What's Going on With Us

Everyone is finally better at our house. I got sick and then Jeff got sick. A few days went by and we thought we were safe but Karlee eventually got sick as well. She really only had a runny nose and then got a little cough. It seemed like it was never going away so I finally took her to the doctor. Luckily it was just a cold and the doctor said it takes awhile for babies to get over being sick. I felt so bad for her but she kept playing and smiling as usual. I think she is finally back to normal.

I know the grandparents are wondering why there haven't been any Karlee pictures lately. We think she broke the cord that plugs into the camera and the computer. (She is starting to get into everything and is learning to be so sneaky.) So anyway I haven't been able to put any pictures on the computer for awhile. Hopefully I will be able to soon. This is a picture from probably a month or so ago. The weather is warming up nicely so we look forward to playing outside and visits from Aubrey and Grandma and Grandpa Vocana in the next couple of weeks.

Swimming Fun

My sister came down from Utah this past weekend to visit. It didn't end up being as fun as we had hoped because I got sick. She basically took care of Karlee so I could get feeling better.

The one fun thing we did was take Karlee swimming. She loves her baths so we thought she would love the pool and she did!

For an indoor pool we thought the water was way cold but Karlee didn't mind. She had a big smile on her face.

We can't wait until we can go swimming outside. As you can see we all need to work on our tans:)

8 Months!!

Karlee is 8 months old today! She has been doing all kinds of new things lately. She thinks she is SO big and can do anything. She is getting her two bottom teeth. She is scooting all over the place (pretty much following me around everywhere). When she is laying down she can sit up on her own now. That means when we put her down in her crib she just sits up and plays. She loves playing and getting her hands on anything and everything!

I think she looks like a little doll in this picture!

Karlee still loves bathtime!

Mommy and Karlee before church.

Such a cutie!

Just because I'm bored...

Jeff decided to work some overtime today and Karlee is napping so instead of being productive I thought I would post more cute pictures of Karlee.

She likes reading now. She is finally starting to actually look at the pictures instead of eating the books.

You can see on the side of her face she has an owie. She fell down while trying to pull herself up on something. I have a feeling she will be getting a lot more bumps and bruises. So sad:(

The weather here has been awesome. As I hear of snow and ice storms everywhere else across the country we are basically in the mid 60's everyday. Karlee has gotten to go to the park a few times and she loves the swings.

She is such a doll!! (except for when she is tired)

7 Months!

Another month has gone by. I don't know where the times goes. Our little baby is growing up!

Last week Karlee was playing on the floor and I turned away for a minute. Next thing I knew she was pulling herself up on the toy bucket.

Now she does it all the time. The only problem is after she does it she doesn't know what to do next. It won't be long before she is pulling herself up completely. We need to do some baby proofing. I have a feeling she is going to be getting into a lot of trouble.

She is starting to figure out what the camera is. She is pretty good at smiling when we take her picture.

Recent Pictures

Karlee is getting so big. I can't hardly stand it. The good thing is she is lots of fun! She loves playing with her toys.

She hates tummy time and has always freaked out when we put her on her tummy. A few nights ago she decided she was going to start sleeping on her stomach though. Everytime we put her in the crib on her back she rolls over. When she wakes up she usually goes into a panic because she still can't roll over from front to back.

We have been feeding her lots of veggies and given her some fruit too. She was loving it until a few days ago. Now I have to pretty much stand behind Jeff and do a song and dance while he sneaks food in her mouth. Hopefully this will end soon. She needs to be eating though because when I took her to the doctor last week she only weighed 14.4. She is now in the 15th percentile.
She is just a little thing but is always so happy. She smiles all the time!

I just can't get enough of her.

6 Months!!

While we were in Missouri Karlee turned 6 months old! We can't even believe it. She thinks she is so big now. She always has to be up and looking around at everything. She tries to grab everything in site and then put it in her mouth. She sits up good on her own and is eating baby food now. This is a really fun age!

We went and had her pictures taken.
