Fun Friday

Carly's 2nd Month

Well what have we been up to? we've had a very busy month and things are finally slowing down! Carly has helped Mommy set up her classroom. We spent 2 weeks unpacking boxes, decorating, and preparing for my sub. We were both worn out last weekend!! Mommy went and met her students Monday morning and then came home to spend the next three weeks spoiling Carly rotten! She has gained lots of weight! She is now 10 pounds and 13 ounces. We bought a scale so we could weigh her whenever we want! Here are some of the fun things we have done lately....

Look at my chunky cheeks!

• Carly loves to sleep with Mommy (its the only way she will sleep). I know it is not the best thing but for right now- we're going to enjoy it. Over the next few weeks I am going to try to get her used to her bed so we can put her in it at night. Lots of people have told me to put her in it and let her cry it out....... but the problem with that is she is a drama queen- she holds her breath and then starts throwing up. It's too much for Mommy to handle right now!
• 
• Carly likes anything with lights. She will stare for ever at the lights in our house. She loves the lights at G-Daddys and G-Mommas on the porch (white christmas lights) and she is fascinated with the TV.

Watching TV with Daddy

• Daddy took her to her first birthday party- her cousin Taylen's swim party.

• She LOVES to be outside!! I know it is SUPER hot outside, but the minute I take her outside she is peaceful. Now that it is cooling off a little bit we are going to try to go out more.
• We took her on her first walk. She just looked all around!!

She has figured out how to throw a fit for attention! The minute you pick her up she is fine. She likes to scream for no reason other than to hear herself. Afterwards- she laughs!

Trying to scream....

then laughing at myself!

Happy One Month to CARLY

1 Month

My sweet girl, where does the time go? You melt my heart every single day. You truly are the most amazing thing I have ever done. I have dreamed about you for so long and you made all of my dreams come true.

What have we been up to your first month?

• G-Momma came home with us for the first five days. She helped so much and we are so lucky to have her.
• Your brother scratched your head on accident. Daddy was really MAD, but Momma assured him it was an accident.
• You had your pictures made when you were a week old. You were a DOLL and the pictures are priceless.
• You went on your first trip to the mall and slept the whole time.
• You went to the doctor- twice.
• You pooped all over G-Momma and threw up all over Mommy :)
• We spent two nights at G-Momma and G-Daddy's when our air went out.
• You went on your first road trip. We went to the PTA convention in Austin with G-Momma and G-Daddy and you were a hit!
• You went on your first shopping trip on Harry Hines with Mommy and her friends.
• You are SPOILED to your Mommy :) You want to be held most of the time and you only sleep when I am holding you.

You've had lots of visitors and everyone agrees- you are a sweet baby! You finally can wear 0-3 month clothes. You HATE socks and anything on your feet. People always tell Mommy to put socks on you and I just laugh!

I LOVE you my sweet girl!
