Another New Classroom

I guess a sign of Carley getting bigger to me is that she continues to move up at daycare. She is now in her 4th classroom starting this morning. The daycare staff does a good job of letting the kids "visit" the next room before they actually get moved up. Ms. Dakota (the morning teacher) already knew Carley but Jarrod and I got to meet her this morning and I'm looking forward to meeting Ms. Brittany this afternoon. Some of the kids look familiar but there is one that is always right with Carley so she walked in and waved bye to us and off we went. All the teachers get a kick out of us because all the kids apparently cry in the mornings and Carley actually waves bye to us as though to say "I'm here with my friends, you may now leave". I just pray it continues to be this easy.

I will try to get random pictures posted sometime in the near future.

Hope everyone has a great week!

Don't forget...

I had planned to give Carley a bath Saturday night but after only getting a 30 minute nap throughout the day she ended up in bed sooner than normal. Sunday morning I went in to get her and she had poop in her diaper (which is typical), but there was some odd stuff on her leg. I kept looking (and still haven't figured it out) but ended up bathing her Sunday morning. I took off her dirty diaper, wiped her down, and cleaned her up, then decided to bath her first thing to get the stuff on her leg. Well, instead of putting a diaper on to turn around and take it off, I opted for waiting and just sending her straight to the bathtub, only....I didn't get her in there before she was standing in a puddle of pee all over the bathroom floor. In the future, know that hearing running water can make a young child feel the urge to pee as well.

Have a great week!

18 months today

Our sweet little Angel is 18 months old today! She seems to be growing very well and fast.
She is walking, running, and continues to get into everything that she possibly can. She
is so much fun to have around. Most have asked and yes, she is finally starting to talk more.
Some of her favorite words that we hear far more often are...
Mom
Dad
Jersey (usually yelling at her while she is barking outside followed by jibberish...
gee, I'm not sure where she might have heard that before?!?)
Mimi
Sarah
Some of the phrase that we are still working on but we have heard her say...
I love you
thank you
please
daycare
cookie
drink
and of course everyone wants her to say their name (harder task)
She has been such a blessing in our life!!! We do not go to the doctor this month but we do next month so I will send an update then. I can't remember if I already mentioned, but we now have a new pediatrician so let's all hope he doesn't move on us as well.
Hope everyone has a good week!!!
