Click on the word giggles…it is the sound of Carly laughing. It will need to down load and play in your media player.
The sweet sound of Miss Carly playing with her brother, Brady.
Mary Jane sent this to me while I was out of town on business last week. Made me smile from ear to ear.
Having stern conversations with her Barbie’s.
Shoving items under the couch, just in case she needs them later.
Playing “huck and chuck” with whatever she can find. Huck and chuck is when you grab something and for no apparent reason, you throw the item over your shoulder.
Listening to music.
Watching Pocoyo (actually the might be one of Dad’s favorite things).
Falling asleep on top of Mom or Dad.
Laughing and giggling while chasing Brady around the floor.
Playing in the park.
Playing in the sand at the beach.
Flashing a smile at whoever walks by.
Learning to walk.
Sorting the clean laundry.
Trying on shoes and putting on socks.
Reading books.
And most favorite thing of all…..
Being Carly.
Friday night, bubbles, and a friend to share it with.
Good times!
Today was a tough day as we dropped Miss Emma (my daughter) off at the airport. She spent part of her summer break with us before for heading back to be with her mom for the school year. Miss Emma and Miss Carly get along so well and Miss Emma is doing a great job at being an awesome big sister.
This year, the two started sharing a bedroom and Miss Emma would check on Miss Carly while Miss Carly was sleeping.
Miss Emma, Miss Carly, and Down Syndrome Daddy at the airport.
Miss Emma will be missed be all and we can not wait to see her again.
I am not tired…I am not tired….I am zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Happy 4th Birthday Miss Carly!
Just finished reading my birthday card from Grandma and Grandpa. Now it is off to school for a fun day. I hope Mom remembers the cupcakes!
Miss Carly is already set for the fall with this lovely fall getup including tennis shoes and a train engineer hat.
It maybe 90 degrees outside, but it is not too early to think about this falls fashion trends.
Miss Carly loves the water and especially loves the beach!

Pigtails? Check… Comfy stroller? Check… Fireman’s helmet? Check.. Naptime? You bet!!
She is this close……
This close to taking her first steps.
This close to pulling herself up the couch.
This close to running along the beach with her brother and sister.
This close to trying to climb every object in the house.
This close to wanting to navigate the stairs from the first to the second to the third floor.
This close to having us chase her all around the house.
This close to her chasing the cat all around the house.
This close to opening a whole new adventure to all of us.
We are this close……….
