Opening presents...

So, Caroline turned ONE yesterday. I can't believe it's already been a year. Time has gone so fast. She is the sweetest little girl. She is always so happy and loves to dance, laugh, and smile. We are so thankful for the opportunity to be her parents. 

Things she currently loves: Mirrors, Jewelry (on other people), Dancing, Jack, Eating

Things she does not like: Naps and her carseat or any time of restraint (she's an active girl)

She's still not walking but she does cruise all over the place and crawls when she wants to get somewhere quickly. She's a climber and I am always finding her on the fireplace, train table, etc. She says 'hi' but that's really the only word I can understand at this point. We'll go to the doctor for her first year checkup next week so I'll have stats then.

My Family Loves to Dance

Caroline, along with the rest of my family, seems to enjoy dancing.

Mazatlan

Jack did a great job of making friends despite the language barrier. 

Excited about the aquarium.

Being silly by the pool.

We had a great trip to Mazatlan the first part of August. My parents were originally supposed to go with us; however, because of my dad's health they weren't able to go. My mom really wanted to keep Caroline while we traveled so we sent her to Missouri before we headed to Mexico. We had a lot of fun on the beach and in the pool and we were able to spend some quality time with my sister and her boyfriend, Barrett. When we got back, Caroline was officially spoiled so we had a few days of 'Grandma Detox' to get through. :)
