Carissa's Blog

Today, Carissa officially can stand up by herself without holding onto anything. I wish that I could recorded!! maybe this weekend. Usually when she knows there's camera around she will NOT do it...

so yeah she did it twice today, she stood up from sitting position.

YAY!!! next step.. walking... anyone want to bet when she's going to take her first step??

I trade some of my baby shoes with this awesome sling, one of my babycenter forum mommies made it. Seems like Carissa like it :D

Here's a picture from last week, she didn't want to wear any t-shirt so I let her be topless :D hahahaha organic/nature baby :D

Carissa LOVES puppet show, every time we play with the puppet stuffed animal Carissa laughs so hard!!!


FYI Tikky is my favorite stuffed animal since 2000, he (tikky) is getting so old, I tried to look for a replacement that exactly like him but still no luck :(.

We tried to swaddle her... didn't work!



Can I got more yogurt please...

Today the weather was awesome, so we went to the park near our house.

There were so many kids and people, Carissa kind of shy and I think she was so tried too her last nap was at 1, and we went to the park around 4.

Anyway, here are some pictures that we took:

From First Time Go...

Here's a picture of her by 7pm:



Aw.. she's wayyyy to tired...

Sara showed me this cool gadget called the fresh food feeder, I heard about it before but I just never seen it. We stopped by at Walmart since I need to get some fabric and then I bought 2 of the feeder.

I put fresh organic banana in it, and she LOVES it! she can actually eat the whole banana using that :D

Yesterday we went to Daddy's best buddy's lil boy. He's so cute!!! but Carissa doesn't know what to think of him, she likes their puppies instead. They have 2 small dogs, Carissa loves to play with them.

I am sorry that there has not been a post for a few days - I think I keep my mommy too busy. This week she has made 13 baby shoes, 56 meals, work 2 jobs, and still is a great mommy to me. She feeds me, changes my diaper, reads to me, plays with me, and takes me on a lot of car rides.

She has recently taught me to use sign language for milk, play peek-a-boo with a blanket, play paddy-cake, how to shoot a basket, and bounce a ball.

My mommy is the best

From Icha & AJ (9 ...

AJ came over today, it's been a while since Carissa saw him, he's getting so bigggg and he already has LOTS of teeth! :D

Carissa had so much fun, in the car Carissa laughed so hard because she thinks AJ playing peek-a-boo with her since she can't really see him because his care seat is huge. But once in a while he popped his head out and then icha laughed so hard!!

We're trying to let her eat by herself, she needs to practice to chew as well. So in this video, she's trying to eat cut up banana and some baby fruit snacks.

We actually let her climb up the stairs before bath time. :D It's fun to see her trying to run away from Daddy. :D

Yesterday she was so cranky, and I had a gizillion meals to prepare.. so I decided to hold her while I prepared the meals.

It's been a tough & stressful day. We went to the dr. appointment at 10, didn't get in till 10:45-ish. Found out that she will get some shots today and I didn't give her tylenol in advanced. Everything went well until the dr. had to clean her ears a little bit and she start screaming, and she won't stop screaming. While Carson holding her, I pretty much couldn't do anything... that's what happen when I got to stressed out.

So she got 2 shots today and she also got her blood taken for lab. 3 pokes :(.

Anyway.. now she's sleeping and I'm still depressed seeing my baby being poked so many time.

Today Mommy D & Baby C went to the first Story County Momz Group play date. We went to the Ames Park & Rec center, they have a gym that they open every Thursday for moms & kids to hang out and let the kids play. They have variety toys in the gym... but most of the toys are for 12 months & up.

Anyway, we met with my BabyCenter Forum friend & her son (Alexander). Now Baby C has 2 Alexander friend :D. She might get confused later I bet :D heheheh. By the way he's actually 4 days younger than Carissa, yet he's so big compare to her.

It was fun.. she likes to play with older kids. She even play tag with a 5-year old boy.. so cute. The little boy even crawled with her :D and run around the gym.

We have a new webpage to help track Carissa's progress. We will try to update it every couple of weeks. She has a doctors appointment on April 7th - we will for sure add new info then.

The previous post actually an april's fool prank from big Daddy C, Baby C and Mommy D just helping him getting the stuff up :D hahah
