Not sure what Eric and I are doing here...or why neither of us is looking at the camera!

Mama and Sweet Caroline at her 9 month check up today. She weighs 16 pounds and 5 ounces and is 28 inches long! She is still in the 25th percentile for weight and the 75th for length.

Somebody loves being naked!

Caden loves Caroline and wants to hold her all the time!


Image
John Collier loves her too!

I want that camera, Mama! :)

Sweet Caroline at 9 months old:
*You will clap when someone says, "Yay!"
*You are still on the same eating schedule as at 8 months.
*You will start getting 8 ounces in your 2 bottles each day beginning tomorrow. We just want to make sure you are getting enough milk since that is your main source of nutrition!
*You will definitely let us know when you don't like something or want something RIGHT NOW. Your latest thing is pitching a fit when Daddy won't let you have the remote! (Get used to it, sister!) You do this because PawPaw lets you play with one during the day at MeMaw's house!
*You are fascinated with my cell phone, your timer, the tv remote, basically anything REAL. You do like your toys, but you'd rather have the things you aren't supposed to!
*You LOVE your puffs and yogurt melts. Thank you, Gerber! You got some for Valentine's Day from us and Memaw and Papaw.
* You have been doing this huge "cheese" grin (see naked pic above)...it is hilarious! Nan says you smile so big your ears touch in the back. :)
*You have started patting my shoulder when I get you up in the mornings...so sweet! I guess it's because I pat your back when you are snuggling with me when I first get you out of your crib. I hope you will always like to snuggle with me!
* You are our sweet baby girl...and always will be. 
I love you~Mama
