP WHOOP!!
