An exciting week! Caroline celebrated Mom's birthday with Grandma and Grandpa Didyk on Saturday and had a visit from her new friend Dan. But it wasn't all fun and games - she also practiced smiling every morning from 8:30 to 9:30 (hours to be extending soon), and began exercising in her baby gym. It is hard work stomping your feet and flailing you arms wildly, plus keeping those hanging toys in line - gotta keep a close eye on those guys...

Baby C. would like to thank Aunt Nicole for keeping Mom calm on the subject of the science of baby poos and Aunt Stephanie for all the outfits that come in handy when the poos get out of control.
Pictured above is an action shot of Caroline playing ball with Bear with a little help from her Mom. Mom is also going to help Caroline with singing, dancing and kung fu, while Dad is expressly prohibited from singing. Dad will help with hockey, running and knock-knock jokes.
