Diapers grrrr

So... Carlee is a big girl. I know that, you know that, we all know that. So, her size two diapers were starting to not fit right, and frankly were starting to explode, lol. Yesterday, I put her in a size 3... I thought it fit, but after getting home from shopping, I saw that this one also didn't do it's job. Both sizes were huggies, the twos don't fit right around her big belly, but the threes are too big around her legs. How frustrating! lol, So now I bought yet another new bag of diapers, size two, but this time Pampers. Hopefully, these will fit better. :)

I took this pic about a week ago. Carlee looks so interested in Daddy's game, she loves watching all the flashes and colors on Xmen vs. StreetFighter. They spent this afternoon enjoying the new couch. :)

Three Months

She found it!!!

Even though it was for less than a minute, Carlee found her thumb this afternoon!!! It was sooo cute! She was laying across my lap on a pillow and I was watching her smack away at her fingers. Suddenly she quit all the slurpy noises, I looked back down and she had her little thumb in her mouth and her other fingers held against her nose. It was so adorable! I wish I had had the camera near by, but it was across the room. Once she let go, I got up to grab it just in case she did it again. But after that she mostly went for her four fingers lol... Hopefully I'll get a picture of her doing it! yay! :D

Carlee has started grabbing, not just reaching, but grabbing things. Well, I say "things" but mostly it's been the shirt of whoever is holding her, or like last night my neck... which didn't feel too good. lol... She's got quite a grip too. :D

a little big for your age?

We went shopping today with Grandpa and Grandma Beck at the new Saint Johns Mall. While we were at Dillards, the saleslady commented on how cute Carlee was and asked, "How old is she? Six months?"

I just laughed, "No, only a little over two and a half months." LOL...

"That's a big baby!" she said.

"Yeah, she was born that way too!"

I'll post some new pics soon. :D

May 22 Personality

My good friend Rise sent me this page from a book about birthdays. This is the personality and characteristics of people born on May 22... Carlee is already showing some traits! :)
*******
People born on this day are unique in the extreme. They have great charisma and the ability to draw attention to themselves. Also, these men and women possess something of a dual nature. They may be lofty and intellectual one day, earthy and intense on another.


These individuals have a deeply spiritual side that they seldom reveal to others. For this reason they usually keep their personal beliefs to themselves.

Friends and Lovers: May 22 individuals are generally seen as leaders by others, though they may not see themselves in this role. Even as children they seem older, more in charge than others, as if born to be authority figures. Members of their inner circle are very much in awe of them.

Love can be a complicated thing for May 22 men and women. They may be unwilling to see the problems and failings of a beloved individual.

Children and Family: May 22 men and women believe in the traditional family values. This is especially true if they weren't involved in a close family unit as children. They may not always agree with the attitudes that were passed down to them, or even with the religious beliefs that were espoused, but they do understand that family members can disagree but still love one another.

People born on this date take a very active interest in the lives of their own children. They are strict disciplinarians, yet fair. They are likely to impress upon their youngsters the importance of honesty and integrity.

Health: The people born on this date are naturally healthy and work very hard to keep themselves in top physical condition.

May 22 men and women have hearty appetites. They like plain food, cooked simply. They require a lot of protein in their diet, especially the sort gleaned from red meat. Although alcohol is not troublesome to their system, they should make water their beverage of choice.

Career and Finances: The written and spoken word has great meaning for people born on this date. Even if they do not make their living in this way, language will continue to have power over them all through life.

May 22 people are intelligent in a very common-sense way. They don't flaunt their knowledge and could never be thought of as intellectual snobs, yet erudition is their trademark.
Money has an important place in the lives of May 22 natives. They generally have big plans in life and making a good living is part of it. May 22 people are generous to their friends and family members.

Dreams and Goals: People born on May 22 are proud to see their hard work rewarded. They don't believe in getting something for nothing and would not wish to have idle dreams come true. But when they work very hard toward a goal, especially if it requires the discipline of many years, they are ecstatic.

May 22 people do not look for or need the validation of outside opinion. If they feel they have done a good job, that is reward enough.

Tiny Hands

Last night, I was laying on the bed with Carlee. I was talking to her and trying to help her relax and get ready to eat and then go to bed. As she laid there, she was looking around and cooing alot. I was enjoying watching her so much. Then she stretched out her arm and laid her hand against my t-shirt. She then got this look of deep concentration as she watched her hand move. She moved her fingers, stretched out her hand, and with each movement her eyebrows furrowed and her gaze never moved. I smiled. Watching her realize she had control over her hand and arm was so amazing. "Yes, Carlee," I sang, "That's your hand! Good girl!" and she looked right at me and smiled! :)

She's also recently learned how to bring her two little hands together! I'll see if I can get a picture next time she does it. :)
