Rabbits and Razorbacks

Caroline turned nine months old this week on April 10, giving us time to reflect on the fact that we have now had her with us for as long as we awaited her arrival. She is weighing 19 lbs., 4 oz., now, and her length is 29 inches, which is at the 90th percentile of girl babies for her age. So she's starting out lean and tall. She likes to babble, and she has learned how to crawl all over the place, pull herself up on furniture, and stand without help. Walking and talking are not far away now. But while we have been thinking back on nine months of parenthood and childproofing the house, Caroline has been enjoying herself by spending time with some furry friends (besides Winston), the Easter Bunny and one of the mascots for the University of Arkansas Razorbacks, named Pork Chop.
She met some new human friends too, including head football coach of the Razorbacks and last year's Southeastern Conference coach of the year, Houston Nutt, and starting fullback for the Razorbacks, Peyton Hillis.
