Growing Up

Carla is almost six months old already! Here are some pictures from her second trip to the zoo, her first time in her high chair and a few other cute shots.

My high chair is fun.



















Looking at sharks with Daddy.















Some cool fish we saw.















It's a tropical paradise in the middle of Nebraska!















I like playing with keys.

Sweet Potatoes Stink!

Carla is almost six months old and that means her food is getting more interesting. Here's a hilarious video that we caught of her first experience with sweet potatoes. Let's just say she didn't find them so sweet.

My First Birthday

No Carla is not one year old yet. But we recently received pictures from her birth and want to share them here. These are the earliest pictures we have of Carla Marie and some were taken just minutes after her birth.

In pain.













What made all that pain worth it.













Miracle of life. We're overcome.




















Cutting the cord.



















We did it!
















Carla's weight - 9 lbs, 1.4 ounces.














My head size 15.25 inches!
















Measuring my chest.














And my length - over 21 inches!










My hands.













My proud papa.

Strange Sounds

I am full of strange, silly and delightful sounds these days. Here's a taste of what I've been saying lately.

Five Months Old!

Carla is growing like a weed. So fast, that it's hard to keep up. Sorry to keep you waiting so long for pictures. Here are some of the latest.

I am such a happy baby!



















Sitting up...














... and falling down.















Lazy Saturday















What update would be complete without a bath shot?















I found my thumb!















I love my Daddy!




















All dressed up and looking pretty.
