It was a busy day! I'm going to eat, then play for a while and turn in early. I will update the blog tomorrow with details of today's party!

This is me!
Sweet little Caroline was born on August 18, 2008 at 11:17 p.m. to her proud parents, Nina and Ryan. She is a very welcome addition to her family, who very eagerly awaited her arrival. This little girl has already brought her parents, grandparents and other relatives great joy -- they can hardly wait to see what the future holds!
My mommy told me I'm the cutest baby EVER
This is me!
It's all about ME
I'm Caroline, and this blog is dedicated solely to my mommy and daddy's favorite subject, ME. Check back often for pictures, updates and messages from me. I try to add entries daily.
Why I have a blog
First of all, it's 2008. Get with the times. It's all the rage in the NICU.
In large part, I have a blog because my mommy doesn't like to send mass e-mails to update people on how I'm doing. She says that, although she wants to know about every drool, poop and hiccup, there might be others who don't care as much. So instead, she asked me to set up this blog to update people on what I'm up to and what I'm thinking so they can check the blog if they want to see what I'm doing (or if they just need a Caroline fix) -- and if they don't want to, there's no pressure.
Plus, it's fun to keep a running log of things I'm doing. And since my mommy won't stop taking pictures of me, it's easy to include a shot or two every day so you can watch me grow just like my mommy and daddy do!
You didn't think that all babies did was eat, sleep and poop, did you?! We lead very rich lives, thankyouverymuch.

My words
- 1. Mum-mum (that means mommy!)
- 2. Da-da
- 3. Yeah
- 4. Aye (that means hi)
My cool tricks
- 1. Wave hello and goodbye
- 2. Clap for myself (and for you, when you do what I want you to do!)
- 3. Crawl, pull myself to standing and cruise around - then sit when I'm done
- 4. Dance! And I smile while I do it!
- 5. Waiting for mommy or daddy to take off my diaper, then making a mad dash for the other room - I'm quick!
Things I Love
- Losing one sock and making mommy and daddy try to find it. Hide and seek is very entertaining for me!
- Books! I love it when people read to me. Sometimes I tell part of the story, too.
- Getting a big burp out! Mommy and daddy encourage me to give them "fraternity-style" burps, and get very excited when they say I burped a college-worthy belch.
- Trying to stick my feet in my dirty diaper when mommy and daddy are trying to change me -- what a fun game!
- Having my picture taken (and it's a good thing too, because everyone in this whole darned family aspires to be a Japanese tourist with all this clicky-clicky action!)
- Smiling
- The bottle. And not the 12-steps variety.
- Pooping or peeing while my diaper is off! So fun! Second best: pooping or peeing right after I've been changed. I hope mommy and daddy have shares of Pampers in my 529 account!
- Cheering for USC Football (Fight on, Trojans!), and Nebraska Football, as well -- and I have the attire to prove it!!
- Playing in my rainforest-themed gym (I love beating up the toucan -- the rattle noise he makes is fun!)
- Sticking my little feet out from the bottom of my swaddle
- Clean diapers
- Snuggle time (I just love being held -- and my parents love to hold me)
- My parents
My To-Do List (I'm a very busy girl!)
- Eat
- Sleep
- Poop (more presents for mommy!)
- Play
- Update my blog
Check out my mommy's travel blog
On a trip to Peru in 2004, my parents bought an alpaca finger puppet from a kid. That finger puppet became a great source of amusement during their travels, and they and their travel group decided that they simply had to launch a travel website detailing past trips and call it "The Traveling Alpaca."
The travel blog has lots of detail for those planning their vacations, so check it out before you plan a trip to see if anything they did strikes your fancy! There are links to hotels, locations, activities and more.
