We have a hair clip!!

Carly's hair has definitely been long enough to do this for quite some time now, and for some reason, I've just never gotten around to trying it out!! So yesterday after her nap, I sat with her in her room and played with her hair!! Oh, the fun times ahead of us!! So we put her 1st hair clip in, and it was a success!! And yes, I know-to all you family members who are saying that "it looks like she has a little bit of red in her hair," just like you always do- as much as we love all of you red-heads out there, Carly is all dirty blonde-more of a golden honey~LOL~ Just so we've cleared that up for those of you who were lost in confusion-there ya go!! HEHE~




Gotta have the classic Carly face!!.....v

Sooooooooooooo Big~!

So I accidentally uploaded the wrong clip of this, but being that it took me FOREVER to get just this up, I'm afraid the "little" SOOOO BiG is going to have to do for now. Maybe when I find the patience to find out what happened to the clip where she does it over and over, I'll post it up!....But in the meantime..........

Happy 4th of July!!!

~

Here is my little patriotic arrangement for the 4th of July!Yea!!!....(I had a cute little flag to stick in the middle of this, and totally forgot to even use it till now!!Hehe-oh well!)



Here's our little lounging floater!! Carly had her first official time in the pool yesterday!! She freaked out at first to our surprise(she LOVES bath time), but we think it was due to the freezing water which actually felt quite nice with the 90+degree weather, once you got use to it. I tried to calm her down and endured the screaming for the next minute or so, and luckily she gave in. In fact, she was motionless-She didn't even move a muscle until I got her out. You can see how "excited" she was to be in the pool by the look on her face in these pics. We'd like to think that she wasn't so much frozen with fear, but just relaxing and enjoying the experience! Hopefully with some more practice with the pool, she'll be doing cannon balls into the water in no time!!!




We want to also mention that Carly's uncle, and our little brother Carsen turned 11 on the 3rd of July!! So grown up Carsen!! I'm sure it's crazy to think that next month, 19 YEARS ago, Ryan was turning 11!! Hehe-LOL! Carsen, you keep us all young!! You are such a breath of fresh air to us all. Carly loves you so much, and always lights up when you're around. Thanks for always being so much fun, a joy to be in the family with, and such a great brother and uncle. We miss you and love you so much!!!....we REALLY do. Come see us soon!! You and me have got some yummy shakes to make!!.....or a LONG road-trip to SONIC! Yipeee!!
Happy 11th!!

Enjoy~

Just some pics that I got carried away taking today!!....(Ryan's on-call at the hospital until tomorrow afternoon!! So fun!

Carly's 1st cookie....what a mess!!

Funny girl...

Carly was done eating and was laughing as I was singing goofy to her. She's doing this new thing now that once she gets laughing, she's discovering how to make other noises, i.e. fake cough, which she's doing here marvelously!

Bed head!!

Carly has had a really tough past month. We still don't know why she's so sick, and her endless misery continues....Nevertheless, today she delighted me with a good long 2 hr. nap!! So wonderful, I had to capture the moment on camera when I woke her up! Yes, I know, I'm as pathetic as they come! Today it was 91 degrees and brutally hot, and even though Carly's room is the coolest, she still managed to get a little overheated and work up some good bed head!!!

Playing dress-up already!!!

I left Carly out in the Living room for a minute while I ran to change, and when I came back, this is how I found her!! I have no clue how she even got her jammies, or on her head for that matter!! Oh my little girl is already wanting to play dress-up!!! Very creative, I must say!! ; )

Carly has had quite the rough week-She's been really sick with a terrible cold, and has been as miserable and as sleepless as can be(-mommy can deeply empathize). Last night, after a long day of countless disasters, tears, and "turmoil," Carly came alive in her bath and finally had a smile on her face. It was late-we usually are pretty good about keeping ourselves timely with Carly's bedtime schedule, but being the fact that she was happy and giving her mommy a very much needed reason to laugh at the end of such a long day/week, we decided to endulge in the moment, and enjoy letting Carly make our sides hurt with laughter. She is such a goof, and we love her for it!

~Carly and Maya~

This is Carly's cousin Maya-


Though they are about 4 1/2 months apart, they are very close.


So close, that Maya has no problem when Carly sees the need to pick Maya's nose.....

So close, that they'd lend their own thumb to the other to suck on.....


(I'm sure Carly just forgot that Maya has two thumbs of her own!).....


So close, they can lean on eachother through anything!...(even a neverending photoshoot that their mommies can't get enough of!)


And like all close friends, they occasionally have discord with one another that can only be settled in a boxing match.....(I will admit, Carly definitely took a cheap shot at Maya here-totally illegal.)


But at the end of the day.....Carly couldn't be happier than to be close to her friend and cousin, Maya...and as you can see, that makes Maya so happy, she could just blow bubbles-literally.
