Caroline's First Sentence

Last week Caroline officially said her first sentence.

"Take this."

She says this a lot. Most often when she's in her high chair, but also other times when she's done with something. When she's in her high chair, the trick is to take what she's offering you before she loses patience and throws it on the floor. When she's done eating, she'll gather up all of the tid bits that are left on her tray, and hold out the handful of goodies and say 'take this'. If you miss the window of opportunity, she opens her hand and lets gravity do the work for her.

I find it to be fairly amusing. She's very tidy about her tray.

She has started mimicking us a lot too. Greg and I were filling out our ballots for our local election the other day and she watched Greg lick the envelope and seal it. I was holding her and had my sealed envelope in my hand, and she grabbed it and licked it right over the address.

It's definitely time to be careful about what we say and do.
