The girl and her cheesecake

January 2008

Over the holidays I discovered my love for cheesecake. I ate half of Daddy's dessert at Thanksgiving and half of Mommy's at Christmas. Today I had my own, whooole piece and boy did I enjoy it. Daddy said there's "going to be trouble" because he always fights Mommy for the cheesecake and eats it all and now he's going to have to deal with me. Grandma better make two next time!

Ciao!

The Cousin Party

January 6, 2008

Every year Grandma and Grandpa have the "cousin party" at there house after the holidays. Mommy always says how they have so much fun and how nice it is to get together and see everyone. We had a great time this year and there was tons and tons of food. My cousins got me the most awesome Christmas gift and Daddy put it together for me when we got home and I was playing with it all night. I was so tired afterwards I took my bath and went right to sleep. We really appreciate all of the hard work Grandma puts into the party and making it so special for the family. It's always nice to sit and visit. I love all of my cousins and I can't wait until next year!

Love to all,

...."cause my girl wants to POTTY all the time, POTTY all the time"....

January 2, 2007

Well another milestone has been hit. Today Carly's teacher called me at work and said Carly went on the potty twice. I welled up with tears and naturally tried to strategically plan my conversation with Daddy- who I knew would be crying. As expected there was dead silence on the end of the line with an abrupt- "ok, I have to go". I hope Daddy had tissues in his work van. Grandma bought Carly her "seat" to continue the training. Carly said "oooooohhhh Elmo!!" when she saw the Sesame Street seat. Daddy has not seen the seat yet, but I have a full box of tissues in the bathroom for when the time comes.

Love to all,

Mommy xoxo

...."and the hits just keep on rollin".......

Sunday December 30, 2007

Tonight Aunt Kristin, Uncle Mike, Michael and Sam surprised all of us and brought my Christmas presents to the house. I was so happy when I tore off the paper and saw my very own Barbie motorized quad. I hopped right on after Uncle Mike put in the battery- and off I went!! It took me about 2 seconds to realize how to get on, get off, make it move and turn it around. Mommy is worried I am going to fall for a man on a motorcycle when I am older. But from what I've heard- Mommy and Daddy like them too!

Vroom vroom!!

....." i wanna put on- my, my, my, my, my boogie shoes"....

This afternoon Mommy took me to get new sneakers. We couldn't believe our ears when the lady at the store told us my shoe size was now a 7 double wide. Last time- it was 5 1/2. Mommy let me choose between 3 different pairs. I told her with a very clear "no" which ones I did not want. I picked my favorite pair by responding "oooooh yes Mommy". Since my poor piggies were crammed into the smaller sneakers- Mommy let me wear my sneakers out of the store. I waved goodbye to everyone, said thank you and blew a few people some kisses. Since I was so good, we went to another store and I also got an Elmo purse. I was very good in that store too and the girl said I was adorable. Who am I to argue!

Love to all,

Carly Victoria xoxo
