Sweet Caroline is One  I really really can’t believe this sweet baby is already one. She is the funniest, sweetest, cutest little thing. I could just eat her little legs up, her squishy face grin makes my day, and I think her baby steps are the cutest thing.

We thought we wanted more than one child, but God graciously surprised us with this little girl. You made life with 5 fairly easy. Since the day you were born, you’ve just been along for the ride. You’ll go to just about anyone, rarely fussy, and love to smile and giggle. You are one of the most content babies I’ve ever been around.  Along with your go with the flow attitude, you are very quick to pick up on things-crawling at 6 months lead to walking at 10 months. You simply grew up too fast! You certainly were not one we held for very long, you’ve been on the go for most of your infancy. 

Many people say you look like your daddy and other’s say you look like Big Buddy. Either way you are most definitely a Perdue.

Mommy and Daddy couldn’t be more proud than to be your parents. We love you to the moon and back. You have made life more joyful, and your sweet presence can make the worst day a bright one!

I thought about having a sweet little party for her first birthday, with cake and ice cream. Keeping it simple, ya know? Well, that’s what we did. We had a too. I was sad at first because it’s my LAST FIRST birthday. It is has to believe that we will never have another first birthday party. Caroline wasn’t a big fan of the cake or ice cream, however, she liked the ball that she received. 

Climbing the stairs-your most favorite thing to do
Still on a bottle
Walking
8 teeth
Love being outside
You have a fondness for balls and books.
Loves to help with reorganization in any of my cabinets, closets, toilets, you name it.  
This is most likely the last summer I will ever have a 1 yr old toddling through the house.

Caroline, we love you, Baby.  You are SO precious to us.  Hugs and Kisses, Sweet Girl!
