At the Beach




















We had a great long weekend in Rockport and Caroline has proven to be quite the beach girl. Here are a few highlights from the trip. Here was her favorite spot at the house....the shell beach along the water. She spent most the weekend pointing to go outside to dig for shells and watch the waves and loved walking up and down the sidewalk to the water.














Her favorite beach food....noodles! We think she liked the audience that cheered her on while she ate her noodles just as much.

















Whee! She loves holding your hands while she walks...especially when she gets to fly along the way.

















Always a little inquisitive about the beach when we would arrive. After a few minutes of taking in the sights, she loved pointing at seagulls, digging in the sand and walking in the water.

CC Walking

Here is a little sample of the things we enjoy. Arf is what a doggy says, you can see our crawling has gotten faster, there is a short sample of what we call the "knee walk", followed by a sample of our Frankenstein walk, with a interpretive dance to wrap it all up.

Almost 11 Months



















Caroline is a very busy girl these days. Her favorite activities include taking every book off of her bookshelves, flipping through each one and tossing them on the floor, dumping the dog's water bowl over and splashing in the puddles she created, watching Sesame Street and squealing with joy over the intro song and any scene with Elmo, practicing walking, babbling up a storm with sounds ranging from whispers to full out shrieks, "kissy kissy" on the lips, "biting" with her new top teeth (yikes!), feeding herself...especially blueberries, strawberries, kiwi, peaches and "na nas," pushing things all over the house (bar stools, toys, etc.), clapping and climbing in and out of your lap. It's been such a fun month for us as we've watched her discover new things around the house, take her first steps and practice new sounds.
