The Barnes Family: August 2011

Monday, August 15, 2011

As we approach Caroline's first birthday, we realize it has been one amazing year! She has developed day by day and oftentimes faster than we were ready for! She is very happy playing with her toys. One day last week when I picked her up at daycare, they were outside on the playground and many of the kids were sitting down listening to one of the ladies and Caroline was up playing with a toy by herself having the best time! She must take after her parents- I think she will be independent and confident!

She really is silly and is at a point where she loved to mimic us. She is pointing at things she wants to see and makes sure we know what she want to do! She has really taken to me brushing my hair and putting a headband on. She tries to brush her hair now and insists on taking the brush from me when I try...As you can see in the picture, she tries to put all thing on her head now, just like my headbands!

We learned early that she loves water! She really enjoyed going to the pool this summer and floating around! Sometimes she seems fearless which is a little scary..In the bathtub, she will try to put her head in the water, she loves to feel it running down her face! Looks like swimming lessons are in our near future!
