Caroline Update: 17 months

Caroline is now 17 months old.  She is not a baby at all, she is a full -fledged, tantrum throwing, running, climbing, and jumping toddler.  We love havinger her around.  She is a lot of fun and is learning new things everyday.  She is super smart and so funny.  Eli did a funny, evil scientist laugh one time which she found hilarious.  Now when she laughs, it's an evil maniacal laugh.  Here are some updates about her.  

She now sits in a forward facing carseat.  I had the infant one in the living room for a couple days so I could wash it before putting it in storage.  Caroline thought it was her own little chair.  Anytime she would have a snack she would go and sit in that carseat.  Like her own little laz-z-baby recliner.

 

 

 

She is old enough now and plays by herself well enough for me to feel comfortable to take a shower while she's awake.  The other day I found this after I got out of the shower.

 

 

She also had a post-it stuck to her back.  I have no idea ho she did that.

 

 

She is so cute too.  I can finally pull all her hair back!  It's so cute.  Well, I can only pull it back in a ponytail if its all wet and I have to use some hair clips too.  But, I can also do pigtails now too, which are adorable.  My mom found this dress for her at a thrift store, I love it, it's so cute!

 

 

She is just so cute and kissable!
She can also talk a lot now.  Some of her new words are "animal, smoothie, yellow, duck, no (her personal favorite), mine, apple, book, pool, car, truck, train, bath, cookie, cracker, cheese, super banana, and temple."  She can climb up on the furniture now.  She can also jump, with her feet all the way off the floor.  She still loves to eat, but is getting pickier about what she'll eat.  She loves to swim, or do anything in the water.  She will run just about anywhere she can.  She is also liking to bring her babydoll with her everywhere we go.  She even tries to feed her and play with her.  She loves to play with her daddy and read books with us.  She is still very good at going to bed and sleeps about 12-14 hours a night.  She is getting more of a personality, and she is a firecracker.  Her favorite thing to say is, "no, no, no, no, no, no!" but she says it in such a cute voice.  She is just getting to be so much fun.  We love having her around!
