Carrigan is doing all kinds of new things these days. It's like she thinks she needs to do something new everyday now that she is one. Luke was reading to her the other day and there were some dogs on the page. He told her the sound a dog makes and she barked like him. It was too cute! She can moo like a cow also. She knows that bows go in her hair. Although she likes to pull them out sometimes, she always tries to put them back where they go. I was breaking pieces of apples apart because the ones I cut up were too big....I found that out after she almost choked on one...YIKES....anyway...she saw what I was doing and tried to do it too. She is starting to fuss when I give her baby food now too. She'd rather eat stuff that she can feed herself. Luke noticed that one of her bottom molars came in. We had no idea....maybe that's why she has been so fussy that past week. Anyway, I guess it's good that it came in. Soon she can start chewing food with her back teeth. It opens up a whole new world of possibilities for her. Her hair is getting long enough to put in little ponytails. It looks a little ridiculous, but it's fun to fix her hair.

We went to the park today. She loves the baby swing. She giggles when I push her. She crawled up to the top of the slide all by herself like a big girl. She doesn't like me to let go of her when she slides, but she likes to go down if I hold her.

A New Perspective

Carrigan is crawling all over the place now. Yesterday, she crawled around the couch out of my sight so I crawled around to check on her. When I got close to her, she looked at me and tried to crawl really fast to get away. It was too cute. She wanted me to chase her and she was laughing the whole time.

She gets into everything now. She loves to play with the dvds that are on top of the dvd player and the Xbox controller. She understands what "no" means. Most of the time she will look at me when I tell her no and she will stop or let me remove her from what she is doing without any problem. Sometimes though, she will cry like I've just done the most horrible thing to her. She was spitting her food the other day and I looked her in the eyes and told her no. She started crying hysterically and would not stop. She couldn't even finish her food. I had to take her outside to get her to stop crying. That was crazy.



Here are a few videos for your enjoyment!
