Happy Birthday Caroline!

Technically her birthday was yesterday, but I didn't have time to get online yesterday. :)

I can't believe that the beautiful and tiny newborn I held in my arms 1 year ago is now the independent and fun little girl I hold in my arms today.
We had a busy weekend with her party, pictures and house guests. I will upload pictures soon. But for now, an update on Caroline!
At one year, Caroline:
-is taking steps! She was only taking one step here or there, but last night she took 6! (walking toward me)
-is saying "uh-oh", "hi", "dada", "mama" (very infrequently...but at least she finally says it!)
-shaking her head no when she doesn't want something
-still has 4 teeth...no new ones since February!
-loves chicken nuggets!
-is just about weaned
-loves whole milk!
-is still putting everything in her mouth (when does that stop?)
-gives kisses with her mouth wide open
-loves to go to Little Gym classes
-can hang on the bar at gym class without anyone holding on to her
-laughs all the time...especially when she hears someone else laugh
-loves to "read" her books
-takes everything out of drawers and cabinets
-is more fun than I could have ever possible imagined
