Grandpa Time!

Carlyn loves her Papa....that's my dad! He thinks she is the world! He is so in love with that little girl, and it's so much fun to watch them together! Her favorite thing to do with my dad is swing outside. She knows when he's home, that's what they'll be doing! Her next favorite thing to do with him...sleep!

Growing so fast!

It's amazing how fast they grow! I can't believe how much she's changing every day! It's so fun to see what new thing she'll do next! Here are some new cute pictures!

The Good and the Bad

Let's start with the bad...Carlyn got sick! It was awful. She was throwing up, had a fever, a rash on her tummy, and worst of all...she just wanted to lay around and cry. This is so not like Carlyn. It was awful to watch. She had some kind of virus, and it just had to run it's course! A day of pedialyte and rest made her feel much better! The next day we started slow with milk, and by the end of the day she was smiling! The next day she was almost back to normal! We were supposed to go to on a mini vacation, and weren't sure if we should still go...but it had been 48 hours with no throwing up, a much happier baby, and eating normal...so, the good news...off to Mexico we went!

Mexico was a blast! We went with my father, mother, and sister in law. We stayed at my Uncle's condo in Rocky Point...right on the beach! The water was so nice and relaxing. Me, Drea, and Jason hung out there most of the time. Carlyn had a great time with her Mimi and Big Daddy watching the water come in, and all the kids playing on the beach. We also got to go into town and get some yummy shrimp to bring home! It was so much fun, and I can't wait to do it again!

THIS is why I love Arizona

It has been absolutley beautiful out lately! The high has been in the 80s, and I remember, at this time of year, why I suffer through the summers! Carlyn and I have been going to the park almost every day that I'm off. She loved looking at the ducks and all the other kids playing. Carlyn LOVES to be outside, and just enjoys the sights and sounds of nature! It is so fun to watch her discover new things...like the taste of grass isn't as good as she may have thought!

DADA!!!

Just so it is known...Carlyn did say Mama first...but only one time. Now, she won't stop saying Dada...everything is Dada!

6 Month Pictures

For Carlyn's 6 month pictures...I made her a tutu! It turned out so cute, and was super easy to make! Here they are...I may be biased...but isn't she the cutest little girl you've EVER seen??

My beautiful little girl!

Thanks for the cute dress Jessica!

AAHHHH!!!! She's actually just talking in this picture...she just yells when she talks! They said she was the most vocal child in there...but in a good way! She just wants to be heard!

This is one of my favorites!

Okay mom...I'm done posing!

Trying Real Food

She has done really well with most solid foods...she loves carrots, sweet potatoes, green beans, and ANY fruit! Let's just say the second day of squash didn't go as well as the first!
