Carli See...
It seems that when you have a baby - the baby wants to play with the dog toys and the dogs want to play with the baby toys. Carli has become the dogs new best friend when it comes to eating - not so much when it comes to playing. That doesn't stop Carli from trying to play with them. Tuesday night, Chuy decided he wanted to play with Carli's toys, which Carli didn't think was very fair. So after watching him a few minutes, she decided she would take her toy back!

Some of our Favorite Things
Carli had an awesome wkd last wkd. It was full of traveling, ppl she loves and of coarse lots of playing...
We started off Saturday morning bright and early and headed to see Uncle Kevin. Uncle Kevin has a pool and Carli is loving to "swim" these days, so off we went!
After the hard work of swimming and rinsing off - it was off to a favorite of her Mom's - Rosa's!! Couldn't pass up an opportunity like that! Good food and good company. Carli showed Uncle Kevin her new skill of feeding herself and making a huge mess in the process!
Our visit with Uncle Kevin was short but good. We headed next to Aledo to see Grammy's side of the family. It was time for the annual Smith Family get together. The best part about these get together's is the singing. That side of our family can flat sing! I didn't quite inherit that gene, but the others were quite enjoyable to listen too.
Carli thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon of cheesin' at everyone and playing with her cousin Logan. The always seem to pick up right were they left off.

Aren't they cute?
After the festivities in Aledo - it was off to Dallas to stay the night with Uncle Danny. We went to church with Uncle Danny Sunday morning. Carli even went to Sunday School Class all by herself. But I got paged half way through class, they apparently tried to change her diaper and that is Carli's new least favorite thing. She got herself so worked up over it, no one could calm her down. So I sat in there the rest of class and she did just fine.
That afternoon, Grammy and I went with my good friend Amber to IKEA. We had a good chance to catch up with Amber and do a little shopping too. Carli stayed with all the men folk and attempted to show off some walking skills. Apparently she took a few steps. She has tried a couple of times for me as well. She gets a little anxious after two steps and lunges forward most times...so I'm not qualifying these as the first steps...not yet anyway!
We headed home Sunday afternoon - we got home to a houseful of puppies and one pretty awesome dog sitter. Our friend Ashley has been a lifesaver for us this summer. She comes and stays with our dogs in all our travels. This time, WT had a bit of an issue, and Ashley was amazing. She took care of him in the wee hours of the morning on Sunday and that afternoon managed to get him in to see the vet. Then she stayed at our house with him until we got home that evening! Really she went above and beyond what we could have asked of her and we are very thankful and indebted to her! So Ashley if you read this...thanks again - you are awesome!

Carli is Kevin's favorite niece!
(Helps that she is the only one too!)

Big Girl Bow
Check out Carli's new bow! Aunt Chelle gave us this bow in March and said, it may be awhile but it was just too cute! Well, awhile came a bit sooner than I expected! Carli wore the bow all evening at church and never even touched it! Can't say the same for the headband bows which quickly become a blindfold or necklace after putting it on! This bow is a snap clip, and it stayed on really really well. (Goodness, I was a little excited about this post with all it's exclamation points.)

Bath Time!
Carli most definitely has been earning her baths lately. She is a hard playing little girl and dirt does not stop her! Add that to all the drooling she did yesterday - perhaps she is working on some teeth (knock on wood) - being in Alto and crawling all over creation, she was quite the sight last night. Carli likes to watch us run her bath, and last night she was playing with her toys as the water ran. She dropped some toys in the tub and tried to climb right in after them! At least we taught her that hygiene is important! Ha!

It Only Takes Once...
Carli got to see her Uncle Andy on Saturday as he was in Alto working too. She has turned into quite the Momma's girl, but she would make faces at him from a distance and he returned the favor! He stuck his tongue out at her just once, and she copied him...and so it began...
And a day later - still a favorite face to make!

A Wkd with Naggy
Have we mentioned before what awesome Grandparents Carli has? Well, we think she is one lucky little girl. We were very, very fortunate to convince Naggy to come visit us on short notice this weekend to babysit Carli for us while Keith and I tackled a huge painting project. There is no doubt that we would have never gotten so much done had she not come to the rescue. A HUGE thanks to Pappy for not only giving up his wife for the wkd, but letting her come without him too! And to all Naggy's friends who helped her rearrange her schedule so she could come. We really, really appreciate you all!
As always, Naggy took most of the pics for this wkd - and managed not to be in one! So here is Carli and Naggy's wkd in pictures...
Look Naggy, I can climb the stairs!
MMMM, blueberries!
This was Sunday morning and required a bath before getting ready for church!
Forget the little bites, I'll take care of this biscuit myself!!
Mmmm, Carbs!! A girl after her mother's own heart!
Night-time routine with Daddy
Another day - more time to play!
Showing Naggy how to get off the Poof Chair!
Helping with her laundry!
Stinkin' Cute!

Yes, we did it...we bought Carli a big girl potty. I really don't think she is ready to potty train, but every now and then she reques...
