Ocean City Pictures - Part I

Caroline, Mommy, and Daddy spent a few days in Ocean City, MD with Gigi, Aunt Melissa, Aunt Tanya, Aunt Lori, Aunt Jenna, and their friends (Caroline's "Peeps"). The weather wasn't very "beachy", but we still had a great time.

A little unsure at first

Don't do it Daddy!

Starting to warm-up a little

Checking out a sand crab

Not so sure that she wants to leave the ocean - maybe it wasn't so bad after all

Take me back Daddy!!

Just Too Sweet

New Pool!

Caroline got a new baby pool and last week we had a lot of fun trying it out.

Big Girl Bed

This past Wednesday Caroline learned how to climb (or more like fall) out of her crib. We couldn't risk it happening again so Caroline had to make the switch to her "Big Girl Bed". We weren't sure how she would do, but we are thrilled to say that she has done GREAT!! She loves her new bed and has been such a good girl. Even though she knows how to get out of the bed, she won't get out if we aren't in the room. We are so proud of her!

Dutch Wonderland

On Sunday we went to Dutch Wonderland with a bunch of our friends. We had SO much fun!!

Caroline and the Balloon

Yesterday morning Caroline and Mommy met our friends Jess and Gracie downtown. We checked out a cool photo gallery (where Caroline got her balloon) and then got some incredibly yummy ice cream! After a big morning, Caroline and Mommy headed over to Mimi and Poppop's house. After playing for a while, we were headed out but Caroline had to stop and play in a puddle on the way out.

Happily playing in the puddle with her balloon. I didn't think she would ever let it go...

....but she did!
I thought for sure that there would be tears...

...but instead she was having so much fun looking for her balloon in the sky.

And this is what she would do when she couldn't see it anymore.

When we got home, Daddy asked Caroline where her balloon was. Being the smart little girl that she is, she went over to the window and pointed to the sky. :)

Flower Child

You combine two of Caroline's favorite things - flowers and being outside - and you get one happy little girl. How sweet is she? :)

Smelling some flowers - "mmmmm"

Such a sweet smile

"Look Mommy, I got you a flower!"

Love her!
