Tea-party

Last week after our Tumble Tykes class we met Nana for story-time. There is a little toy shop with a tea parlor in the back within walking distant from story-time. Nana took us there for a special tea-party lunch. Caroline was on her best behavior (I think she new it was a special lunch). She sat and ate like a big girl.

Horse-back Riding

Last weekend we went to my cousin Colleen's house for a BBQ. Colleen has several horses, a donkey, dogs, exotic birds, a cat and bunny and a chicken (Yes, just one. The others were eaten by a coyote). It's a pretty cool place. Colleen let Caroline sit on one of her horses. I think she liked it but was a little scared.

15 month doctor visit

Yesterday Caroline had her 15 month visit. She got a A+ (I wonder if they give kids Bs or Cs). She is right on track. Last post I mentioned her doctor kit and my plan to get her use to the equipment used to examine her. My plan worked! Dr. Weiser was so sweet and took a few minutes to let Caroline play doctor on her with her toy tools. Then it was doctor Weiser's turn to "play doctor". Caroline went right along with the game with no tears. That was the first time she hasn't cried when her ears and mouth were being examined. When Dr. Weiser told her to open her mouth and say "ahhhh" she did it just like we practiced. This was the smoothest trip to the doctor we've had. She also got 3 shots which she did not like. She kept giving the nurse the stink eye after the shot. Later that evening she would see the bandages from the shots, point to them and whine. It was very heart-breaking to watch.

Below are her stats and a pictures.

Weight: 21lbs 7 oz 25%

Height: 31.5 in 90%

Head: 18.1 in. 50%

Doctor Caroline

I got Caroline a doctor set today. I'm hoping if we let her play with the doctor equipment on us and the dogs she'll be more calm when she goes in for her 15 month check-up in a couple weeks. I'll let you know how that turns out ;-).

Papa turns 65!

Tonight was Papa's 65th birthday. We celebrated by having Nana and Papa over for pizza and cake. Caroline's job for the evening was to bring Papa his cards. She was on broad to BRING him the cards she just didn't want to actually hand them over.
