Communicating More and More each day

I haven't blogged in a while about what she is doing at 11 months so I wanted to write some highlights. And this has sort of become a baby book. She now has 4 teeth on the top and 4 on the bottom!! She is working on but doesn't yet have her 12 month molars.
She is WALKING really fast now all over the house. I am most amazed though now with her ability to communicate which I first really noticed at about a month ago but lately it has seemed to blossom. She can on command by her Mommy--kick like a donkey, wave her arms like a monkey, turn her head "like a peguin", wiggle her hips, and clap "like a seal". We LOVE the Eric Carl books!!! If I say sit down she will squat down and my favorite, if I say brush your hair....she will "brush" her hair with her little pink brush!!!! It is HYSTERICAL!!! And really rather wild to think she is literally LISTENING to EVERYTHING! If I say do you wanna go outside....she heads for the door. She can say Mama, Dada, Baba, GayGay, Papa, CaCat, Ball. Today though she really plainly said GayGay Gay Gay when Mom called and I put her on speakerphone. It was FREAKY!! If the next year is anything like the first, we will have a full blown person on our hands by 2...with a full blown mind of her own! So much this is for Dave and Me. I love her more than words can describe and I enjoy watching her grow more than anything else on this earth!! What a wonderful precious angel from heave, my lil Caroline is! Thank you Lord for our gift!!

More Easter Fun!

Look at my French Hand Sewn Dress! Thanks Gay-Gay for all your hardwork. I will cherish this for many years to come!!!!

Proud Grandparents!!

He is Risen from the Dead and he is LORD!

I can't even believe I am saying this but this was Caroline's FIRST trip to church. Call it a lack of faith or an overprotective first time Mother, but I did not take Caroline to church all winter long. So, this was a HUGE day for my precious angel from heaven!!!! Now she sat through the singing and that was about it. We took turns standing in the vestabule with her. But she LOVED the singing. We went to the traditional service and it was just wonderful....lots of old hymns and praising going on!! The service was wonderful and I left feeling peace which is what Jesus is all about!!!! What a WONDERFUL day!!

Egg Hunting 101!

This is the Day that the Lord hath made we should rejoice and be glad in it!! He is ALIVE!! What a beautiful weekend it was to celebrate the risen Lord!! We went to Cherokee for the Easter Egg Hunt and much fun was had by all!!! The Grandparents and Cara especially had FUN!!! And Caroline actually picked up the eggs and put them in the basket...thanks Granna for teaching me how to do that!!!!

Oh and by the way I learned something knew this Easter....when did they start hiding fake eggs?! Apparently, this is how it is every where and even Mom said we hunted fake ones at school and at public easter egg hunts when I was little. Though I always remember hiding and hunting REAL eggs....I would work so hard to make sure the eggs were pefect in color. That the colors didnt run together and that the color was spread equally throughout the egg...Pastels.....I was so proud to present my very pretty eggs at the Taylor Easter Egg hunt and at hunts we had at my house. Why do rules and heath regualtions have to break up the fun stuff?! LOL!
