Pictures

With the world these days, I forget about people who DON'T have facebook.  My grandparents being one of them.  I am so blessed to have the majority of my family on facebook, that I forget that they don't have it so they do not get the privledge of being spoiled with so many pictures of beautiful babies.  So my dad asked if I would take some so he could print for my grandparents in Iowa and so I could print some for my grannie in North Dakota.  I don't know what I was thinking that they would actually cooperate and it wouldn't take long to get a great picture of them both looking and smiling.  HAHA, yeah right momma!  We spent some time Saturday afternoon taking some pictures and got some good shots.  Hope everyone enjoys!

Binkie Boot Camp

One of my new year's resolutions is to try to get Carlie off her binkie, or at least during the day. When Cohen was little, he also had one but as soon as he started getting teeth, he basically took himself off it. For him, we battled his bottle for along time. He got down to having it just before bed, but it sure was a challenge. With Carlie, as soon as she had her 1st birthday we just went cold turkey and moved onto a sippy cup. Although she was not near attached to it as her brother. Her thing, her "b".
This week we have let her have it at bedtime and nap time only. She asks, begs and cries throughout the day, but each day it has gotten a little better. I'm fine with her still having it to sleep but the goal is for her not to want/ have it during the rest of the time. So far, so good though. We will see how this week goes and hopefully even get her away from it all the time. Thanks Miss Kim for helping us during the day also with this. Next up, potty training!

Carlie's 2nd Birthday

We had a great day for Carlie's birthday. We started by going to church in the morning. Then in the afternoon her Gigi, Auntie and I brought her to The Cheesecake Factory and then to the American Girl store that recently opened in Houston. She loved trying all the dolls and accessories out and we bought her the Bitty Baby. When she is 5/6 I would love to buy her an American doll. We then went back to Gigi's house and had cupcakes and she got an awesome bi pink trunk with dress up stuff. She loves it! I can 't believe my baby is 2 already. Happy Birthday baby girl, we love you so much!
