Our baby Caroline is now 17 months (on the 4th). I cannot believe how blessed we've been. One of our friends, Ben, went home bragging to his wife and kids the other day after spending a few minutes with her. She's so sweet and smart. Okay, okay, I'll stop. But she is.
Lately, we've been amazed at how her language has blossomed. She's always been a talky girl, but she can communicate so much now. She understands instructions, questions, and can sign "i love you," although she reserves that only for her daddy. I was going to post a video, but there was an error (of course), so I'll just tell you about it: We ask Caroline what sounds certain animals make and she can give us a puppy dog, a kitty cat, a snake, a monkey, and a lion (Go Ouachita!). Sometimes she can do a pig. She can also make the sound of a car and , we found out today, a train. She says "SpongeBop" and dances to the pirate's song. She can identify just about anything in her books and lots of people besides Mama and Daddy. Most surprising is "Chelsea," which comes out more like "Chessy." She had to learn that one fast when Chelsea had some ice cream that she wanted!

This morning she sat on the bathroom counter as I got ready. She picked up the clippers and tried to trim her toenails, then she grabbed deodorant and tried to apply it under her arms. She is SO growing up. Next month she'll be a year and a half!
She decided it was so much easier to dump her goldfish in her lap.
Thanks for the new kicks, Aunt Michelle!
Do you think she's old enough now to start cooking? Chris thinks maybe its time for her to mow the yard.
