Growing Up

It’s been almost four years since we brought Carly home from the hospital. She was my smallest baby, just over 7 pounds (two pounds smaller than both Abigail and Jason). She seemed so fragile.


I took this picture a few weeks ago when Carly thought it would be funny to sit in Jason’s car seat (also her old car seat). What happened to my tiny little baby?


Carly is a great helper. She loves doing laundry with me… she hangs up clothes, sorts socks, moves the clothes from the washer to the dryer, folds towels, etc… Carly’s favorite cleaning product is Clorox wipes - she’ll clean off the kitchen table, wipe the toilet seat, and clean the bathroom sinks. Of course she needs a new wipe every 30 seconds, but she’s cleaning so that’s okay. She also loves to help take care of Jason. She loves to be involved whether she’s getting me a diaper, giving Jason his binkie, or helping him take a bath.

(I know... he's getting way to big to still be taking baths in the kitchen sink)


On a rainy Saturday afternoon last month, Justin asked Carly if she wanted to help him deliver something to a friend about a mile away. Abigail had just walked over to a friend’s house to play wearing her rainboots and umbrella. Carly really wanted to use this as an opportunity to get all her raingear on too. So off she went while Justin drove slowly behind. I think he only let her go a few blocks before making her get in the van, but she was determined enough to go all the way.


We love our Carly!
