A Big Day For Carly

Carly has finally felt confident enough to really ride her bike- like further then one side of the drive way to the other! She has gone on a couple bike rides with her sisters around the block and feels like such a big kid now.

 She also has been losing teeth a lot. If any of you know me- I really dislike wiggley snaggley teeth. It grosses me out when the kids wiggle them and they just hang there. I am more of a if it wiggles, pull it out whether it's ready or not. And I don't do the pulling- my kids have asked some random people to pull their teeth. Christmas night one of our neighbors pulled one of Carly's 3 loose teeth. A couple days later I gave in and pulled one- cause it's just gross! Now she has one more loose one just hanging there... needing to be pulled!

I don't know what's worse the snaggle loose teeth or the growing in snaggle look! But as silly as Carly looks with all her holes in her mouth- I still think she's a pretty stinking cute girl!

I haven't posted much about her- is that cause she's a middle child?:) But Carly is our most energetic child. Also known as our boy we never had. But as energetic and crazy as she can be- she is such a girly girl. Any and all things pink, purple, frilly, she's all over it! She loves to play Barbies, dress up, dolls, and LOVES to do gymnastics and put on dance shows.

I can't get pictures of her in her tumbling class- but she has been doing so well. She is working so hard and is so close to learning how to do a back hand spring. She is a worrier- all my kids are! So she worries she will fall on her head and kind of holds back. But i know she's oh so close to it!

Another thing about Carly is she loves... herself! I know- I do get worried sometimes! Any opportunity to see herself and admire herself in the mirror- or if the camera is out she immediately strikes a pose.

 Christmas was so fun for her- she got so many matching outfits for her and her doll. She had to try each of them on and have me text the pictures (sorry the quality isn't great- they are off my phone) to her friend who also got her first American Girl doll. It was the one and only Sunday I let a child of mine take a doll to church. It was only Sacrament and with the matching dress- I just couldn't say no. Baylee also had to take hers- but in the middle of the sacrament we realized we forgot to turn hers off when it started talking VERY loudly!

 I love my Carly Bug- she keeps our house laughing- she has a great sense of humor. She doesn't like to see anyone sad, and tries really hard to not be the cause of the sadness.:) She has always had some spunk and we love it!!
