11+ months

I have 11 month pictures with the Moose, but they're being held hostage on the Nikon right now.

She's been walking more and more.
This is a really cute outfit that Chuck put together one cool morning. It's harder to see in the picture, but she look s like such a grown up little girl!

This shirt is from Aunt Lindsey. It's got the cutest little elephant on it and when you add the bow.... well, there's nothing cuter. :)

I love her in this little dress. She only tolerates it because she can't crawl in it. But it's just adorable.

This dress is from her Aunt Kristy. This was taken on her 11 month birthday. She looks so pretty!

10 months

I'm running behind on the 10 month post, of course, but she was 10 months old on Christmas Day. She also began standing on her own for short bits of time (not leaning or holding on to anything) on that day and that has increased in time since then. Just after that, her 3rd tooth - another bottom one - popped up.

She took her first steps on Jan 2nd and has taken a few more one step since then. Mostly it's just one at a time in trying to reach something that is just out of reach.

Merry Christmas

The Crosby family wishes you all a very merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year!

We will have both sides of the family represented at Christmas dinner tomorrow and Caroline will be exactly 10 months old.

We will miss those who cannot be with us, especially Chuck's sister and her family in NC. Know that you are in our hearts even if you are not with us physically!

Merry Christmas!

9 (+) months

Her 9 month birthday was the day before Thanksgiving and we were doing a lot of running around in prep for our trip to NC. So her 9 months picture was delayed and is officially late.

This month she improved her crawling, got really good at standing and cruising the furniture. She has even more recently been standing on her own for short bits of time.

I also got a major haircut, as you can see from the pictures. Mostly, I like it. It's easy to deal with.

8 months

Hard to believe she's 8 months old. In the past month, she sprouted 2 teeth, learned to pull up and is cruising all over the house/work/wherever.


We could not get her to sit down for her monthly shot - she was everywhere, so standing it is. Notice her two new teeth that popped up the first weekend in October.

Rays Baseball

Chuck and I went to game 2 of the Rays/WhiteSox series (there's a name for it, but please don't mock me for don't knowing what it is... I'm new to this) and we had a lot of fun (thanks, Joslin for hooking us up with the tickets!)

Caroline loved the cowbell we brought her (it makes noise! It's blue!) and when she got a bit sweaty, I pushed her hair into a mohawk and had to take pictures of our new little Rays fan!

Go Bucs!

Chuck won tickets to the October 12th Bucs vs. Panthers game and convinced me to go watch some live football. (I never used to be a football fan - had seen exactly 3 games at the high school or lower level live and all because a friend was playing, so it did take a bit of convincing).









Turns out that a friend of mine was also going to be there - her dad has season tickets. I don't know how she feels about her name going on the internet, so I'll call her "Cherry" like I did when we were kids. It was so much fun to see you and thanks for the pictures!









Our seats were WONDERFUL. And it was a lot of fun. (This shot, taken by my friend, was from the top of the stadium looking down at our seats in the lower section. We were in that low corner there).
