"In our search to obtain relief from the stresses of life, may we earnestly seek ways to simplify our lives. May we comply with the inspired counsel and direction the Lord has given us in the great plan of happiness. May we be worthy to have the companionship of the Holy Ghost and follow the guidance of the Spirit as we navigate this mortal journey. May we prepare ourselves to accomplish the ultimate purpose of this mortal test- to return and live with our Heavenly Father."

Tagged!

Carly was tagged by Aaralyn a while back so I figured I should get to it since she can't get on the computer quite yet.

1. Carly was the perfect baby! I'm not kidding. She started sleeping through the night almost the same week we brought her home. She still sleeps through the night and we've never had a night where she hasn't. (unless she was sick) That is why I'm dreading on getting a toddler bed.

2. Carly loves to eat. She will eat just about anything we put in front of her. The older she is getting though the more opinionated she is getting so it's hard to give her certain things that she used to eat. When she first started eating solid foods some of the things we'd feed her that I thought was weird was tomato's and avocados, pickles (which she still loves!) and olives.

3. Carly loves being in the water! She takes after her father on this one! When we get in the pool she just wants to swim off by herself. She doesn't mind if her head goes under water. (she went under on accident one time and ever since then she tries to go under water, maybe that's not such a good thing!) She loves to take baths and showers and she would stay in the shower all day if I'd let her!

4. The first word Carly ever said was Kitty. The second was dog.

5. Carly LOVES Elmo if you can't tell. she can spot anything that has Elmo on it a mile away. She also know every character's name on Sesame Street.

6. Carly is the biggest daredevil (another trait she inherited from Chad) she loves to try new things. She loves going fast (i think that's why she went from crawling to running) She loves to go for short little rides on Chad's motorcycle around the neighborhood. She loves to jump off the edge of the pool into the water. Basically, she likes to give her mom a heart attack on a daily basis!

7. Carly loves animals. She loves our pets (a little too much sometimes!) She loves going out and seeing Mimi's horses and chicken (which have all sadly gone to a better place!) and their goat! Weird thing is she is afraid of large fake animals. We went to Rainforest cafe and she was terrified of the fake animals there.

8. Carly's favorite new thing to do now is color. if she sees a piece of paper, a crayon, a pencil, a pen or anything like that she immediately wants to color and it's hard to get her mind off of it! I think she gets that from me. :)

Carly now tags Andrina, Raylie, Logan, and all of Desirae's kids (if your up to it Des) :)

dumb question, how do you change the color of the font during a post? I only know how to change the color of all the posts.

She's always slept through the night? Hope #2 does the same!!!

You're a lucky Mom to have started with such a good baby - I'll wish another good one for you (although we still love the not-so-easy ones!).
