Happy 17 Month Birthday Caroline!!

2/11/14


Really, 17 months already!!!!  Man, I thought time went fast with Olivia, but it is going even faster with Caroline.  She changes so much each and every day!!  I love watching all that she is learning, mostly good, from her big sister!!!  She is so super smart too, it is crazy!!

She has gone down to 1 nap a day most of the time.  It is hard for her to make it that long, especially on days when Olivia has school and she doesn't get a nap until after 1, but she is making it!!  She has been hitting a little and pulling hair so we have had to start putting her in time out.  She doesn't really get it but hopefully it will set in soon.  She takes out a handful of Olivia's hair daily it seems.  We have been trying to work more with arts/coloring.  She still isn't into coloring, just taking the lids on and off the markers!!  She is getting more into reading books now.  She actually gets them for me to read to her at night!!

This little girl is so freaking funny and sassy!!!  She loves playing "Where's Caroline?" with anything.  The other day she played it with a lunch bag on her head.  She has also played it with a basket on her head!!  She loves to pour out all the food in the play kitchen and walk around with the bucket on her head just smiling!!!!  Or, she puts a blanket on her head and just walks around with it!!!  She loves to tell you boo and have you play boo with her!!  She also loves to put an oven mitt on her hand and come after you roaring!!!  It is so funny.  If you have food and she wants it, she starts walking toward you with her mouth open and her tongue out!!!  She is really hilarious!!  She loves to be chased too!!  When she pretends to spank herself, I can't stop laughing!!!

Girl eats all the time!!!  She is always in the pantry trying to pick something out to eat.  When she is done, you better watch out bc she is going to throw that plate and food at you.  She hasn't learned patience yet!!

She has become aware when she is wet or poopy.  She tells me when she has pooped and sometimes when she is wet.  She doesn't like it at all.  You can always tell when she is pooping bc she likes to be by herself, in her own room or just playing by herself.  Funny how that happens!!  Hopefully she will potty train easy.

She is talking up a storm and knows lots of words - love you, excuse me, yeah, shoe, sock, book, sissy, moo, apple, beep, please, thank you, dink (drink), sorry, I did it
