Dirty Dog Beats Everything!

Caroline is talking more and more every day. She really enjoys playing the "This or That" game. If Dirty Dog is included he always wins! This is a video from back in early November.

Cupcakes!

Caroline and her classmates had cupcakes for Halloween. She ate the icing and left the cake. She's pointing to the cupcake saying "dis!" We practiced making sugar cookies this weekend, but I couldn't keep her from eating the cookie dough! I've got my work cut out for me!!

This is a picture of Caroline and her new favorite person, baby Austin. He is the only baby under one this year in her school and she adores him! She grins when you mention his name.
Here is a link to her school's pictures. http://flickr.com/gp/29456218@N08/xFN038

Happy Halloween!

We had a great Halloween this past weekend. Caroline was in the annual Halloween parade with her classmates at school last Friday. Alex made sure that she was in costume and ready to go and he also walked with the kids during the parade. Amazing daddy! My students loved seeing Caroline and the other kids dressed up. Saturday, we had Chad, Gwen, Taelyn, Colin and Anna over for trick or treating and dinner. Caroline loved trick-or-treating and tried to go in a lot of the houses once the door was open. She didn't eat any candy, but I think she figured things out because she enjoyed chewing on the candy in the wrapper. She was not able to say "Trick-or-Treat" but she was able to say "Halloween!" One of Caroline's favorite things to talk about right now is the moon. She looks for the moon night and day. She looked for it while we were trick-or-treating. It was a wonderful night and I can't wait until next year. I think Halloween should be on a Saturday every year!

Summer Recap

I have fallen behind with the blog since school started back. Here are a few pictures and videos from August/September. This is a picture of Caroline and Kate Palumbo. It's nice to know that we will get to see Angela and the kids every summer.

This is a video of Nana and Caroline making cookie dough. These are her two favorite words now!

September Pictures from Caroline's School

Reading with Grandaddy

Alex's Dad aka "Grandaddy" came down for a visit a few weeks ago. We took a video of him reading Good Boy Fergus by David Shannon. It's one of Caroline's favorites and Robert happens to have a dog named Lily that looks just like Fergus!

Stickers and Popsicles

Two of Caroline's current favorites are stickers and popsicles. We had a popsicle everyday after nap time this summer...and we've continued to eat popsicles after school too! Notice in the pictures that Caroline is "wearing" her stickers as jewelry and she has also applied Magic Marker "makeup". She keeps us laughing every minute!
