Birthday fun at the ZOO!

Doesn't every girl want to spend her 24th birthday at the Zoo? Haha Nik and I decided to do something fun for her bday. Yes, it is sad but we decided to take Karoline to the zoo.
We went on the carousel..we were the only 3 on there and the guy running the thing kept making it go faster. So fast it was distorting the music. Keep in mind i was holding an 8 month old and hanging on for dear life.
We had a great time and i think nik ended up having a fun and unusual 24th for sure. :)

24 causes some serious smoke...

Happy Birthday Nik! Can't believe you are 24!
We love you!

won't my daddy be so proud of me...

Go Cardinals!
Karoline loves her daddy's baseball cap.
I need to post a clip of her throwing the baseball. It is really impressive.
She kinda puts me to shame. :)

8 month pics

It is getting so much harder to take these monthly pics. She is such a wiggle worm.

sorry so long!

Okay I'm so sorry it has been so long since I posted. Karoline is crawling and pulling up on everything these days so I can't just sit her next to me while I work on the computer... well it just doesn't quite work the same. She is at such a fun stage. She is keeping us on our toes and we are loving every minute of it. Here are some pics from the past month.

she gets so excited about standing up. Notice the new "excited" face she has started making all the time. :) so funny!

falling asleep in her swing.

yeah we are going swimming!

we spend a lot of time at the neighborhood pool. She loves it! our little pool rat!

chasing a fly. YES! I think she learned this from Gracie.
