One year old!

I still think she is my baby.  But she isn't...she is a big toddler with opinions and desires all her own.  We LOVE her.  Happy first birthday Caroline!

And now...a timeline.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAROLINE!!

A Party!

This weekend we hosted our friends and family to celebrate Caroline's upcoming birthday!  Leah, Sophie, Kris and Matt flew in as did Nana and Papi.  We were so thankful that so many people showed up to the party.  Our little home was packed to the gills with people!

C got some good loot but she really loved the big pink balloons.  Screeched with delight.  I made her a yummy butter cake with berry buttercream icing.  It was yum.  I only hope there is some left so she can have another piece tomorrow.

Thank you to everyone who made Caroline's celebration so memorable.

We had an eventful week.  Caroline had a virus and cut her first molar late last weekend, so I was home with her Monday and Tuesday to monitor her fever.  The virus made its way out the door but not before causing C to break out into a full body rash.  Then on Thursday evening Caroline had a small accident and chipped a tooth on the bath tub.

But she is all better now!  And this weekend we ate bagels at home on Saturday, and celebrated Amanda's birthday with brunch and play time today. We'll start with the birthday!  Olivia and Rhys were of course in attendance.  This shot kills me.  She wasn't even posing. Love...

C just loves her cousins.  And she loves things she can push around.

She took a rest on the lawn before heading in for cake with Nana Lu and John.

After a nap, we had some outdoor time this afternoon and sported the fancy pants from Auntina.

BTW, Caroline eats bagels the way she eats any food that consists of something on bread.  She just eats the something. Then maybe at the end she'll go back for the bread (bagel, waffle, etc).

Hoping for an uneventful week before the big birthday festivities this weekend!
