Yummy, Yummy Cereal!!

Karly got to try baby banana cereal for the first time today! She only made one face but then realized it was yummy and gobbled it all up!!

What did you just put in my mouth?!

Hey, that stuff's pretty good!

More please!

Reagan's First Time In The Snow!

Here are some pics from Reagan's first time playing in the snow! Derek and I both wanted to play with her but we couldn't just leave Karly in the house all alone so we bundled her all up, put her in her carseat and set her on the front porch. Of course she was asleep within minutes! Oh to be a baby :-)



Helping Daddy shovel


My, what a big snowball you have Reagan!

Momma's snow angel

Here is the view from our house. This is the Beaver River with train tracks on either side. Right before I took this picture a train had just gone by. Reagan was extremely excited to see that! She screams "choo choo!!" everytime she sees a train. You can't really tell in the pic, but we are standing at the edge of a cliff. It goes straight down (and pretty far down!) to the river. Kinda scary!

After everyone else went inside, Daddy stayed out to finish his snowman! Still a kid at heart :-)

Family Fun Outdoors!

Swinging with Daddy

Looks like Rosco is saying "Please make her stop!?"

My little snowbunny!

Karly was having fun watching her sissy play on her swingset. She was all bundled up and cozy...so cozy that she fell asleep out there.



Derek was cleaning up all the dog poop that appeared out of nowhere once the snow melted (lol!) and Reagan thought she was helping with the rake! :-)

Reagan...almost 2!!

Reagan loves to help Mommy, whether it be vacuuming the floor, cooking, or throwing something away for me. Although, one time I asked her to go throw her dirty clothes in the hamper...she acted as though she knew exactly what I was talking about and took the clothes and marched right in her room. But instead of throwing them in the hamper, she threw them in the trash!

So as you all know, we recently moved to Beaver Falls. We found a new church that we really like as it is similar to our old one in Hershey, PA. The second time of Reagan being in the nursery she collided with a little boy and got a black eye! It didn't seem to affect her but we did get her eye checked out for a peace of mind and luckily everything was fine. She has been battling ear infections her whole life though and has had them constantly for a couple months. She has been waking up crying 2, 3 and sometimes 4 times a night. Needless to say, I am exhausted! We take her to the doctor's today to see if this last round of antibiotics has gotten rid of the infection and if not, they are going to put tubes in her ears.

Karly-4 Months

So we finally get our computer back and I am so happy to be able to take pictures and upload them for all to see.....and then my $200 digital camera that I just got Christmas '06 broke!! :-(

HP said it was an internal hardware malfunction and OF COURSE my one year warranty had just expired. So now I am taking pics with a very old digital we have and the quality is not as good. Oh well, at least I had a back-up!

Karly is just the best baby ever. She is so pleasant and content. She is starting to suck on her middle and ring fingers a lot. I just can't keep them out of her mouth! She loves to watch her big sissy and often laughs at the silly things she does. She also laughs at colors. We discovered this when Mimi (my mom) was saying to her that she thought her eyes were going to be brown. Karly laughed at the color so my mom kept going. Her favorite seemed to be fuschia!!

She loves to bounce in her johnny jumper and has starting rolling over from belly to back and back to belly. She is a wonderful sleeper and a very good eater...as you can see she is a little chunk. She was weighing 15lbs. before she was even 4 months old (big sister Reagan weighed 16lbs. at her 1 year check-up!!) And as you can see, she has the wildest hair ever and it doesn't seem to be lightening up! We love it ;-)
