my 8 month old sweetheart

Look who is getting so big! I put piggy tails in her hair for the first time the other day and she looked downright adorable, just as I suspected she would.

 
She is trying SO hard to crawl. She props herself up and rocks and then plops back down. She just hasn't quite figured it out yet. Soon though! She's getting close. 
 It can be so frustrating!

 She is just a happy and sweet little girl. That is all there is to it. She loves to empty out her toy box.
 Thomas may look like an angelic brother but he is totally just posing. They do love each other, yes. Now if only i could get him to be a little nicer/ more gentle with her. Less teasing? Well I know that that worked in our house growing up…it didn't!

 He was pretty happy to give her a ride in the wagon. Look at her cute little pudgy arms holding on for dear life.
 She loves playing with the sheets in the big bed, just like Thomas did when he was a baby. She also loves bouncing in her crib.
She gets pretty excited! It is so cute

 Isn't she a doll? The lady hardly makes a peep, well to complain that is. She has started to become quite talkative these days. She says mamamamamamam bababababababa etc. One day she kept saying mama mama and thomas got so excited and said, "She is saying Mama! Caroline is saying Mama!" :) He is going to be pretty excited when she can really start talking to us.
 She still loves sucking that little thumb. She looks so darn cute doing it though. She also loved the little nursery rhyme song, "Oh Dear What Can the Matter Be." She always calms down when we sing it. Even Thomas will sing it to her. It is so cute.


 She has recently figured out how to wave with her little hand. She doesn't quite do it socially yet, but she is pretty happy to just wave to herself :)
And of course she is still breathtakingly beautiful. Love this little lady.

seven month cutie

 See those teeth? she has 2! they sprouted shortly before her six month mark. She is sitting up and looking so big! I took this picture and realized she is growing up too fast! She is also rolling both directions and getting more and more vocal. She is such a joy. Isn't this little blue sweater darling? My grandmother knitted it for Caroline. It is so precious to me.
 still so sweet and serious
 but happy and so loving

Don't you just want to hug her?
with chubs galore! she weighs 18 lbs 14 oz and is in the 84% for weight. Extra cuddly! We love this lady! She weighs more than Thomas did at 12 months. They are pretty different these two! Its hard to believe at this age Thomas was crawling and standing up in his crib. Caroline is just a content little lady and that is A-Okay by me. Just keep letting me snuggle you lady!
