This is one of my favorite times of the year. The leaves are starting to change, the weather is cool and Pumpkin pie is a prevalent commodity! Hope everyone is enjoying their Fall, thus far. Cara certainly is. She's a big kid now, a whole 1 year old, so of course, she's got new tricks up her sleeves.
1. She will give high fives, but she prefers to play "down low, too SLOW". This is where Cara reaches her hand out (usually to strangers) and they continue to give her a low five, but she pulls her hand back with an added belly laugh, causing the person to be "too slow". Not sure who taught her this, ;) .
2. She's ruined two of our three remote controls in the house with her excessive drooling, giving us the impression more teeth are coming in. Wonderful!
3. She is learning that shoes are a necessity, but unfortunately her knuckles are paying the price.
4. She only enjoys big dogs that are lazy and completely unaware of her existence, i.e. Madison. This gives her the upper hand in the relationship.
5. She's completely off of bottles and baby formula!
6. She waves backwards.
7. She can shake her head yes and no, but doesn't understand the word "no" being called to her as she opens cabinets and drawers.
8. She likes to say "Dada" to which her Dada responds "Baby". This can go on for five minutes.
9. She still makes noises that resemble demons.
10. She is obsessed with running around in the front yard. She even waits at the front door (kind of like a dog) to be let out.
Enjoy the slideshow of Cara's birthday weekend! I will be posting her Halloween costume pictures, she's gonna be so ADORABLE!

in one more day, it's cara's birthday!
Hello everyone. Sorry for the lapse of updates, I was busy getting married! One of the most amazing days of my life. My face literally hurt from smiling. I was just so happy for us, and our family, and for the support from our friends and family..it was just a magical day. Poor Care bear. The day wore her out and she zonked out for the ceremony. But do you think that stopped my kid from being apart of the party? Heck no!
Many more pictures to come on that front, I'm still waiting on the photographer's photos. She was so precious in her little peach dress.
On to more important things...
It was a year ago today I was steralizing bottles through breaks from contractions, trying to take deep breaths, and pretty much panicking because I was headed for the hospital to be induced. I literally had no clue what I was in store for. But October 11th, 2007 at 5:24 pm little Cara Nicole graced us all with her presence and changed our lives forever. And tomorrow we celebrate her first year of existance. I'm so excited. Growing up when it was our birthday's, my Mom used to sing this song. It goes like this:
"In one more day, it's Cara's Birthday,
In one more day, it's Cara's Birthday,
And on that day she will be ONE,
We're gonna have so much fun,
In one more day, it's Cara's Birthday!"
She would start it like 10 days before and change the lines depending on our age. Well, I love that song and I've been singing it to Cara all week and based on her head bobbing, I think she loves it too. We're celebrating the day on Sunday with family and friends and tomorrow I think I'm gonna take her to do some Halloween things with her Momma and Mimi. I think I'm celebrating more for myself that I made it through the first year with a new baby, lol! That year makes me want to take a nap!
Well Happy Birthday baby! Mommy loves you so much!!
