Patty Cake

A couple of months ago Malie learned how to play patty cake with her feet. It was my fault that she learned it this way, because I would do patty cake with her feet after diaper changes. So... I decided to teach her the right way.

Here she is a couple months ago.



Here she is now. (She does both now. It matters if she is sitting or laying.) Her younger cousin Chaplin is thinking about food! Isn't he the cutest chubber!



Here is her pouty face

New Moon Party

This was the 2nd annual Twilight party hosted by my sister-in-law Kelly. Her parties are so fun. We had Italian food (the Volturi are from Italy), which was so yummy. We did trivia, a shirt contest, new moon jewelry making, there were blood drinks, bloody cupcakes, everyone got a new moon soundtrack, and guess what Edward and Jacob were there! After the party everyone went to see the movie.

Who do I look better with? I think definitely McKay!

Sisters! Kaeli won the shirt contest! She photo-shopped herself in place of Bella. My shirt had a picture of McKay with photo-shopped sparkly skin and it said, "I like my men sparkly!" There were a ton of great shirts!

The girls that I work with!

Me, sis Kaeli, sis Dori, Shannon about to drink our strawberry blood drinks.
I picked type A negative. Yum!

This is the whole party!

Halloween Party!

This is what Malie will look like when she gets hair. Except it will be blonde. Although, I think she looks good in this color. Maybe I will let her dye it if she wants when she is 15.

Malie trying on my Halloween costume hat.

This is at my family's Halloween party. This Cardinal cheerleader outfit was the first thing McKay bought Malie. The day we found out she was a girl we went shopping and this is what McKay picked out. It fits her now, so we decided to have her wear it for Halloween. McKay and I are extreme Cardinal fans, so that we match Malie. (We are in real life too!)

Hands and Feet

Malie's favorite toys are her own hands and feet!

We went up to the Carling Cabin for the 24th of July! We went to the archery shoot at Sunrise Ski Resort. Malie went on her first ski lift! It was kind of scary holding on to a baby that high up!

Ouch!

Malie got her ears pierced on the 4th of July!  She didn't even cry with the first one. On the second one it got stuck and she did cry.  She doesn't usually cry for her shots either.  She is such a happy baby.

Too bad you can't see McKay's entire 4th of July outfit in this picture.  He had on this shirt with blue plaid shorts and red and white socks to his knees!  I was like, "Is that what you are wearing to the mall?" and he said yes because he is patriotic.  So I decided to join him by putting on some white shorts and red shoes to go with my blue shirt!

Now a rollie pollie

A NAME & A BLESSING

On Sunday, May 3rd our baby girl was given the name Malie Kay Carling along with a beautiful blessing given by her Father. McKay wore a tie with pink on it just for Malie! Malie is so lucky to have such a sweet Daddy!
