Lazy Day


Well today we had a lazy day at home....actually, I have just realized that I didn't even get out of my pajamas all day!!! It was quite enjoyable though. And of course we took some more pictures of Carleigh...she got dressed at least. All of a sudden the past two days I look at this baby and she just looks HUGE! I feel like she has doubled in size already haha. Well maybe that was an exaggeration, but it's close! It is so amazing how much she has changed already. She stays awake for much longer intervals, and when she is awake she is just looking around, and moving her arms and legs all over. It is just astonishing - life in general. That this little girl has so much to learn and she is learning more and more everyday it is just so cool! We had some mommy and me time today hanging out in her nursery. She got to lay in her crib while I cleaned up and put some stuff away, then we sat in her pink rocking chair for a while and she just stared at me. I could just sit there with her forever!
Well tomorrow I have a doctors appointment at 9:15am, and Carleigh has an appointment at 1:30pm...lovely scheduling huh?! And it looks like we will be getting 6-12" of snow so daddy will be in the plow truck! Not too sure how we're gunna make this work but I'm sure everything will be fine!

More Visitors!

Wow, we have been very busy with visitors lately! We had even more today! I guess that since Uncle Cody couldn't be here, all of the boys had to come to make sure that everything was ok. So they came up on the sleds tonight for dinner and some Carleigh time. Sorry for such a quick post, but I am pretty tired, and I have had a couple glasses of wine, so I am getting a headache haha - time for bed!

All Dressed Up

So sorry not to post yesterday, but we were VERY busy. We had visitors ALL day!! It all started with Gramma JoJo at 10:30 am and didn't stop until 10:00 pm!! But we do have some pretty cute pictures today to make up for it! We had to have a bath yesterday morning before all the visitors came...we can't hand over a stinky baby!! Carleigh has some beautiful curls when her hair is wet! I LOVE it!!



Then we got a package from my girlfriend from high school - and it was definately "heelarious" (the name of the company!) Carleigh Jeanne got her first pair of high heels!!! So of course we had to try them on!



Then Dee, Cindy and Kerrin came to visit for a bit...then Aunt Candy and Aunt Becky...then Kevin and Stephanie (who brought some delicious Butterwoods cheesecake)...then Mark and Jen who brough Pasquales pizza and wings for dinner!!!!!
It was a very fun - and busy day so we are a little tired today. But I believe we are still expecting some more visitors today! It's tiring being a baby! (And a new mom!!)

What a Fun Day!!

So we had a VERY fun day today!! I think we were both getting a little stir crazy being cooped up in this house for over a week now, so Aunt Courtney and Maverick came up and we headed out for a day of fun!

First we went over to our friend Heather's house. She has a 2 year old son Carter. Carleigh was obviously too little to play with the boys, but the boys had fun while us mommies could talk. Then it was off to lunch - we were all pretty hungry. After lunch we went to Wal Mart...which is always fun hehe.

I am absolutely convinced that I have the best baby in the whole entire world too haha. Miss Carleigh Jeanne was so good ALL day! She slept right through lunch and Wal Mart. Maverick slept through Wal Mart too...in the cart! We all had a pretty busy day!

Here are some pictures of our day!

Happy Birthday!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CARLEIGH! She is 1 week old today!! Holy cow that went by fast already...I have to go back to work in 5 weeks :o( Why can't we be like England - 1 year paid maternity leave. I am already dreading going back to work. Too bad the stupid world revolves around money.
Well here is a picture of Tank watching over Carleigh today while she took a nap in her swing. She has come to love her swing! And to think I wasn't going to even get one!!

Very Busy Baby!

So we had a very busy weekend! Sunday was Grandma McKellar's 80th birthday party. So Carleigh got to go for a visit to meet her great grandma and even more family! Then after that we stopped to meet Tisha and one of Carleigh's many boyfriend's JT. Even though we slept through most of it...I am sure she had fun hehe :o)
Then today Carleigh had her first doctor's appointment!! Dr. Barker said she was PERFECT. Of course her father and I already knew this, but it was very nice to hear it from a medical professional!! Of course before we had our doctor's appointment we needed a little bit of a bath...we can't possibly take a stinky baby to the doctor! This is her second bath, well sponge bath, and she definately enjoyed this one a little more than the first!

Here is a picture with Great Grandma McKellar...

And a picture of tub time!

Sleepy Baby

So it is absolutely true what they say about babies...eat, sleep, poop...and poop some more!! Brian is astonished at how much poop this child can produce! Auntie Dee, Gramma Nanci and Auntie Summer came up to visit us today. I think Carleigh had fun cause she actually stayed awake for a bit while everyone was here :o)

Here are some sleepy pictures from today.
