10 Months!

Wow, I really feel like the month of January flew by. I can't believe we're 2 months away from Caroline's first birthday. We've already started planning for it.

Let's see, what's new with Miss Caroline? It's hard to remember what I've written on here and what I haven't. Maybe I'll just do some bullet points of what's she's up to these days:

• She's pulling up and cruising like a champ
• She won't use her push toy but she'll push other toys across the room
• She's still sleeping with us at night and I really don't see an end to it anytime soon..this is based on total laziness on our parts because she sleeps all night when she's in bed with us (most nights) and I know she is not going to like being alone
• She's becoming picky about what she will eat now..she's not a big fan of meat anymore but we're still offering it
• She plays with a sippy cup but hasn't figured out how to tilt it..she just chews on it. We've tried a straw cup and she just chews on that too..we need to work on this more because her pedi wants her off of bottles at 12 months (we'll see how that goes)
• Apparently she's starting to become possessive of the toys she's playing with at daycare and doesn't want the other babies to have them..she's the oldest in the room now so apparently she thinks she can be bossy
• She all of a sudden hates having her hair and teeth brushed, though we torture her with it anyway
• She seems to understand things that we say to her now..she shakes her head no
• She has a great sense of humor
• She's starting to be more assertive about what she does/doesn't want to do
• Her 12 month clothes are getting a little tight/short. We may have about a month left in them. Luckily we stocked up on 18 month stuff recently
• She's still in size 3 diapers
• She's still eating 5 6oz bottles every day, 3 meals of solids, and some snacks

Here are some pictures from her photo shoot. She though the sticker was pretty tasty.
