..."cause you will always be my baby".....

Carly is becoming quite the little lady. Every morning she comes into our bedroom and greets us with a "helloooooooooooooo", but it sounds more like a herrrroooowww. She loves to sit at the table with Mommy and get ready for school. She lets me brush her hair, put cream on her cheeks and spray perfume on her, which she calls "fancy Mommy". After that, she brushes her teeth and says goodbye to Daddy. We try to sing at least one song in the car on the way to school but sometimes she just wants to point to the buses and trucks and say "woo-woo and "beep- beep". We went to the doctor for her 7 month follow-up for the tubes in her ears and everything is great. Ears are clear as a bell, no infections and no hearing problems. She eats like there is no tomorrow and has no problems trying new things. Daddy bought her an easel to color and draw, a new floor mat with letters and numbers, a new Elmo doll and her own suede chair. Our basement looks like a daycare center. She colors everything around her with the markers and then says "oh no Mommy", but how can we resist that little face? She is getting so big, so fast we just can't keep up. Loving every new adventure and change- but missing her as a little baby. She will always be our babygirl though.

Love to all,

Mommy & Daddy xoxo

Happy Jack November 2007

Helping me on my journey through Photography my friend Karen and her husband were kind enough to let me into their home to take a few pictures of their son Jack. Hands down- one of the happiest babies I've even encountered. Enjoy!

..."so many parties, so little time".....

October 2007

Last weekend we had another birthday party to go to. I had so much fun with all of my aunts and uncles and playing with about 15 kids. We all ate pizza and had birthday cake and cookies. I even got to play with the cat!

Love to all,

....."the magical mystery tour"....

November 4, 2007

Today I went to the Vanderbilt Museum with Mommy and Uncle Louis to take some pictures. When we first got there it was sunny, but after a while it got really windy and cold. I saw a couple of geese, a few fountains I wanted to jump in and several sets of stairs that I went up and down. Once we went onto the grass, there was enough goose poop to choke a horse, so we decided to pack it in. Mommy and Uncle Louis had never been to the museum and didn't know if it would be worth it to take the tour of the mansion. Everyone there seemed lost and didn't know where they were going, or what to do. After giving several people advice- we left. I passed out in the car and that was that. Maybe next time we will go on the tour, but for now enjoy the few pictures we took!

Love to all,

Happy Halloween October 2007

October 31, 2007

Well today is Halloween and booooy did I hate every minute of it.

First of all Mommy got me two costumes, one was a black cat and one a monkey. In the hopes that I would wear at least one-she purchased two. Both of which I wanted nothing to do with.

When I got to school everyone was dressed up- including my teacher who was a clown with a big rainbow wig and red nose. I was petrified and ran into the corner crying.

Then Mommy and Daddy came to the Halloween "parade" to see me in my costume. They some how managed to get me into the monkey suit- only to find out I refused to wear the ears so no one knew what I was.

When I got home, Mommy took me to Grandma's and they gave me balloons. They must have drugged me because I ended up in the car in my cat costume with whiskers on my face.

We all went trick or treating in the neighborhood and I did not get out of my wagon once to get one piece of candy. I ate goldfish crackers the whole time.

When I got home, it was dinner as usual and then bed.

Mommy and Daddy are worried that I was traumatized by this whole day. Hopefully next year when I am older I will enjoy it more!

Love and candy,

Carly Victoria xoxo

...."back on the horse"....

October 2007

Mommy always loved photography and I think has missed it the past couple of years. After our vacation to the Cape and our photo session on the beach, Mommy has wanted to get back in the game. Daddy bought Mommy a new camera for her birthday and she is obsessed with taking pictures! She holds the camera more then she holds me lately. But that's ok, because I love letting her take my picture. She also added a program to the computer to help her change the pictures a little bit and make them look more professional. She has officially gone mental and can not stop. We are taking up collections for her to enter Photographers Anonymous. She added a few of her favorite blog sites to this blog so people can enjoy other peoples work that she admires. Check it out ya'll!


Enjoy!

October 21, 2007

Daddy bought Mommy a new camera for her birthday and we used it alllll day today. First we went to see Kaitlyn and Dara at Dara's soccer game this morning and I was eating oranges with Michael. Then we went shopping with Aunt Amy for Daddy's birthday presents. Then when I came home, all of my favorite uncles were at the house and we were playing outside. Daddy gave me a bath and it was off to bed for me. I had so much fun today with Mommy taking pictures. Here are just a few of the things we saw today. Enjoy!!

Love to all,

Carly Victoria xoxo
