Family pictures

 

 

 

We had family pictures taken before Nate left and they turned out great!  My friend Vanessa did an awesome job!  Thank you!

 

 



Carly {6 months}

Sweet Carly girl, you are 6 months old.  You are the sweetest, happiest, smiliest baby I've ever known!  Your scrunchy smile just melts me.  You are growing up so fast lately.  You are sitting up, rocking on all fours and just starting scooting on your belly yesterday.  You cut your first tooth a couple days after you turned 6 months, which is the earliest of the three of you.  Luckily you weren't too cranky.  The other tooth should be in soon. You still don't sleep that great at night, you are up once or twice to eat and then sometimes another time or two.  I really hope you figure this out soon:)  You seem to be dropping your morning nap, which seems far, far to early, but it means you take a nice long afternoon nap.  And since you are happy, it works out fine.  You are still a finnicky eater.  I stopped nursing and pumping last week.  It was just too hard to get you to nurse and pumping just wasn't effective enough I guess.  But we made it to 6 months.  We started some solids last week and I'm trying to give you some chunks of food to gnaw on, and so far you love it.  You've had broccoli, avocado, banana, peas, green beans, a little bread and some cereal (on a spoon:) .  I don't know how much you actually swallow, but you are getting the hang of it. 

                                                       The classic scrunchy smile:)

                                                                       Sitting up!

                                                                        All fours!

                                                       We love you so much, Carly!!

Spouse Flight 2012

I had a chance to take a flight in Nate's plane and it was awesome!  Nate didn't get to take me, but it was still a great experience.  Nate has a pretty cool job. I love this picture in front of his plane, it has his name on it, but it's hard to see.  I also love that Nate is wearing Carly:)

                                      Beautiful fall colors and Pike's Peak from the back side

                                                               We were so close!!

                                Diving through the clouds, it was awesome! It was a really overcast day and we almost didn't get to go.  It was clear and beautiful above the clouds and we had great views of Pike's Peak.  Then we found a hole in the clouds and dove back down. 

                                   Our house.  The left hand corner of the neighborhood.

                                           You don't usually get this view on landing.

Carly is growing up so fast!  In about a weeks time she went from being pretty stationary, to sitting, scooting and rocking on all fours!

            He did this on his own, backward hat and lovie tucked in his pants.  Love him.
