December Pics

A few more pictures from our December 2007 activities.

We bought Carly a highchair. What a wonderful invention! It is way better than feeding her in the Bumbo. She likes green slime (green beans) and orange slime (sweet potatoes) so far.


Amy and I took the girls to the Cotton Bowl parade on New Year's Eve. It was chilly and windy, but the girls survived. More importantly, Amy and I had fun!

Auntie MJ came to visit us in mid-December. We had a great time with her! Thanks for making time for us during your U.S. tour! The first two pictures below are from the Dallas Arboretum.


Carly learned a few new tricks over the holiday. First, she learned how to roll over to her belly. She now sleeps on her belly most nights. Fortunately, she also flips back to her back! She also gave up the swaddle habit. I was worried about the adjustment, but she did just fine.



I took this video before Christmas. She has since perfected her roll, and she rolls much faster now!

Carly's mobility makes her a little more dangerous. She has to be strapped in to bouncy seats, or she will roll and nearly fall out. Sneaky girl.




Carly also learned how to sit up! Woo-hoo! This trick is my favorite so far. She still tumbles over on occasion, but for the most part she can sit up for 10 or 15 minutes at a time.



Carly has also started making the crawling movements. She can sort of scoot on her belly to get to a toy. She's been working on getting up on her knees, but unfortunately this makes her go backwards! I'm afraid it will not be long before she's crawling all over the house. SCARY!!!
