3 Months


    Carley is already 3 months old! She already hates being a "baby" and wants to sit up all the time. She loves playing on her play mat and trying to get her toys in her mouth. She loves being held in the air over our heads and gives us a huge gummy grin and the cutest laugh! She isn't so fond of tummy time, but is learning to lift her head and look around so it's getting better. She weighs about 11 pounds (I'm just using our scale at home since we don't go back to the pediatrician so I know it's not the most accurate) and is in size 3 month clothes. I love how she lights up when she sees us and turns her head to follow us with her eyes.

We have had some really pretty fall days here and have tried to get outside to enjoy them while we still can. Above is a picture we took playing outside in the front yard one day. We also went to the pumpkin patch to pick a pumpkin for Carley! We had a great time with Chris' brother, his wife and cousin Bailey!

After our visit to the pumpkin patch, I just HAD to try and get Carley in the pumpkin for a cute fall picture. As you can tell, she was not amused. I had to get underneath the table and reach my arm up to hold the pumpkin steady as Chris took pictures. The whole time I was grinning and Chris was saying over and over again "I'm sorry, mi amor, your mom is crazy". 



 After our pumpkin pictures, I decided to not let the pumpkin go to waste and am roasting it. I have tons of pumpkin now, so if you have any pumpkin recipes I would love to hear about them!
