I like to be comfortable when I eat

Sometimes that means throwing my leg over the arm of the chair and resting my arm on daddy's arm.

Please keep your arms and legs inside the crib

Woops! Feet fell out!

You've heard of bum(!) warmers in your car...

I've extended that idea to the glider. Now pick me up and put me on your lap.

Daddy shared some burrito with me!

Mommy and daddy seem to really like Mexican food. They're big fans of burritos. I decided to sample some myself. Not bad! I nibbled on a burrito, then needed some water to relieve my mouth... SPICY!

I dreamt I was a lion!

I was born in mid-August, so I'm a Leo. I took being a Leo to heart yesterday -- in my sleep, I roared like a lion ("RAWR"), smiled, then rolled over and slept very comfortably on my other side. Mommy and daddy just looked at each other, not quite sure what to make of my sudden roar. I like to keep them on their toes!

Excuse me, Monchichi

Once you graduate from medical school, you can't continue to suck on a pacifier. Look at me: I got over pacifiers at 4 weeks old.

Mommy and daddy need a hobby

OTHER than photographing me. They even take pictures of me in my sleep! Sheesh.

Daddy has me confused with a mink stole

He's trying to wear me to keep his neck warm! I'm not sure how I feel about that...

I like to give Grandpa equal time

Otherwise he gets upset that Grandma hogs the baby. :)

Grandma and I went for a walk, and we picked a pretty flower

I LOVED splashing in the pool!

Especially when I splashed water into daddy's face! Mommy laughed and laughed - she could hardly hold the camera still!

Hey Sports Illustrated swimsuit models, eat your heart out!

You can't compete with me in my itsy bitsy, teeny-weenie, yellow polka dot bikini! Thaaaat I wore for the first time today... :)

Pillow fort fun!!

I built a pillow fort on mommy and daddy's bed. I had soooo much fun rolling all over and throwing myself about! Woohoo!!

It's Caroline's naptime!

Daddy uses the remote control to turn the TV off. What button do I press to turn myself off for naptime?

Ears or handles?

You vote.

Darn right, I'm a gourmet baby

My bib doesn't lie. I get special pluots that mommy can only find at the Farmer's Market in Century City. They're called cotton candy pluots, and they're delightfully sweet. I get a new batch every week!

When I can't make it to the pool, I make my own

I've learned how to use the faucets in the bathroom. I can turn the water on and off at whim. I also learned how to pull the stopper up to make a little pool for myself. Now I can splash in the water to my heart's content on demand! No need to wait for anyone else to figure out that's what I'm asking for. Hooray! I'm so self-reliant.

The best part is that I don't have to wait 30 minutes after eating to use this pool!! I take my snack with me and enjoy while kicking some water around!

As it turns out, I like dried pineapple!

Look at me enjoy!

Mommy caught daddy feeding me chocolate

But in his defense, it was 72% dark from Maison du Chocolat! That couldn't possibly be bad for you.

I played in the water so much that my feet got wrinkly!

Not the best picture, but you get the idea.

I like to sit on the counter in mommy's bathroom and kick my feet in soapy water in the sink. Mommy adds soap for me, and I have an instant spa pedicure! Minus the toenail polish, that is. Mommy gives me a foot massage afterward. And, unlike at Burke Williams, she doesn't charge me for the service! What a good little servant she is.

Another gratuitous picture of me and Scott

Cuz you know, why not?!

Here, let me adjust that for you

After a year of being photographed like crazy, I have a few tips to share with you to make sure you get better results. You're welcome.

My new book!

I can tell you ALL ABOUT things that are yummy and things that are yucky! Daddy chimes in, too! He says now that I've started eating a little "real" food, my poopies are YUCKY! Mommy said he's crazy - she said even my poopies smell like rose petals. I think mommy needs to see an ENT specialist. There's clearly something wrong with her nose.

Mommy is still laughing at these pictures

Mommy's co-workers got me a birthday present from what I'm told is a pretty terrific store. Mommy gave me the present to open myself. First, I inspected the bag - almost as if to indicate to mommy that I know where she gets things, and I expect her to show up with bags like this more often. Then I turned my attention to the card. Finally, I unwrapped a beautiful silver spoon! How thoughtful. Thanks, girls! I promptly got out my monogrammed stationery to write a thank you card. Emily Post would be so proud.

Mommy thought the series of pictures was hilarious. She said she can't wait until I'm a teenager so I can more fully appreciate how funny this all is. Daddy is NOT laughing. I think he just hears cash registers going bonkers in his head. Oh well!

I came to Florida, I saw an alligator, I conquered

As usual, Caroline wins!

Bye bye, Florida! Smell you later!

Still waiting on that darned cabana boy

Where is he?! I'm thirsty, and I have it on good authority that he will fetch me a cold glass of water!

New NTSB recommendation

You should always sit in a car seat like this. True story.

Good game, SC!

Just because I'm away doesn't mean I don't follow USC football. I even brought a USC onesie along to show my Trojan pride during the game. We got off to a slow start, but had a solid finish! Way to go, Trojans!

Bring it, OSU!

WHERE'S MY CABANA BOY?!

I WAS PROMISED A CABANA BOY!!

We went out to dinner

I had a green bean and some delicious cream of tomato soup. The restaurant brought a big bowl for mommy and a little one for me. So thoughtful! I also had a bite of key lime pie. I'm not sure what I think of it yet, but mommy and daddy sure seem to like it!

Like any California girl, I enjoy a nice dip in the pool

First I dipped my little toes in, then I started running around in the water! Yahoo!!

Hello, fishies!

Our hotel has a really neat fish tank. I like to try to catch the fish as they swim by me! Just wait until I start snorkeling like mommy and daddy, fishies! Then you'll be in BIG trouble!
