Smiles & Silly Faces

Here are a few cute photos of Karis that I took while trying to catch a smile! Who would have though it would be so hard to catch a baby smiling on camera?! As soon as I get the camera out she just stares at it mesmerized..so I had to work hard to get her attention back to me. She's about 6 1/2 weeks here.

Pool Time

We took Karis to the pool for the first time and had a blast. She seemed really relaxed in the water and didn't cry at all. We had to cut it short since the sun was setting and it started getting a little too chilly for her. I can't wait until she is 6 months and can have her first real swimming lessons!

Dunking her under water:

It's Blueberry Season!

A couple of weeks ago we went out to High Springs to a U-Pick Blueberry Farm to get some berries. WE ended up going at the perfect time that day...it poured right before we got there, we picked in breezy, overcast weather, and right after we weighed and paid for our berries another storm started rolling in. It was pouring by the time we were pulling out of the farm! It was my first time going to a u-pick (I have always wanted to go to one though) and I am hooked now! Not only is it a fun family event (Karis will have so much fun next year !) but you get to support your local farmers and get CHEAP, fresh fruit! I usually get my in-season produce at the farmers' markets, which is still pretty cheap and fresh, but it still doesn't compare to the price of pickin yourself. I think we ended up with 13 pounds of blueberries(yikes!) and I want to go back to get more in June. I usually freeze most of the berries so I can have them year round for smoothies, muffins, yogurt, jam, etc! Here are a couple of pics:
