Papa's hat

In the video (check the archive on the left), witness Caroline sporting a hat in support of Papa's workplace. However, in the end she reveals her true allegiance.

First real trauma

Well, it's happened. We've had our first traumatic incident. Caroline fell and chipped one of her front teeth - pretty good too. Of course, just in time for my sister's wedding and all the pictures to last eternity! The strange thing was, she wasn't even walking when it happened - just sort of stumbled when she was hopping around like a bunny and fell tooth first on the hardwoods. It even left a little dent in the floor (something to leave behind in Cincinnati, I guess). :(
We had a quick trip to Indy to visit our pediatric dentist and got a pretty good report - but still a 30% chance she may have to have a root canal if there was damage to the tooth - yet to be determined. She must be trying really hard to follow in her daddy's footsteps as he had a root canal as a 15-month old after repeated falls and bumps too - so it runs in the family. We'll have it bonded at some point, but I'm waiting until she's a better patient at the dentist so we don't have to sedate her (not such an amiable patient at this time).


It really just looks like the gap between her front teeth has gotten bigger more than anything, I think. I don't think anyone will notice much with all that hair anyway!

Independent Ambulation

As you can see from the video above, Caroline has decided to venture into the world of unassisted walking (with a dance break sprinkled in here and there, of course).
