Sweet Caroline: 14 months old!

Caroline is 14 months old! She is a walking, talking ball of energy! I have enjoyed spending so much time with her while I am off (I do not want to go back to work!). She is basically running, can climb up steps with assistance and wants to try to do everything herself! She loves to help me do laundry (which means either taking apart the piles I have made or unfolding the folded clean clothes). She has gotten where she tries to put on clothes herself and I looked over at her while I was sorting laundry and she had a pair of my underwear on with her head through a leg hole! I took those off and she proceeded to put on one of my tank tops withher head through the arm hole. She is so vocal and talks (a lot!) in her own language. Sometimes I think I hear real words, but it may be wishful thinking! She has recently start saying Ooooh when something happens or we tell her something. She is doing great at following directions, but she also has learned what time out is this month! She is so sweet and runs and hugs mike or my mom whenever they come over. She has definitely warmed up to everyone else in the family too. She starts off shy, but quickly wants to play. She loves to play peek-a-boo and to tickle other people! She is such a sweetheart-did I mention I do not want to go back to work?!

I took some pictures of Caroline at OSU and they turned out so well. There are so many good ones it was hard to pick out just a few to put up!
