Caro

She is still such a sweetheart. She's coming up on ten months, can you believe it?! And don't worry, I'm already planning her first birthday party. What?! Two months isn't that much time.

Here is the latest on Carolina: she still says "Dada" and that's it. Moms get the short end of the stick when it comes to names - "dada" is easier to say than "mama." We're doing baby sign language with her, as we did with Maggie and Finn, and she signs "all done" and "more", but "all done" is more consistent. Speaking of "more," the girl has a great appetite. She will eat anything. Seriously, I haven't given her any food, ever, that she wouldn't eat. I love it. I mean, I haven't given her anything too crazy but she will eat unsweetened yogurt, sharp cheese, garlicky pesto, broccoli, and of course more baby-friendly foods like any fruit, oatmeal, etc. There's a reason she was 85 % for height and weight at her 9 month appointment! And I love this - she can wear many 6-12 and 9 month shirts and dresses but things that snap between her legs she is outgrowing thigh first! They fit her length-wise and around her body but they leave red marks on her thighs. I LOVE IT. I just want to take a bite out of her thighs.
Here's an outtake of the photo above where you can tell she is grinning and squealing.

love it, she is too cute! Wren is in the 95th for height! AND, our ped told us that at 2 years old a kid is generally half the height they will be as an adult! I've never heard that. Jude is 3 feet so it looks like he may have bypassed the Pounds' short gene for the Conley's tall(er) gene :)

She is looking older than 10 months in that pix to me... So cute and is probably the easiest "little do anything with no fuss I have seen... Love that little thigh grower! ;)
