Happy Mother's Day!

Our plans for Mother's Day were to go strawberry picking.  This didn't work out because they aren't open for the season yet.  Our next thought was to hit up the Zoo, which I'm sure would have been a big nightmare due to nice weather and the weekend.  We figured if we went early though, we oculd beat some of the chaos.  Caroline apparently had plans of her own.  She woke up on the wrong side of the bed.  Very crabby and clingy!  Just what a mom wants on Mother's Day.  Nothing like making you feel loved...ha!  Needless to say, Joe and I did not want to deal with driving all the way downtown only with having to deal with meltdown after meltdown.  Plan C...downtown St. Charles.  After having Subway for lunch and running a few errands, we enjoyed walking down Main Street.  Caroline played on the old train depot, we shared some yummy ice cream, and even dared to enter a few shops along the way.  All in all, it was a nice day.  Here are a few pictures taken with my new camera, which was my Mother's Day gift from Joe and Caroline.

One Year Stats

Height: 28.75 in. (34%)
Weight: 20 lbs. 10 oz. (40%)
Head Circumfrence: 46.5 cm (85%)

Other than having a big head, which she's had since before she was even born, Caroline checked out just fine.  She had two shots, one in each leg, and had to get blood drawn to check for anemia.  The doctor said she was good to switch to whole milk and also recommended keeping her rear-facing for the time being. Her ears are doing great, and we don't go back until July for her 15 month check.
