17 Months and counting!

That's right, Caelin is 17 months old! This summer FLEW by!  Every weekend we were here, there and everywhere, visiting with family and friends and taking advantage of the fabulous summer weather!  To end the summer, Caelin has decided to turn on a few new personalities.  Her favorite is "Destructive Debbie".  Just about anything she can get her hands on she will throw, swing or bat at the couch or dogs or whatever is in her path.  She has become a lot more risky as well, attempting to climb on the couch, large bins, etc.  She is constantly requesting "owwside" and is able to screetch "Mommy" and "Mum" at the top of her lungs at 5am when she is ready to wake up!  She is still a picky little eater, however lately she seems to be particularly interested in frozen turkey meatballs, french toast sticks, and she ate 3 tomatoes at the farm the other day!  For the most part, veggies are still being snuck into things (like mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, yogurt and cottage cheese- but in general she is a little more willing to try new foods- especially if after she tries it you have a "Shishy" (aka gold fish) to reinforce her attempt!

Scenic Railway Ride and Slides!

While we were in North Conway, we also enjoyed a nice train ride on the Conway Scenic Railway.  We opted for the short ride (30 minutes out, 30 minutes back in) which was perfect.  Caelin loved the ride out, staring out the window, waving at people outside and pointing out all the birds and trees!  On the way back, she decided to snooze a little.  After a fun train ride, we headed out for breakfast then stopped by the park to get in a few slide runs before the long ride home.  We had a great 1st trip to North Conway and are looking forward to going back again!

Just one more time!

Storyland

This past weekend, we made the trek to Conway, NH to visit Storyland with Caelin's friend Alex and two new little friends Colton and Caleb.  After a bit of a fiasco on our way up (Caelin had an allergic reaction to strawberries...still not sure why since she has been eating them for months now) we finally got up to Conway and hung out for the afternoon at the pool.  On Saturday, Caelin was a trooper, lasting from 9-3 at Storyland.  By far the Carousel was her favorite but close behind was the little houses, the whale ride and of course the bark mulch.  No matter where we were in the park, she seemed to find the bark mulch!  Caelin's buddy Alex showed her all the cool rides and things to see, he was a great guide!
