poor carlee

this poor child is teething like crazy. Last night she would not eat dinner! (She hasn't been eating well for a few days).. and we couldn't figure out why. Then we noticed that as she sat in her highchair, watching tv, and NOT touching her food, she was holding her cheek and patting it once in a while. When we changed her into pajamas I decided to take a look at her mouth, which of course made her mad. Her gums are so swollen, pretty much all over. Her whole bottom gums, left and right side are swollen, I can see one already trying to break through, and I can see a tooth on the top front trying to come through, and the back top right gum too! So, it looks like she will have more than four teeth soon... ALOT more... and all at once! Poor thing. Hopefully, the teeth will hurry up, so that the pain will not last too long.

Carlee Picasso

Today's Moms' Club playgroup was a fingerpainting playgroup! woohoo! At first, Carlee was a little hesitant, but after some encouragement from mommy, she finally Let Loose!

Don't worry... it's non-toxic. :P



Carlee did everything blue:
She did this one all by herself!

new jammies for a tired baby

Found these at Auchauns too.. :) Finally found some jammies with feet in Carlee's size! woohoo! She was super tired by tonight as if you couldn't tell. :P

helping in the yard

new chair

We found this nifty chair at Auchauns today. We plan on taking it with us when we go out to eat, since a lot of the restaraunts here either don't have highchairs, or they have torn up nasty ones... This clips on to the edge of the table. It's really neat.

she never gets tired of the park

A basketball player maybe?

bugging Carlee

Gah! MOm... Leave me ALONE!

some old pics

I forgot that I uploaded Carlee's Texas birthday party pics to Snapfish back when we were home. Here's the link (you'll have to make a snapfish account, but it's free):

Enjoy!

Helping Daddy

Today, Daddy and Carlee put together these shelves for the bathroom.

Carlee Katamari

Playing Catch Up

August 3, 2006: Just after helping Daddy clear out the grass from the soon to be flower garden... :)
August 5, 2006: So, the truth comes out... She's not ALWAYS a sweetie pie... lol :D

update

Sorry for the delay in updates or pictures... I'm just now getting over a bad fight with allergies. The olive and orange trees are coming into season, and it hit me pretty hard...

Carlee's been keeping us busy. She's hardly ever in one place long anymore, except when she's eating in her high chair. :) She's growing fast! Her next update is on the 23rd. She's now into 18-24 month clothes and size 5 shoe. She's so big! She's learned to brush her teeth... sort of anyway, lol. She holds the toothbrush against her teeth and shakes her head back and forth. LOL! But it works! She's also learned to throw her diaper away if the trash can is out, and she's learned to wash her hands with a little help with the soap. We just brought out the potty again, so hopefully we'll get underway with that challenge soon. She still won't let me do much with her hair, and I do try... If by chance I do manage to get a ponytail or clip in there, she pulls it out thirty seconds later.

Let's see, what else? She loves taking walks now and doesn't even need mommy or daddy's help balancing anymore. She also has taken to books quite nicely, and will flip through pages "talking" and pointing to things. She loves the playgroups I've been taking her to, and gets along with the other kids really well. The last one was a Playdogh playgroup, and I took my camera but forgot to take any pictures! She mostly tried to eat it though, and only squished it around for a few seconds before wanting down to play with toys. :)

I'll try to take some new pics soon!

Enjoying the Playground!
