Peeking through the crib bars

I caught a couple shots of Cara peeking through the crib bars looking for me. Kind of a cool effect. I had to put her in her crib for a bit because the changing table has been a no go for the last couple weeks. You put her on there and she rolls off into your arms and she will do that about 20 times in a row for a good ol time!

Eight Months

I decided to change it up a little for Cara's 8 month picture. Believe it or not, she isn't always smiling....though for the most part, she is. Sometimes she does get mad at mommy though. Especially if she hides behind the camera for too long. This was one of those moments. All I want is a good picture! Maybe you will appreciate it one day little girl.

Cara is really into trying to pull herself up this week. She doesn't have it quite down yet, but she really would like to do it! She had a rough week at day care the week before her 8 month birthday - they were really having trouble getting her to go to sleep. It seems like she is back on a schedule again - thankfully. She can't get enough of her toys. And even better, she likes objects from around the house! Remotes, water bottles, brushes, wooden spoons, etc.

We are looking forward to a trip to Harrisville in a week or so....one more week of work!

Although we haven't had too much hot summer weather, I think the weather has been nice. Very comfortable at home. We had a great weekend. Not too much to do, but chill. We did end up taking a walk with Anne and Sarah to see the Tall Ships in Boston at the Seaport. There were soooo many people. Cara and mom were wiped out after that!

Cara loves buttons. She picks one or two on her toy that has MANY and likes to click the button very carefully with her index finger. She likes to be precise.

Had to have a picture with Dad and the new pink Red Sox hat for good measure. I wouldn't typically go with a pink hat, but I figure it's ok for a baby!

Long summer weekend

After the month of June was a bust - I think it was raining at least 75% of the month - we had a lovely 4th of July weekend. Michael, Cara and I headed to the Cape for a few days and went to a pool party at Michael's Uncle Matt's on the 4th. It was a nice little break.

Cara seems to be finally free from her ear infections - after 20 days on antibiotics - the first round didn't take. So, she seems to be back to her normal happy self.

Hopefully July has some nice weather in store for us. We are looking forward to our trip to Upstate NY at the end of the month.

Happy 4th of Juuuuuuuly!
