Welcome!

Thanks for checking in on us. Karly Lorraine Stafford was born Dec 20, 2012 at 12:12 am in Reno, Nevada. Nine months before this moment, our lives changed forever. This blog is pictures and comments of our new life and fabulous new journey. Luckily, it's expected to learn this parenting stuff as you go!

First camping trip!

Packing for the trip, Karly got to sit by her big teddy from 
Shawn while playing with her new turtle from Kris and Allan's trip to Australia.
Thank you Friends!

We made it to Iron Gate just in time for it to be cold and windy!
The kiddos were pretty bundled up!

So we sat in the motorhome and held babies!
Parker sleeps a lot!


Karly likes to bully Parker out of her way. 
We'll have to put an end to that!!



The weather decided to play nice for Sunday! 
Here's Grandma Tammy with her new babies!


Loved seeing this little guy!

Makenna "waterskiing"

Much needed bath time! This was Karly's first time sitting in the tub 
at home and she loved it! So much easier to get her toys.

Memorial Weekend 2012

We drove to Montague to see Jesse's family. Our plans to go camping 
got postponed due to cold weather and sick babies! 
Hopefully next weekend will be better.

What happened to my baby that wouldn't take the plug?

Karly with her cousins!


Jesse being 'forced' to play games with us!

Weather was better Sunday so we got to spend the day at Iron Gate Lake
with Grandpa Tom and James and Makenna.
K didn't know what to think about that life jacket!


Happy girl! Can't wait to see Grandma next!

First miserable lizard of the year for the Wallace kiddos. 
Makenna always wants to keep them.

James determined to find more. 

Nice picnic lunch. Hopefully we will have a summer full of wonderful
weekends here. Just wish it was a little bit closer!

5 months old!

I love bath time and have figured out how to 
chew on the washcloths!

I don't have a great video yet but she can roll all  over 
and loves to be on the floor with toys!

Our first attempt at fresh baby food. So far she eats oatmeal, bananas, 
avocado and there are carrots in the freezer that we haven't tried yet.



And she'll eat whatever these fun things are!

I can sit up by myself for a couple minutes at a time. 
This time, I was watching Daddy play video games.

I got hydrangeas for Mothers Day; I have a wonderful husband!
And a plant from my MIL but I haven't seen her yet...

My shot of the solar eclipse, through Jesse's welding helmet!

5 months old, hooray!

Helping Mom with the garden and practicing with my new sippy cup!


Great new headbands from Aunt Tara! Absolutely can't wait to come up 
and see everyone. Hopefully Memorial Day will turn out great, fingers 
crossed the rain comes early!

I'm 4 months old!

Now that she can roll from her tummy, Karly spends some time on the floor 
with her toys everyday. She is very close to rolling from her back!


Jesse built me a garden (just realized I don't have a finished picture of it). 
I'll post one soon. Karly hung out outside with us while I pulled weeds. 
Hooray for no more weeds!


We went for a nice walk in the sunshine yesterday. 
Her hat is almost too small already. Andy, look at the green soccer fields!


Here are her 4 month pictures. She was chewing on the sticker. 
Guess it tasted good. Such a smiley girl!



I got this little jumper at the consignment sale (on the half off day!) 
So far she really likes it! Jesse just rolls his eyes that it's another big 
thing in the living room!
