Carly's Eating Babyfood!

Carly has started experiencing fruits!! I have given her applesauce, bananas and pears. I bought "one of everything' to see what she enjoys and then I am going to make it myself. I'm really excited about being able to do that for her too. These pictures are from her eating cereal. She wasn't thrilled about cereal like she was the fruit. Of course, I wouldn't be either.

I can't believe how big she is! She is 26 inches tall and weighs 15 lbs 13 oz. She's in the 97th percentile for her height!! She's passing along her clothes to her older cousin Mady when she grows out of them! It's crazy. I have already had to overhaul all she owns and go out and buy her all new things! She's going to be tall like her daddy. Much taller than me I suspect! I cannot wait to see her as a little girl! Todd says Carly will be a tomboy, but I am praying not!

Life with Carly ....

Things are pretty good for us right now. Carly is growing so big, so fast! She will be 4 months old in 13 days. I can't believe it. It seems almost like it should be longer, but at the same time it's flown by! Carly has so much personality right now. She's always smiling. She is very laid back like her daddy. She only cries if she really needs something.

About a month ago, we had portraits taken and Carly did so well. She lasted for an hour and a half before she checked out. Lori Jackson did them, and they turned out AWESOME.

I finally got Carly her own Bumbo seat last night. We haven't gotten to try it out yet, but I am so excited about it!!! She's been sitting in everyone else's!

Carly does really well staying away from home. She's spent the night with grandparents three times, and she does amazingly well. Part of me is grateful and part of me says "Hey! You're supposed to miss me!" .. hehe.
I am very excited for the holidays and everything that is to come. We have been so very blessed!
