cookie monster

Carlee had a rough afternoon nap today. It was Mommy's fault b/c we were running around. Carlee didn't sleep too long so she was a little unhappy. What better way to cheer her up than with a cookie! I gave her half an Oreo cookie for the first time ever. You can imagine her excitement. Just check out these pictures:

my little peanut

This was at yesterday's doctor's appt for her 12 month well check up. Carlee is a whopping 20 pounds even and 28.5" tall. (30th percentile for both) Everything else looked good!

How could I forget to AW this?

AW= another message board acronym for Attention Whore (It simply means you want to share something you're proud/ excited of or just want to show off).

Well, Saturday night as I was dropping Carlee off at Grandma's house for the night, Carlee took her first steps!! She has been standing alone for awhile and all day Saturday she was a standing fool. But her feet always seemed to be cemented into the ground. Saturday night she decided to move those feet! She hasn't take more than 3 steps at a time but she's done that a few times since then.

Casey and I were so anxious for her to start walking. Now I'm not sure I'm ready for it! She's already into everything. Welcome to toddlerhood I guess!

Had to add this

I got this picture message on my phone last night. It was my brother's Halloween costume from the weekend. I was laughing so hard I had to add this to my Halloween posts.

Halloween 2008

I was excited for Halloween this year. Last year Carlee was just a day old and we were stuck in the hospital. Although she made a cute pumpkin, she was quite the Tinkerbell.

We went trick or treating to a few houses. Carlee stayed in the stroller but her cousins made sure she got candy as well. At each house they would ask if they could "have some for baby Carlee."

We were back home early for a change. So we turned off the lights to avoid the late trick or treaters.

****************

Halloween didn't end that night though. The next night we had an adult only costume party. It was the parents turn to play! The party was fun...a lot of drinking, eating, just having fun. I'm glad its over though!

Here are some pictures of the costumes (that was the best part!)
