So Much to Say

Caroline has a lot of important things to say - she can carry-on for quite some time.  She was on the couch with me and had been telling me some very important stories for about 10 - 15 minutes when I took this picture and the videos below.  If you're not a grandparent or other relative, you'll probably only want to watch the shorter version.  She get s a little introspective with a study of her hands in the second one - it's thrilling cinema - again, really just grandparent appropriate ;).

Blowing Bubbles

So, this is probably not the most flattering post, but just wanted to show some of the new skills that we're teaching her ;).  The picture is from about 3 months when she started blowing bubbles - more like drooling with bubbles.  There is also a link to a video to show how much she's progressed in her bubble blowing skills.
 

Sorry that it's a link, I couldn't get the video to upload directly to the blog (also sorry for the shakiness of the video - she was on my lap and kicking her legs hitting the camera):
