Carlykins

Carly is 6 months old... wow that went by fast! In my mind she should still be a little newborn baby. She's such a sweet, sweet baby. She's very content and a big time mama's girl. She loves... sucking her thumb, grabbing her toes, bananas, and Abigail's hugs.
Her 6 month stats:
16 lbs. -60%
26 1/2 in. -90%
head -50%

This is what Santa brought Abigail and Carly for Christmas this past year. To my surprise, Luke loved it the most. I think he 'cooks' more than Ab. My Mom made Ab a hat and apron to go with her kitchen, then later decided Luke would feel bad if he didn't have them too. So she did some for Luke.

I didn't know where I was going to put it .... it obviously wasn't going to fit in their room... so I put it right off of my kitchen. When I'm making dinner, and the kids try and 'help' me, I tell them to make me some dinner in their kitchen. Then I can get dinner done a little quicker and a lot more tidy.

My baby brother got his mission call on Wednesday. He will be serving in the Columbia Barranquilla mission. He'll be speaking Spanish and he leaves June 10th. Blake has such a good heart, and he is a hard worker, I know he will be a wonderful missionary.

Tight Squeeze

I wasn't sure how I would work having three beds in one tiny room, but we got it figured out. Everyone got a hand-me-down bed, Luke got Fisher's, Ab got Luke's, and Car got Ab's. The dresser went in the closet and there's just enough room to walk in and out. Luke and Abby are loving their beds, and they stay up talking a lot later because their beds are right next to each other. Carly is still in our room in a cradle for a couple weeks, until the kids get used to the new arrangement.

Same Old Stuff

Life has been a little boring of late... not much to blog about, but I did find some cute/interesting photos while uploading my pictures tonight.
Here's Abigail, pouting in the corner because I wanted her to put clothes on.

I guess Ab had her own little photo shoot the other day, because I found these pictures...

What do we think... future photographer?

Luke is growing right up! And not only does he look exactly like Ben, but they've got matching hats (see last post)

Our little Carly, aka Carly-kin, Cars, Card, Carly-sue, Car... fast asleep.
