Carolina JuneBug

 

This stage with her has been so hard but so entertaining and sweet! She’s becoming independent and likes to do things herself as far as feeding herself most of the time. She gives the sweetest random hugs and kisses. She knows what she wants and oh have mercy if you can’t figure it out quick enough or forbid you pick the wrong thing! Her words are here and there. We definitely hear her say things but nothing you can get her to repeat when you ask her to. She calls for the dogs when Dane takes her to feed them at night she yells “DOOOOOOO” (duke) she tried saying paisley. She said “yay” when we were building blocks one night. And one night she was scaring us running back and forth on the bed and me and Dane both just ran on water to try and catch her and we were telling her to stop but we were laughing so hard we couldn’t breathe and Carolina yelled “stop!” She says mama and daddy more regularly. She still gets very bashful at times. And puts her head down or covers her eyes. She even does it to me and Dane sometimes. She has a little temper! She is so smart it is amazing to sit and watch her play. When she’s building blocks she looks for all the legos that are “2” and “4” and “1” and puts those together! She doesn’t like to build if they aren’t a match. Color doesn’t matter but if they are the same size matters apparently lol and she rips some pages out of her peekaboo books sometimes trying to lift the flap and i just save them and glue them back on but it amazes me that when she gets to that page she looks around the room for the one that goes there and will go grab it! She’s getting big so fast and I am not ready or even sure how my heart will grow to love a new baby but I think she is going to be a funny and ornery big sister! I’m excited and scared to watch.
