Splish Splash She Was Taking A Bath

Karis absolutely loves bath time! She loves splashing and kicking her legs around in the water so I usually let her do that for a while before I actually wash her. It is so entertaining for me to watch and always gets me laughing! The only bad part is when bath time is over...she starts crying as soon as I take her out of the tub!

A cute video of her playing in the water! It's from my phone so not the greatest quality but blogger wouldn't upload the better video from the computer :(  It's still super cute though!

Week of Firsts and the Fourth

Karis had a pretty big week of development with a lot of firsts, her last week before she turned 3 months (where has the time gone?!). She has started "talking" all the time and her noises actually turned into some real vocal sounds, "Oh" and "Ah". I can't wait until she starts making more "real" sounds and communicating with us more. Karis has also rolled over from her tummy to her back about 8 times (ya, I might have been counting...)! It definitely started as a complete accident but now I see her actually learning how it works and trying it on purpose. She also got her first drool rash! Okay, Okay, that's not really anything she learned to do, but it's still a first! She has been drooling like crazy so I imagine teeth may start appearing in the next month or two (not looking forward to that!). The last thing she did for the first time this week was laugh! I didn't think anything could be better than a baby smiling...until she laughed! She has made sounds with a smile before but now it's definitely a laugh! Karis first laugh was at a ceiling fan (figures) then she laughed at me sneezing! She is starting to find more and more things funny. I absolutely love it :) 

Some (ok, lots, had to add some I couldn't post when our computer broke!) Karis pictures,not necessarily related to her firsts:

Yes, the ceiling fan really is this interesting!

For the Fourth of July weekend, we spent some time with family, had a nice lazy Sunday after church, then had some friends over for a 4th cookout before heading to the Alachua fireworks. It was a great (last) weekend before I had to head back to work after being off for maternity leave.

Church for the Fourth (notice the patriotic theme to our shirts?)
