HAPPY ONE YEAR OLD BLOG!

WOW a year of BLOGGING!! As you can see by the archive of posts, I have slacked off a bit. When I first started BLOGGING, I couldn't get enough. Every night (well, not every night) but at least once a week or more I was BLOGGING about our sweet little girl. Don't get me wrong, we still have the SWEETEST GIRL IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD to blog about but something has changed...she's MOBILE and almost 2 years old...do I need to say anything else?!?

No, I won't blame my lack of BLOGGING on our little girl, BUT I will blame it on life happening and living in the moment! You see, I have so many posts just sitting in the Que waiting for me to complete them. Kind of like that commercial where the mom takes all of the kids pics with the digital camera, but never downloads them. They are all there...all the memories...waiting for all to see. They will be coming...I promise.

BUT, in the meantime, I realized that a year ago today I entered into the unknown world of BLOGGING! Who knows what I did with my time before BLOGGING and FACEBOOK! :~)
I have captured many memories for all of us to cherish. If you have a minute, take a look back at the original posts (the video of Caroline crawling and her FIRST trip to the Washington National ZOO). It's unbelievable how such a sweet little face could change over just one year. If I have to say so myself, she just keeps getting cuter and cuter, but I guess I am a little biased!

So, I have posted some pics of Caroline in August of 2008 and took some pics of her today so you all could see how much our little girl has grown in just one year!

From FIRST crawls to CLIMBING rails...oh no...what comes next!!

ENJOY!

Love,
Caroline's Mommy

AUGUST 2008...THEN...

I used to use the coffee table to help pull myself up...not anymore!

And this is how I use to get around...not anymore!

Here I come...now think about me NOW...a year later...whew!

This is what I liked to play with a year ago.

I have always liked to explore new things...climbing under not over here!

I use to like to put all of my toys in my mouth...that's how I played.

OOHH...I still make this face...some things never change!

NOW...AUGUST 2009...

Me with my new DISCOVERY TOYS MarbleWorks Castle...It's A LOT of FUN!

Oh, and look at my friends...Eeyore, Tigger, & Piglet. Our friend Pooh is missing from this shot!

WOW...

Caroline giving hugs.

AND another hug!

AND ANOTHER hug! She is actually singing Rock-a-by Baby to Piglet! So cute!

Look at me NOW...not pulling up on coffee tables anymore...I'm climbing on the backs of couches and scaling rails!

Look at this grin...I know I'm not suppose to be doing this, but Mommy is letting me because she is taking a picture. I usually get TIME OUT for this...but not now!!

The Mischievous face...you gotta love it!!
