What's New With The Carter Family

Having a girl is proving to be way too much fun! Especially in the shopping department. Don't get me wrong, I always loved getting clothes for Jem...but boys clothing doesn't quite have the same sparkle and shine that little girls clothes do! Take for example a recent trip to the mall, to buy some shirts for Brandon. We bought some shirts for him. But not before I plonked down $80 on two cute outfits for Finley LOL. Now that's something I would never have done when shopping for Jem. But the call of baby gap and the cute little pink things and denim things and co-ordinating things...well...it was too much for me to bear. I HAD to make some purchases! Look for yourself...I got this cute little shirt... ...to go with this adorable denim skirt! And then I fell in LOVE with this cowgirl style dress, matched with this versatile cardigan (don't you love how these words are just spewing out of my mouth LOL). I couldn't pass it up! Finley has basically been in sleepers for t...

Nunna Mary has arrived! Jem and Finley's grandma, my mom, has come all the way from Australia for a 2 month visit :) Yippee!!!!

That's right....with Jem at school, guess who is now the unfortunate subject of my pathological picture taking? Yep. Cute. E. Pie . Miss Finley. Here are two pictures I took this past week.. . Yes. It's such a tough life, that of a newborn. So much sleep, so little time. And uh, yeah. That's right. She knows which side her bread is buttered on ;)

I can hardly believe it....Finley is now ONE MONTH OLD! She's awake more often and she likes to look at your face for longer. She's looking more and more like Jem, though my mum swears she is the spitting image of me as a baby. I don't know, I don't really see it...

On Wednesday we received Finley's stroller in the mail (gotta love online ordering!) and within minutes I had it assembled and was ready to take it for a spin. Of course, as luck would have it, it started raining...and didn't stop LOL. I decided that we would postpone her first walk, and go on a day that was a little less wet. The very next day was cold, damp...but dry! Yes! We were going to take a walk in our neighborhood....we were no longer housebound :) It was so nice to be able to get out of the house....the sun peeked out a few times, but mostly I enjoyed the fresh air. Finley was all bundled up and warm, but she was sooo tiny in this huge stroller. I know that she is growing quickly and she will soon fill it up :) I anticipate many fun strolls outdoors in her new stroller! Big thanks to my parents for getting it for us!
