Twenty-one months old!

Dear Caroline,

You are twenty-one months old today!


You are our sweet baby girl, but also our wild woman.  You are all over the place and you follow Elizabeth EVERYWHERE!

You weigh about 28 pounds and I'm not sure how tall you are.  You wear a size 2T clothes, size 4/5/6 shoe (depending on the shoe) and a size 4 diaper.

You eat three regular meals a day and one or two snacks a day.  You take one long nap in the afternoon from 1pm-3:30/4pm.  You have gotten really good at drinking out of a juice box, and we are working on using a spoon.

This month you have been all of the country (literally).  You have been to the following states this past month: Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania.

We started this past month by going to Pittsburgh to meet your new cousin and visit family over Memorial Day weekend.  You also went to Aunt Barb's farm, saw a parade, rode on a carousel, and enjoyed a dessert party!

You have spent a lot of time with your friends Alice and Evie this month and I think you and Evie are planning your own little girl language.  :)

The weather has been mostly nice so we have spent A TON of time outside.  We have played at the water table, gone swimming, been to several playgrounds, and just played.  You and Elizabeth even spent an afternoon jumping in puddles on a rainy day. :)

We have spent a lot of time eating on the deck and I am enjoying not having the vacuum up after you are done eating. ;)  I wish we could eat outside year round.

In the middle of the month we drove to Atlanta to see your cousin, Annalise, get baptized.  We had a great time visiting with Uncle Andy and Aunt Lolly and all of Mommy's Georgia friends.

In the last week, you have gotten really into playing dress-up and we have been doing that A LOT.  I love your creative imagination at such a young age and am looking forward to seeing more of your dreams come to life.

Here is the link to Elizabeth at 21 months.

Below are some pictures of your adventures from the last month: 



































We love you so much!

Life Lately

Life lately has been full of summer camp, shopping, dressing up, Chick-Fil-A, and playing at the pool.  We are really getting into the swing of summer around here and just enjoying all the (mostly) nice weather that we have been having.

Snuggling with her Dad on Father's Day

Elizabeth started a week-long camp on Monday

She was a little excited!

I've had lots of one-on-one time with my baby this week :)

She loves to ride the truck at Toys R Us

This week, I've pulled out the castle they got from Santa on our rainy days

Little sister likes to play peek-a-boo with it :)


May I present Queen Elsa...

Tuesday morning, the little and I headed to Chick-Fil-A for breakfast
One of our local stores is giving away a breakfast item every Tuesday in June

She ate half her sausage biscuit, I was very impressed

While Caroline was napping on Tuesday, Elizabeth and I made chocolate chip muffins

This is a before picture, I have no idea why I don't have an after picture. Ha!

Back in the spring I ordered us some fun floats for the pool.
This is the one Elizabeth picked out.
We had a mommy-oldest daughter day at the pool on Wednesday afternoon

The kids around here didn't get out of school until today, so it was just us at the pool

Us and our giant duck :)

Taking a little rest/snack break

Love this picture! Just pure, simple happiness :)

This morning before camp, I had a cat and a queen our living room


Caroline was posing and Elizabeth stepped into the picture.
Already photo-bombing at four-years-old.

Oh hello.

 I let Caroline ride more rides today

 Don't tell Elizabeth :)

 We picked Elizabeth up from camp this afternoon and collected all of her art projects
This one is one of my favorites!

 And more dress-up all afternoon

Love these two cute girlies!

Happy Thursday y'all!
