Caroline's 14 month post brings LOTS of new things. All the way from new teeth to new words to blowing kisses, which I think is the sweetest thing in the world. As far as growth, I think we are pretty much the same... maybe around 21 lbs, if that. Her 15 month checkup isn't until January 2nd so we will update all of that then. Still in size 3 diapers, 12 month clothing with a few 18 month in there. 18 months are definitely baggy but perfect in length. We might have a super model on our hands with the length and skinniness. :) I feed her, I promise. That child can eat like no other. We still haven't hit a day where she turns her head or shakes "no". I just have to assume that she has GOT to be full.
Words she is saying include: Ma, Dadeeeee (Daddy), Kenty (Kenzie), Boog (which is our nickname for Mia), Tan (Tanner), Tay (ok). She understands that the fireplace, oven, and my coffee mugs are usually hot. She will put her palm up in the air and say "hotttssss" like she's trying to feel the heat.
Caroline is such a big help around the house when it comes to unloading the dishwasher, folding laundry, and picking up her toys. (A little sarcasm there) We sing a little song when it's time to pick up our toys before bath time and she starts bringing them to me to put in her toy box. Same thing goes for the toys in the bathtub as well, but she can usually get them all back in her frog pod herself. She may have inherited a little of my OCD when it comes to being neat and tidy. She lines all her bath time blocks up on the side of the tub and places all her shampoo and baby wash bottles back in their place. Too funny. She really doesn't like them floating around. She has gotten rather good at maneuvering our iPhones. We've had to put pass codes on them and she's even got to the point of trying to put the pass code in, even though theres no way she could get it right. She loves to play fruit ninja and ant smasher.
She is really getting to the stage where she makes us laugh until we cry. She loves to come up to me and pat me on the shoulder then cuddle me. Melts my heart, she really is the sweetest thing. However; in the last month we've come to realize that Caroline doesn't care for any man other than Daddy. And when I say she doesn't care for any man, I mean she gives them the ugliest face imaginable and stays as far away as possible. It takes her a good while to warm up to Papa Tom, PePaw, Uncle Aaron and Uncle Lynn. Uncle Aaron won her over the other night when he let her play with his iPad. Uncle Lynn tried to win her over with a snickers but that didn't work. I've got several videos and lots of pictures that need to be uploaded, and more blogging to do, so that is on my to do list. Stay tuned for many pictures to come!

30 Days Of Thanks!
19. I am thankful for Bubble Guppies. By far the cutest show out there for kids. Caroline adores it and I find myself enjoying it as well.
20. I am thankful for every single month of the year. There may be months I like less than others due to those being busy times for my husband, but I am so thankful to be able to see each and every month and spend them with my beautiful baby girl and family.
I'm very behind on my "thankful list." My mom was in town for awhile and then our router for our internet went bad so I had to replace that. Finally we are back up and running which brings me to #8 and #9.
8. My mom. I am so lucky to have such a wonderful, caring and talented I might add, mother. We had such a good time this past weekend and had a blast at the nutcracker market.
9. Internet. You totally take it for granted until all you have is your iPhone.
10. A warm home, bed, clothes and food on the table.
11. Our soldiers who put their life on the line in order for us to live safe and free.
12. Camera's. I able to capture every sweet moment of my little C.
13. The warmth of the Holiday season that is upon us.
14. A loving and extremely strong marriage. We've had hard times but I know we can make it through anything.
15. Nap time. I love spending every minute I can with Caroline, but I cherish that 2 1/2 hours I get to myself.
16. My education.
17. Sweet little Logan that I get to watch everyday for 5 hours.
18. My Dad. Seriously one of the hardest working men I have ever known. He always made sure we were very well taken care of. We had a scare with him about 3 1/2 years ago and it really opened my eyes to never take anyone for granted. It opened his eyes too and he takes such wonderful care of himself now. I'm proud of him.
*Updated* November 4th-7th
4. My amazing family. I was blessed with best family anyone could ask for.
5. I am thankful that I have Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. We may not go to church every single Sunday but that certainly does not mean I pray less than anyone who goes every Sunday. When things are out of my control I take a deep breath and hand it over to Jesus and have faith that everything will be taken care of the way it's suppose to be.
6. Our sweet friends who would be there at the drop of a hat to help us with anything.
7. My health.
I figured I would start my 30 days of thanks on the blog. Every few days I will add to this post on what I'm most thankful for in my life! And it's a lot! Sometimes I almost get the "going good blues". I feel everything is so great and going so smoothly, something has got to go wrong eventually. I'm not sure why I feel this way, but I have to remember to turn things over to God, that I am not in control of everything.
November 1st-3rd:
1. My husband Scott. He blows my mind with his hard work and dedication to take care of his family and allow me to stay home and take care of Caroline. He amazes me sometimes with the kind of days he pulls. I could go on and on about him but y'all get the gist.
2. Sweet Caroline. I am so thankful to have a healthy baby girl. I thank God everyday for picking us to be her parents. She warms my heart each and every day.
3. I think I may have did this one last year, but it hasn't changed. Our furbabies!! Tanner and Mia are like any other member of our family. We love them so much and they make us laugh a lot!!
Stay tuned for more! :) I hope everyone has a blessed day.

Happy Halloween!!!
This was Caroline's second Halloween but first time to dress up in a costume. She was only 6 weeks old last year! I have to say, she was the cutest little Tinkerbell I've ever seen! She got the hang of the trick or treating for about 10 seconds then became more interested in chasing all the other kids and running up and down the sidewalk. She had her first package of candy which was smartees. Talk about a sugar high. It was like she couldn't even function. I thought for sure she would crash easy, boy was I wrong. I couldn't get that get that kid to wind down for the life of me!! We had a great time though. Clint and Jennifer Wren came over with their kiddos to hit up the houses in our neighborhood. We took lots of pictures, collected lots of candy, handed out a bunch of candy and had a blast!!

13 Months!!!
Sorry guys, I'm a little behind on Caroline's 13 month update! Things have been a little crazy and I was falling behind on my blogging all together. Anyway, the girl is a busy little bee!! At 13 months we are...
-Size 12-18 month clothes
-Size 3 diapers
-8 teeth- 4 on top and 4 on bottom
-Walking and running EVERYWHERE! Including away from Mom and Dad.
-Eats anything and everything!
-Loves her milk and we've started giving her her last cup of milk before bath time that way she gets her bath, brushes her teeth and goes to bed like a big girl!! (I still rock and pat her to sleep, I don't care what anyone or any pediatrician says, there is nothing wrong with that and I will cherish every moment I get to do that) :)
Talking up a storm! She says cheeeeeese before a picture, mama, dada, boog (which is Mia), da (dog), ok, yeah, yo (which I'm pretty sure is Logan and she's trying to say Lo) and a bunch of other stuff I haven't figured out yet.
Her favorite thing to do right now is go outside and look for birds. Most of her pictures outside consist of her pointing at the sky. Ever since the bird show at the fair she's been obsessed!!
She is starting to hide from me when she goes number 2. I never scold her when she does it, but I also don't make it a positive thing either. I'm hoping she will be an easy baby to potty train when the time comes! :)
Caroline has got to be the sweetest, kindest, most sharing baby I've ever known. She is so sweet and loving to Logan and takes all of her toys to her and plays so gently with her. I have a feeling she will be the best big sister in the world and a big help I'm hoping!! When the time comes! We've gotten a lot of questions about our "next one" lately. We are enjoying just her and giving her our full, undivided attention for awhile longer.
Mommy and Daddy love you Caroline and we are so thrilled you are a huge part of this family!!
