I know it's so cliche, but it is so bittersweet that we're so close to 1! Every stage seems to be my "favorite" and it is so fun to see Caroline learn new things constantly! I can't wait to see more of her personality come out . . .she really seems to have quite the sense of humor. At the same time, I can't help but be sad that my little baby will no longer be a baby before I know it!
New Stuff: Caroline finally cut her top middle teeth the other day. You can't see them in pictures yet, but I'm sure they'll be visible soon. Caroline is crawling everywhere FAST! She is able to climb the whole flight of stairs (we just need to teach her how to get down safely) and is pulling up to stand constantly. On the downside, we've had a few more bumps and bruises and even a bloody lip. So far she's proved pretty tough, and I think Mom has had a harder time with the spills than she has. Caroline is now clapping and trying to blow kisses. She loves to go up to her friends at daycare, the dogs and us and give hugs and kisses. Still a little cuttle bug. She continues to love food and has decided she is a big girl- pretty much all table food for her now. She can even feed herself with a fork/spoon (she is extremely motivated with anything dealing with eating!) Chris thinks she is saying "Nana" for "Mama" and I think I agree with him now. Her new thing is to call "Dada" and "Nana" over and over from her crib until someone gets her.
Starting to plan her 1st birthday . . . I just can't believe it!

4th of July at Lake Okoboji
We went for a long weekend to Chris's parents lake home at Lake Okoboji. It's an understatement to say it was a madhouse with 7 cousins under one roof, but we had fun! We were especially excited to see Chris's brother Johnnie's family (wife Holly and Keely-12, Kelsey-10 and Johnnie-6) from Arizona, we have missed them so much. Here are some pics from the weekend.
Not loving the lifejacket (but seemed to like the boat)
Sweet Cousins, Kelsey and Keely
Faking mean looks with Kelsey
A little "healthy competition" with cousin Maggie (23 months)
Merry-go-round at Arnold's Park
Train ride through the park
All the Walker cousins (and Aunt Courtney)
Speak no, see no, hear no . . .
HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!

Fully Crawling!
Okay, she was starting to crawl on my last few posts, but the last two weeks she has taken off and into EVERYTHING. She is crawling fast and furious and pulls to stand. She is just beginning to cruise on furniture, but is still nervous about that. Here are a few videos. Ignore the quality it's hard to keep the flip cam still!
