The Big ONE!

We had a small party to celebrate Caroline's first birthday.  My parents and sister were also able to come to DC to help us celebrate.  While it was only about 15 adults and 6 kids that's a lot for our little house.  It was quite hectic and a little overwhelming for Caroline, but I think that most people had a good time and we enjoyed celebrating with family and friends.  We missed Grandpa, Meme and Uncle Brad!

Caroline got lots of wonderful gifts from her grandparents, friends, daycare and "aunties" including her first real doll, shoes, cute outfits, zany zoo, helicopter toy, block shape sorter, stacker toy, piggy bank and dollhouse. 

At the doctor's appoitment, she weighed in a t 17 lbs, 12 oz and 27.5 in (10% for both so moving up on that growth curve).  Besides her party - the social event of the season - other notables from the past month include:

- Crawling correctly and getting quicker
- Cruising everywhere and pretty fast - cruises along walls, couches, the fireplace, cabinets, appliances, tables...everywhere...
- Started on Cow's milk and transitioned pretty well

Here are some pictures from her birthday party:
