CHRISTMAS 2009...

We hope you all had a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!
This will be a Christmas that Corey and I will never forget! We got to start early with Corey's family on Christmas Eve. We ate and visited and opened our gifts to each other. Unfortunately we didn't get any photos, just video and I wasn't going to upload it tonight...sorry! But it was fun, Charly was less than interested in her toys. She liked the ribbon and the newspaper sitting on the couch much better than her toys. Then in the afternoon we headed to Bear Lake to meet my family. We also ate and hung out, took our traditional Christmas Eve photo by the tree
(seen here)off course she had to rip her head band off!

And we did have one with the whole family later, but Charly was asleep and I don't have it on my camera...wish I did though!

I was so excited, like usual, but apparently so was Charly! She went to bed sorta late but then woke up repeatedly throughout the night! I couldn't believe that I wasn't the reason I wouldn't be getting any sleep this Christmas Eve. I think I slept 20 minutes total. And by 3:30 Corey and I gave up on trying to get the moster back to sleep. All she wanted to do was play, play and play! So we created a tent in our bed, equiped with legs for poles, and she went in and out for a good two hours! It was way funny, even when I want to be mad at her, I can't because she's just so cute! Her new favorite thing is to fake laugh, so anytime we laugh she does too...plus she gets tons of attention when she does it! So when 5:30 hit I thought heck we better just wake everyone up so that we could do some Christmas before she decided to get sleepy. So we woke up bright and early and it was lots of fun! Charly didn't care about anything really, so I pretty much opened most of her presents, but she sorta caught on by the end. At about 8:00 she started to look really tired. I opened her cabbage patch doll and was getting it out of the box, i look over and she was gone. She pretty much slept on and off all day and wouldn't eat! I got kinda worried but she did better the next night. She still seems to be catching up today even! I can't blame her, it was rough, we all looked horrible Christmas Day! Come to find out she cut another tooth Christmas day and is working on more! So this past week she's cut two! Poor girl! Teeth are rough! So anyway for your viewing pleasure there are a few pictures below!opening her presents
showing her sweet tent/tunnel that she won't even get near!Corey sporting his chuck t's that he's not sure he likes...i think they look awesome...he thinks they make his feet look too long! lame...your feet are long!Uncle Tony helping Charly open presents. She's actually ripping the paper herself!

friday night bubble baths....


i thought it would be fun to start doing friday night bubble baths for Charly. She loves the bubbles and she loves her baths still! It was so funny because she just dunked her face into the bubbles! what a cute girl!

9 MONTHS....

it seems weird to think that as long as charly grew in my belly, she's been out of my belly! i think i say it every post...but they grow up way too fast!Monday Nov. 16th, 2009
9 months
18 lbs. 7 oz. - 50%
28 1/2 in. - 80%

Wow so charly grew 5 inches long in three months! i knew she was getting bigger but...holy cow that is a lot! She got one of her top teeth that day, finally! And today a week later she got the other! it has been a long couple of months dealing with teeth and seperation anxiety at night! but thank heavens the past two nights have been awesome, she's slept all night in her own bed, yay!
things to remember...
* shakes her head no
*claps her hands when you say clap
*plays peek-a-boo
*knows what a puppy says and goes and gets her stuffed animal puppy when you say woof
*gabs a bunch
*loves going under things and climbing over things
*stands by herself when she's not paying attention
*can't hold still!!!

I think that's about it! She just keeps getting more fun and more busy! But we love having her and watching her grow!

happy halloween 2009....

halloween kicked off this year with an annual pumpkin carving. i've decided it's so tedious and tiring, but the end result is so fun! here are our creations this year...hmmmm.. wonder which one is mine?
Then on Halloween day, we got the itch for something new, so we made our second biggest purchase since being married....

Yep a new car! Oh and were we over due...so i'm very happy with this purchase!!!

Finally after waiting at Wilson for hours, we went home to get ready for trick or treating...here's our precious bunny wabbit!too cute...so obviously we had to go dressed as a family of wabbits!You've gotta give me props for making Corey dress as a wabbit, and for making our lovely costumes...minus Charly's...that's why she looks sooooo cute!

my baby is 8 months...

wow! time flies! i can't believe she's 8 months old! she certainly is a ton of fun and a ton of mischief all rolled into one super cute girly!

funny things about Charly...
- she hates shoes...it's probably my fault because she never wears them and now that she needs to, she hates them. and when they're on her feet she acts like they are full of cement and she can't move them!
- she's such a busy bee. nothing slows her down. she is afraid of nothing. she climbs all over everything and everyone. using her little pinchers to grab onto anything that might help her stand up. including skin and hair...ouchy!
- she finally started saying dada. but not very often. she also says woof, woof occasionally when she sees puppies.
- she's too fast now! i can't take my eyes off her for one second or she's into something she shouldn't be. including up the stairs. we're still working on coming down without falling down!
- she still loves outside.
- she loves to listen to daddy play the guitar.
- and three months after her first teeth, she has no new ones! i swear anyday it should happen. i mean she's covered in drool all the time!
- finally the spit-up has calmed down. i can't say it's gone completely away but i think it will be soon! i hope...oh how i hope!
- and we love her to pieces. she's one of a kind!
