You are thirteen months old now and really have a lot to say!! New words seem to pop out of your mouth on a daily basis. Many of them only make sense to you though, but with practice you sometimes say a new word that does! Apple, bear, toes, cheese, gentle and pretty are a few of the newest ones that we can actually understand. You say Thank You quite often and on your own at appropriate times now, which is really neat! You still have a great love of books and when mommy counts the doggies in the book you 'count along' in your baby language. You also say 'woof woof' to them as well. You love to go for walks and explore the world, and pick up different treasures along the way. Your favourites being either a small stick or a pine cone. We take you to the park and your favourite thing to do still is to go on the swing. A sure way to get a great big smile out of you. Silly things make you laugh now, like wiggling a teddy bear near your face and making funny sounds seems rather hilarious to you. You love to turn things off and on, like light switches and the TV. You are still learning the word no and often when we say that dreaded word, you laugh and run away. You had your first time out this month, and had to spend one minute in the pink chair for repeated hitting one of Angela's friends. You were not being very gentle at all. You like to let us know when you want something with what Daddy calls your fake cry. You make this cry sound when you want something either you cant reach, or not allowed to have. Its cute, but getting rather old!! You still like to make funny faces at yourself in a mirror and sometimes fight us when we put you in the stroller as you would much rather walk, then ride. Who could blame you when there is so much to see in the world. You run to the window and mommy will lift you up so you can see the garbage truck lift the big containers to empty them. This is very facinating to you and wave bye to the truck when it leaves.
Grandma and Grandpa found you a toy box to hold all your toys and it helps to have a cleaner living room. Its a neat game for you to pick up the toys and toss them into it, but much more fun to empty it. You love all foods except ketchup and only have two bottles a day now. We took the night time bottle away and you dont seem to notice. You like your cup with the straw much better than the sippy cups though, and also can say 'ba ba' for bottle.
You discovered your bedroom now, and we can safely allow you to play in it as mommy baby proofed it for you. We bought you a kitchen set which you like to play with by opening and closing the doors. Not quite a chef yet, but you dont have a frying pan, or play food either. Something to think about for Christmas presents this year.

Friday, August 7, 2009
Your birthday has come and past!! You are now one years old!! We had a big party to celebrate and family and friends came bearing presents and food! Mommy made you a pretty bow for your hair and a special dress was picked out just for the occasion. There was also a t-shirt and shorts to wear later that had ''birthday girl" and a picture of a birthday cake on the front. I will keep that stuff so you can use it possibly for the little girl you may have one day. I have a special box of things that we will keep especially for you to look through and share with your children when you grow. Its strange to be talking about these things when you are just one years old!!
Here is a list of the guests and the gifts they brought for our special girl:
Mommy and Daddy: We got you a Leap Frog game for the TV that teaches you things, but gave it to you when you were nine months old. We also got you a big red ride on car that you just love to ride around in with Daddy's help. We also got you the pretty dress and outfit for your special day.
Grandma and Grandpa: Got you a really neat table and chair set with matching umbrella for in the yard. Grandma made you a incredibly beautiful sweater which mommy will keep for you as well. It has a farm scene and although its a bit big for you, it will fit by winter.
Antie Anita and Uncle Ken: Antie Anita gave you the very special gift of becoming your Grandma and in the Native Culture you will grow and call her "Gea"
Uncle Brad and Auntie Cheryl, Bradly and Cory: Gave you a new dolly, which you love. A really cute Winnie the Pooh outfit, teddy bear and some small toys to play with in the pool outside. They also gave you a collection of music cds for your player.
Auntie Sue and Jack: Gave you two balls, one a huge Winnie the Pooh one and a smaller one with Care Bears on it. They also gave you a collection of music cds for your player.
Angela, Paul, Maddison, McKenzie, Logsn and Kennedy: Gave you two pairs of shorts with matching shirts and a pair of Pj's.
Its been a busy month for our 12 month old! You bring us your toys now for us to play with you. This is a great game and your favourite toy is this plastic book that when opened plays songs and tells stories. Another Grandma and Grandpa gift! You also like to look at yourself in the mirror again and make funny faces at yourself. You wave bye bye at people really good now and blow kisses with your hand on your mouth. You said a few new words like shoes, which is your favourite word. You are only a year old and you already love shoes! Must be a woman thing. On August 16th you said 'shit' which shocked your Daddy. Daddy dropped something and said "Oh shit" which you kindly repeated, then Daddy called mommy at work to tell me the news. It was pretty funny.
On the 19th you had to have four needles! Oh you cried so much it just broke my heart. Daddy couldnt be in the room while you were getting the shots. We got you weighed and you weigh 21 lbs 9 oz and 30 inches tall!! You are soooo tall Carly!

You are now 11 months old!
Its been a very busy month for this little one of ours. It seems everyday you have a new tooth and now have four molars, four teeth on top and three on bottom. You are a very busy little girl and are quite adamant about the things you want and dont want and protest quite loudly when things dont go just the right way for you. Its quite cute actually, and can be diverted easily by a toy you particularly like. Your favourites this month being this cube by Fisher Price that Grandma bought for you. It has many blocks that you like to shake around and bang on things. You like to press the button on top and make it play music as well. Your all time favourite thing to do is to give kisses to your big blue teddy bear and dolly the most though and will say "awwww" while giving most generous soggy kisses. Sometimes mommy, daddy and Angela are blessed with those very special kisses as well and never fail to make us smile. We just love you so much Carly and are a big part of our lives. You love your books and will look at the pictures now and talk about them and still enjoy your piano but are starting to move on to better things. You also love to play in your pool and splash around in it until you are shivering and cry when its time to take it away.
Some very important milestones happened this month as well. You decided on July 24th that you were tired of crawling and popped right up on your feet and started to walk!! Its just the cutest thing we have ever saw and Daddy was so proud he had tears in his eyes. Another thing thats cute is that when you fall on your bum, you sometimes say 'ouch'. You are starting to speak more and say "whatssat" at many things. You still squeal loudly to get attention when people are talking and not looking or talking to the princess.

By the time....
you read this you will not be in the crib anymore, but in a bed that has been transformed, but if you feel the footboard you will be able to feel the teeth marks you have left there from a long time ago. You decided that just laying around isnt fun anymore and on May 17th (Uncle Allen's birthday) I found you standing up in the crib. You were incredibly proud of yourself and by the 24th you were cruising furniture and chewing on the coffee table and anything else you could put in your mouth. This is the month you learn the word 'no'. You can turn on and off the TV and change the channel on the box. This is great fun for you!
You love to climb things and have never gotten stuck and are able to plop down on your bum again with no problem. You can climb onto your plastic ride on toy, but cant seem to get off without falling. On the first of June you started to crawl for the first time and are very quick to get into things. I woke up with you this morning to find a new tooth had popped its way in. Your top right tooth is looking good and maybe with its arrival you will stop chewing your crib and the coffee table.
You are finding a lot of your toys to be boring now. Rattles just dont do a thing for you anymore. You still really love your piano and climb up on it and dance to the music you make. We sing "If you are happy and you know it, clap your hands" and you clap your hands. You can also wave bye bye when you are in just the right mood. You love books and other toys that make noise but you love to play in your little plastic pool full of water the most. You splash and laugh and climb out of the pool onto the grass and back into the pool again. You just love to be outside. We take you to the park and you just love to see the other kids and try to get their attention by squealing. You do however, make strange to other men. You cry quite loudly and reach for mommy or daddy when a male that you dont know tries to play with you. You still charm the dickens out of women and children though. With those funny faces and a smile that will melt anyones heart, no one can help to have their day brightened when you bless them. You are also afraid of any loud noises like the vacuum cleaner or paper shredder.

Time flies....
and now you are nine months old. So much has changed in this short month. The weather is getting warmer and you love to be outside. It was nice at the beginning of the month when we would put you outside in the bumbo on a blanket and would play with Angela with the toys, but now you can get yourself out of the bumbo and try very hard to eat the grass. You are so quick now and almost crawling! You get up on all fours and rock back and forth, but still prefer to scooch along by pushing one leg on the floor and kinda dragging yourself along. We have to baracade you in as you are so quick you sometimes get yourself into trouble with wires and such from the TV etc. You are trying very hard to climb up on furniture too! You almost climbed up onto your piano and when Angela held up to it you played and squealed very happily. When she put you down on your bum again, you cried and fussed as you wanted to stand. Your jumperoo is getting boring as its too confining.
You are saying more sounds now too! You still say Da da over and over again, but now say Annala for Angela, and nana for banana. You will say mum mum, but only when you are hurt and crying and want me to hold you. You sometimes wave byebye and are just learning this
You also got a top tooth this month as well! (Top left) Busy month for Carly thats for sure. Your favourite game is escaping our little confinement we made for you in the living room and when we go chase you, you laugh and squeal in delight, but dont cry when we put you back because you know you can just escape again. You also love it when Angela holds your hands and walks around the house with you. You step while Angela counts and the highest she has gotten so far is twenty two before you get bored and want to do something else. You still love music and will now sing along with it and rock back and forth to dance. This is just incredible to watch and we look forward to the time you do this. Daddy holds you upside down and gives you upside down kisses now and you think this is great fun. You will lean forward to go from person to person to get them to hold you and from time to time will actually put your arms up for someone to pick you up.
You really hate babyfood so we just feed you whatever we eat for meals now. Your favourite still being banana's. You also love pasta and tomato sauce. You are eating a baby buscuit right now and really enjoying it.
You cry when you dont get your way sometimes now and your personality is starting to shine. You smile and laugh most times and love attention so much you scream really loud if no one is giving you any while in the stroller in the mall etc. You love to be part of the conversation too and will talk and babble very loudly just to make sure everyone hears your opinion.
Daddy sent a birthday invitation to the family that I want to post here for you to see. He also attached a picture of you sitting outside in the yard. Its very cute and original... We are moving to Langley on the first of June and there is a nice yard for us to have a party in and we are looking forward to getting you a swing, which is another thing you love to do.

The above message was typed by Carly this morning around 8 am with her own unique brand of slap hand typing which is really something neat when it doesn't crash Daddy's computer... I will translate for you.
I'm Carly, I'm going to be 9 months in at the end of the month. I started to say Da Da a few days ago (Daddy says at 3:25pm on April 15th to be exact) this seems to make Daddy & Mommy very happy so I humor them by saying it a lot.. they are so easy to amuse. Now they want me to say Mum Ma too & I am working on that.
I have a Big Sister Angela who plays with me a lot, she makes funny faces and likes to change me sometimes too as long as I don't have a poopy :) Yesterday Angela and her friend Selina were playing in the back yard and I sat out there with them and took in some sunshine. I like Selina a lot and always smile when she comes over and always cry when she walks away from me. Sometimes Angela will even let me play with her Bratz dolls!
Some of my favorite things are:
Cream of Wheat cereal
Bananas
Pasta with tomato sauce when Mommy will let me have a little
Ice Cream, but Mommy always tells Daddy not to give me too much
My scrunchie Winnie the Poo book that Auntie Cheryl gave me
My Winnie the Poo spinning top
My piano or any other toy that makes noise
My Pink toy cellphone
Having a bath with Mommy
Mirrors
The bows Mommy makes me
Having my picture taken
Eating my shoes when Mommy & Daddy aren't looking ( they always catch me though and I giggle when they say "No No")
Things I don't like:
Wearing socks
Being on the change table too long, hurry up will ya
Most baby food... well except fruits or Peas & Carots they are nummy
People who ignore me when they walk by me in my stroller, the nerve of them... when they do this I make sure I get their attention by making loud noises which translate to "hey look at me, look at me" and when they do I always give them a big bright smile so they can tell me how cute I am.
Other things about me:
I am 18lbs & 28 inches tall
I get around mostly by creeping and rolling around the floor, I don't quite know how to crawl yet but I think I just about get the idea... anytime now
I can sit up for a long time on my own
Mommy puts my toy box on the floor and I can reach in and pull out my favorite toys
When I hear music I rock back and forth to the beat
Mommy & Daddy will hold me standing on their laps and I dance when they say "Dancey Dancey"
I also can sit down and then pull myself back up when Mommy & Daddy hold my hands
I always sleep through the night & I wake up happy each morning which for some reason amazes Mommy & Daddy
I get cranky mostly only when I am tired and need my nap
I'm going to be one years old on August 1st and I am going to have a big party and want everyone to come!
Bye for now....
Love Carly Ann Chadsey

Happy 8 months!
You woke up wet right through this rainy birthday but with the biggest smile on your face! I got you all washed up and changed and fed you your breakfast and are now looking through the photo album with Daddy.
Many changes have happened in your life since I've written here last. You are sitting up very well now and only fall over after trying to reach for a toy thats out of your reach. You catch yourself and don't bonk your head much now. You are getting very strong. You stand up on my lap and while holding my hands you rock back and forth and dance. Mommy sings 'dancie dancie' and you smile wide and dance some more. You also will sit down when mommy says sit down and stand up when I say stand up. Sometimes you give me a smoochie when you stand all the way up again. You love this game and will play it until you are too tired to stand up anymore. You creep really well while on your belly on the floor when your toy is out of reach and its something you really want. You lift one leg and push with your foot. Daddy said you almost went from your belly to sitting up yesterday, but got distracted and plopped back down again.
We got you weighed yesterday and you weight 18lbs 5oz! Mommy, Daddy and Angela played a guessing game before you got weighed to see who was closest. Mommy guessed 17lbs 9oz, Angela said 18lbs even and Daddy was the winner at 18lbs 2oz. I was surprised you put on so much weight since your needles a few weeks ago.
You sleep so good still and will go to bed with no fuss about 8-9 pm every night and on rare occasions you are awake when mommy gets home from work at 10pm. Its a nice surprise when you are up and wanting to cuddle with mommy. You are such a happy baby! Your favourite toys right now are your mirror which you go to bed with each day for naps and at night when you fall asleep. You really like to look at yourself and make funny faces. You still like the jumperoo but are tending to prefer to roll around on the floor with your small mountain of toys now and can get around pretty quick and keep us chasing you as you spot something farther and farther away. Another game you really like is to make silly faces at Daddy. You scrunch up your face and breathe funny like and make us all laugh. You mostly just make funny faces at Daddy though, but thats because he seems to really enjoy teaching you how to make them! HAHA!!!
We took you to the park for a picnic this past week when the weather was warmer and you played in the gravel for the first time. You sat and picked up the tiny rocks and let them fall between your fingers to the ground again. You were so enthralled with this that you didn't even try to put them in your mouth. Daddy took some pictures of you and you looked so sweet. I also put you on the slide for the first time, but your leg kept twisting around and you didn't like it much. We did get some pictures of you though. You really love the swing at the park too, but at this particular park there was no baby swing so you sat on our laps and swung that way. Daddy rides you on his neck sometimes now and you just love love this! You think you are on top of the world and we snapped a cute picture of you reaching for a tree branch. You like to pull Daddy's hair and eat it though, so your time on top of the world is shortlived. You sit in your stroller and are noticing the world around you so much more and will reach for things in the stores and sometimes will catch a sleeve of a shirt or something else close. You also love to pull off your shoes and socks and for some reason they seem to be pretty tasty. Im not sure why though.

Wow....
it's been awhile since mommy has written in your blog! Its been a very busy month since Ive been here last, not to mention the computer died.
You have grown so much this past month my chicka. So tall!! You wear size 12 month clothing still and wear size 2 shoes. Winter is almost over and mommy is looking forward to taking you outside more to try out those big girl shoes! We took you out the other day and you touched a tree while mommy explained to you what that was and what it felt like. You smiled and grunted your approval.
You were sick awhile after your shots on March 12th. You weighed 17lbs 12oz already. You didnt cry until the second shot which stung a bit. You ended up with a fever and a rash that turned into a bit of hives. Poor baby! You were so grumpy and kept us all busy with the many many poopie diapers and 'blowouts'. It was nice to see you feeling better after a week. We took you to the Dr. and he said you had a stomach virus.
You are sitting up better now, I think you could probably say that you officially sit up by yourself now, but not for that long before you fall over. Its hard to write down the exact time you sit as you do sit, but fall over quickly yet are now trying to catch yourself a bit more. You really enjoy your piano now and sit there and play us a nice tune in your bumbo.
We are still working hard to get you to say either mama or dada, but no such luck. Daddy does something pretty funny though and you copy him. He will tap his chest and say da da and you hit him back, then he says mama and you hit me twice too. You will know your syllables before you talk! You made mommy's heart just melt the other night Carly. I was holding you on my lap with your face close to mine and showing you dolly. Mommy gave dolly a kiss, then dolly gave mommy a kiss. Dolly gave Carly a kiss and mommy asked you for a kiss and you gave me the most precious kiss! Oh my heart just melted and I almost teared up! You give us kisses from time to time but are rather cheap with them haha! So its pretty special when you do. You were having tummy time with Daddy lastnight and honored him with FOUR kisses!
We are going to have a big birthday party for your number one this year. It will be in August of course so the weather will be nice and warm. Mommy wants to buy you a special dress for the occasion and have plans for family members to attend. We are giving them a ton of notice so we are really hoping they can all come. We already bought your birthday present already! We got you "Little Leaps" Its a game that hooks up to the TV and you push buttons to do different things, like make a birdie appear or a bunny jump. Things like that. Daddy hooked it up the night we bought it, but you are too young yet to figure it out. You just want to eat the buttons and bang on them. Its good for 9 months up to 36 months so you will have lots of good times with this game. You can also buy extra CD's for it as you grow.
You are sleeping very well for us still. There was a time there when you would freak out when we put you to bed as the world was boring in your crib so mommy put a few toys in there with you and a mirror which you love to look at. Thats because you are so beautiful!! You dont even fuss anymore and soon go to sleep. Grandpa and Grandma gave you a CD player and we bought a few CD's with classical music which lulls you to sleep quickly. We also have the one that tells a story and sings songs that Grandma bought for you when she went to Las Vegas. It has your name in the songs and you think thats pretty neat.
You still enjoy your sister time and love it when she plays with you on the floor with your mountain of toys. Sometimes you will honor her with kisses too! Seriously, we have to stop buying you toys as you have taken over the living room! There is your jumperoo at one end of the living room, the swing sits to the side, which you love to sit in and watch Treehouse from time to time. There is a big blanket on the floor with pillows all around to keep you safe where we lay you with some toys. You have your own drawer full of rattles and things and on top of the coffee table sits your bigger toys, like the piano and stuffies.
We are so blessed to be chosen to raise such a lovely beautiful little girl. Your personality is so genuine and you always have a smile for everyone! We are truely honored.
You have grown so much this past month my chicka. So tall!! You wear size 12 month clothing still and wear size 2 shoes. Winter is almost over and mommy is looking forward to taking you outside more to try out those big girl shoes! We took you out the other day and you touched a tree while mommy explained to you what that was and what it felt like. You smiled and grunted your approval.
You were sick awhile after your shots on March 12th. You weighed 17lbs 12oz already. You didnt cry until the second shot which stung a bit. You ended up with a fever and a rash that turned into a bit of hives. Poor baby! You were so grumpy and kept us all busy with the many many poopie diapers and 'blowouts'. It was nice to see you feeling better after a week. We took you to the Dr. and he said you had a stomach virus.
