Caroline 8 Months

Caroline turns 8 months old today! I can hardly believe that my little baby is so old! Caroline loves to cause trouble. She thinks its hilarious when you tell her no, (usually when she is trying to, or has successfully opened the controls to the gas fireplace...). She is very curious and has absolutely no fear. She loves being naked and crawling around her and Charlotte's room after a bath, hysterically laughing as Charlotte and I chase her. She speed crawls away, falls forward to the floor then sits up and cracks up before doing it again! This past month she has learned to wave and blow kisses (just a pucker) Grandma taught her, have to give credit where credit is due... and her favorite is to blow raspberries on any unsuspecting victim. She thinks its very funny, I do have to agree. She stands like a champ and lowers herself back down nicely. She has stood solo for a few seconds a few times, but I am hoping she holds off on walking for a bit! She will walk with the wagon or by pushing something across the floor. She doesn't have any teeth yet, but I can see the two bottom teeth about to cut through, making her a very drooly baby! She will put anything in her mouth and seems to have radar for the littlest bit of anything that is on the floor, she loves eating the leaves if we are outside, and she tears magazines and eats the paper if we are inside and she finds one! She loves bringing Charlotte to school and picking her up, and all the other kids think she is the greatest thing ever. Charlotte is very proud. She continues to dislike being constrained in her carseat, maybe she will realize that I won't let her crawl around the car while driving and stop screaming at me every time I buckle her in... doubtful but I can dream right? She is a lot of fun and we love her to pieces!

Pumpkins with Grammy and Papa!

A couple weekends ago we were talking to Grammy and Papa on the phone when they said they wanted to come for the day and visit! So they hopped in the car and came over to spend a couple hours with us. After they arrived and we had lunch we headed out to the pumpkin patch for some pumpkins and some fresh Cider Doughnuts! Charlotte loved picking out pumpkins and Caroline loved chewing on them!


We went to get some doughnuts and Charlotte and Papa watched them making them before we ate!

Caroline enjoyed her doughnut and got fully covered in it!


The girls had fun playing with the pumpkins with Grammy and Papa!
                                                  





Charlotte knows that Grammy loves being silly so she took full advantage!






Grammy tried to get Caroline to walk, she took a couple steps.


Then we headed out to the pumpkin patch to check out the scarecrows!


Papa thoroughly enjoyed himself!
 Then Charlotte and Papa took off to hide and scare us!

 Boo!
 We went back home and before Grammy and Papa left Charlotte wanted to play tag. She is a very fast runner.



Charlotte didn't want them to leave but she gave them a pumpkin she had made that morning to take with them!

 It was such a nice surprise that Grammy and Papa came to visit, a perk of living close!!

Leaves!

Last weekend Mimi came over for the day and Charlotte begged us to go out and rake leaves. It had been raining on and off throughout the week so it was still pretty wet, but it was a nice day so we agreed. She had a blast throwing leaves in the air and she jumped in once.... until she realized it was wet. Caroline enjoyed eating the leaves. It was a nice fall day!
