The Beach 2013

Ahhh! We finally got to take a trip to the beach last month! Trey and I took SG, and joined Meme, Poppy, and Sydney at the beach for a couple of days. Caroline got to go and stay with Nana and Pawpaw since we only had two bedrooms for everyone and because we knew she might not enjoy the 5+ hours drive. We enjoyed our time, and look forward to taking Caroline in the future! Here are a few pictures of our vacation!

18-19 Months!

Our baby girl is 19 months old already and boy is she ever continuing to grow at a rapid pace! Some days I feel so tired I can't keep up! Here a few pictures and an update on what she's doing these days!

Sleep:
10-11 hours a night
1 nap- 2-3 hours usually

Development:

Words She's Saying:

Momma, Dadda, puppy, baby, es pease (yes please), NO, nanna (Susannah), ank you (thank you), eh e is (there she is), ish (fish), ey (hey), buh bye, Pawpaw, Nana, Meme

Things She's Doing:

*She LOVES any kind of stuffed animal or baby doll! One of her most favorite things to do is put them in her stroller and stroll them around the house. By the way, she is POSSESSIVE over the stroller. So you better watch out and not lay a finger on it when she's around or she'll chew you out in her baby language. Although Caroline doesn't seem to say as many words at this time as SG she still understands A LOT more than she verbalizes. I can give her simple directions for things that I'm not sure if she really understands and she'll do them.

*Caroline has just recently started to like being dressed up! I'm sure you can imagine where she gets this from (Susannah Grace). She's always loved wearing necklaces, bracelets, or purses but now that has progressed into wanting to wear princess dress too!

*She also LOVES swinging on our new swing set!

*She pretty much knows all her body parts (or the main ones).

*Caroline also knows a few animals and their sounds.

*In the last month or so baby girl has been into EVERYTHING. I have to constantly keep my eye on her or she's trying to climb something she's not supposed to. She's much more of a busy body than SG was. Even when the TV is on she likes to be moving around and playing. There are only brief moments when she'll stop to watch something, and it's usually Dora.

*One of the funniest things about her is that she is truly a little bull dog. I really think she might even be stronger than SG (and SG is a pretty strong child herself).
*Perhaps her favorite word right now is "NO." I think we're getting a little closer to 2 if you know what I mean!
