The latest and greatest


Went to classic skating one night- Blue wanted to ride her scooter all night!




Cousins together

Went to see the princess at the library

Wants to wear a nightgown for naps everyday. At least she still usually takes a nap...

Check out that ballerina skirt + nightgown= booty

Enjoying the life of rice cereal, or "baby mush"

Helping Daddy mow the lawn.

...and then getting distracted. When she saw this picture she said "Rapunzel let down your hair!" So apparently that is what she was doing...

Just a random pic of Carli growing like crazy

And this one- well she looks like a girl now, not a baby!


You may have to click on this to see Carli's expression

After Carli's first experience eating mush

I don't know what she likes more these days- her fingers or her food

Trying out both at the same time...

It was a fight- I had to hold down her hands sometimes to get the food in!

She doesn't seem to realize that all she has to do is kick a leg and she could roll over. Oh well, sometimes it is ok when they are immobile!

She got new sparkly light up shoes -shoe shopping with Gigi. (turtle jammies are also compliments of Gigi) She refused to take them off for bed. I told her she could wear them to bed that first night if she was quiet and calm. She was neither. I think our neighbors heard the fit she threw when I made her take them off.

Her and her baby in their pretty dresses

twirling- a favorite pastime

Hanging out with cuz'

All the kids singing at Jackson's baptism- it was so cute!

Carli, Papa and the baptized boy

I don't know what Carli was doing here with Gigi

Enjoying the treats :)

Carli is one of the happiest little babies ever! It is so much fun to get her started a giggling!

She really is a laugher

Mark's b-day date night. We don't take very many pictures of ourselves...

Reading books before bed. I laid next to Carli to read and Blue had to find a spot for herself!

Spring and all that

I uploaded these pics a while ago but have not had a chance to write anything...

One day I went in to wake Blueberry up from her nap and she would not wake up to me rubbing her back or arms. I held Carli down into the crib and that sure woke her up. The cutest thing was that she did not even hesitate or startle, but immediately reached out for Carli and gave her a big kiss. She is such a great big sister and Carli loves her so much!

Playing on her birthday scooter

Carli is too big for the baby doll stroller!

One of Carli's nicknames from Mark is lizard. Can you guess why? Maybe the big fat and round belly protruding???

Playing with her Cinderella doll- her favorite!

We love to cuddle in the "big bed" on weekend mornings. This is what Mark always hopes for at 6:00am- to fall back asleep for a little while!

Carli had to join in the fun!

Enjoying more than one birthday prize at once!

Such a happy little one :)

Blue was helping Dad in the garden- she loves getting dirty

and she loves helping her dad!

She's graduated!

Yes, my Carli-bop has graduated... from her bouncer seat to the bumbo :)



So pleased with herself!

Oh, and Carli-bop is a little nickname donated by her loving sis... We also call her Carli Carli bo barley quite often as we sing the whole thing...
