Big Girl Bed

Well, it's been about two months now and Carla has finally gotten used to sleeping in a big girl bed. This almost two-year old is growing up fast! She still loves to smile, as you'll see from the pictures below. But, she's recently learned the art of watching Sesame Street from her cozy little pink rocking chair while sipping some cool water and enjoying a tasty snack of ... raisins. I know, the first armchair food that comes to mind but hey, we've got a growing girl here that we need to regulate. Enjoy the new pictures.














Look at all those teeth!














Kickin' back with some raisins.














Learning how to brush my teeth.














I still love to smile!














Reading one of my favorite books - "The Bee Book" (this by the way has prompted Carla when out in the back yard recently to go over to a colorful bush, ablaze with bees of all shapes and sizes, plop down, and start yelling "hi bees, hi bees" while waving frantically at them.














My uncles would be proud.













Go State!

While that may be an unfamiliar term here in Nebraska where no one follows a team with "State" in their name, it has become one of Carla's hallmarks - thanks to her Daddy's faithful and consistent training. Yes, Carla is learning early to favor purple and sing along with the Kansas State University fight song. The other day in the bathtub she just spontaneously burst into a rendition of "Fight, you KState Wildcats, for alma mater fight, fight, fight!" I quickly got my camera and tried to catch her while she was in the mood. She needed a little prompting from me but I knew her raw enthusiasm would make her Daddy proud. Enjoy!
