Carys' first 4th of July

Carys had a fantastic first 4th of July. We spent the day in Maryland with Chris' family, and had a great time!

here is Brian (chris' cousin) with his adorable daughter Brynn holding her baby cousin :)

more pics of Carys and Brynn

and here is Carys and her aunt Bethany (chris' sister)

sohpie the giraffe

Carys seems to have all the symptoms of teething... and even if she's not teething quite yet, she still likes to gnaw on everything. I found Sohpie the Giraffe on Amazon (if you haven't noticed, i buy EVERYTHING on Amazon). It's an all natural rubber teether, and as you can see from the pics, Carys really likes Sophie :)

happy 3 months carys!

our little girl is growing up so fast! Carys turned 3 months this weeks...

 she weighs about 11 pounds and is around 22 inches long, people still make comments about how small she is but she has gained almost 5 lbs and grown 4 inches! She is just a petite unicorn baby :)

At 3 months Carys is much more interactive and she is more aware of the world around her. her personality is really starting to come out and it's so much fun to play with her now! i think she is gonna be talker b/c her and i have long conversations. although we aren't exchanging real words (obviously), you can tell that she has a lot to say! she grabs at dangling toys and LOVES her hands (playing with them and eating them)

here she is on her boppy for tummy time, as you can see she is getting really good at doing her little baby push-ups

 

here she is with her paci... if you look closley you can see she has her little finger inside the loop of the pacifier. she is getting really good at taking out the paci, playing with it, and putting it back in her mouth

she is still such a happy baby!

here is carys while she is talking (babbling, oohing, cooing, gooing, aaahing) to me

 some pics of carys in her bouncy seat

some more tummy time... i don't think any baby really loves tummy time but carys is getting a little better at it, she doesn't scream and cry (as much) when we put her on her tummy

here she is with this little toy around her foot, she's trying to grab at it

and one last picture of her sleeping... she likes to sleep all stretched out like this
