Go Terps!!!

We took Caroline to see the Terps beat up on Wake yesterday and had an absolute BLAST! She had so much fun clapping and cheering with the crowd and dancing when the band played. The day's BIG WIN made the day perfect - GO TERPS!

Fall Hike

In early October of each year, we head up to Thurmont, MD to enjoy the great outdoors. This is now Caroline's third year - although the first time we took her, we had just found out that we were pregnant, so that didn't really count! Last year, she was only 4.5 months old. Now she's 16 months and can REALLY enjoy everything: hiking, Aunt Karen's awesome camper, the playgrounds, the Cactoctin Mountain Orchards, etc. The weather was perfect and we had a fantastic day playing outside!

After we hiked and played at the playground, we headed over to the Catoctin Orchard to pick pumpkins and explore some more fall fun!

We almost lost her in the hay bale maze - her hair blended in a little too well!

12 Month Photoshoot

It's always so hard to choose just one shot! Here are 3 of the 20 or so that we selected!

Haircut

Caroline's mop finally got to me and we made an appointment to have it cut yesterday! I've been putting it off for too long (mostly because i didn't want her to look like a boy with a shorter cut!) Here is the before - pretty bad, huh?

We both donned capes, and then she sat very quietly and watched herself in the mirror:

And the after shots (which I forgot to take as we were leaving the salon so this is a few hours later.) MUCH better! Only slightly boyish, no?

Biker Babe

Another awesome hand-me-down from Aunt Karen - a bike seat! We have been having a blast riding now that the weather is a little more tolerable!

Dress up

Contrary to popular belief, Caroline DOES own several dresses, including this very pretty green one. (This post is for Linda G. (Jen's mom) who thinks that I dress Caroline like a boy all the time! But hey, it's hard to run around in a dress! :-P)

After a bath...

Its fun to be wrapped up in a towel with velcro rollers in your hair!
