Carolina Grace turns 11 months old!

Over the weekend Carolina Grace turned 11 months old and we can hardly believe in just 1 month we will be celebrating her 1st Birthday! Carolina Grace insisted that we go to her favorite place to eat, PAPPASITO'S (Tex-Mex)to celebrate her 11 months. Can you believe she already has her list of FAVORITE restaurants...funny how her list coincides with her Mama's and Daddy's list too.

Milestones and what Carolina Grace is up to:
1) Took her first step on May 15!
2) Stands in one place for about 30 seconds and then plops down.
3) Loves to look at books and enjoys hearing us read to her
4) Enjoys the pool
5) Loves her Sister's Pink Moped and climbs up on it and does the 1 leg stunt (pics to follow)
6) Likes to play with the toy telephone that makes lots of noise
7) Still gets a kick out of Talking Elmo
8)Starting to go through some separation anxiety when we drop her off in the church nursery, but in about 5 minutes she calms down
9) Carolina Grace is an observer, but wants to be part of it all once she assesses the situation
10) Waves bye-bye constantly and has learned to blow kisses within the last week
11) She has also learned how to kiss us and when she does she says, "Mmmm..."
12) Her words: Da-Da, Ma-Ma, Daw (Dog) Ba-Ba (Bottle)
13) Sleeps 12 hours a night with Creme Puff, her bear that Gran gave her
14) She eats everything we do except milk and her favorite foods are rice, green beans, carrots, chicken, tuna fish, and bananas
15) Learning to drink water from a sippy cup


Carolina Grace is such a joyful little girl with such a sweet personality, and we are so incredibly blessed that the Lord has entrusted her to us as our daughter.

Carolina Grace enjoys Tex-Mex as much as we do minus the SALSA (a bit too spicy for her right now so she hasn't tried that)
