The Carpenter Family

Justin and I moved to Nevada in August 2005. We love it here. However we miss our family and friends back home. Our church here is great! We have been married for 7 years. We have one Daughter, Isabella who was born Oct 19 2006 and a son Caleb due in Feb of 2009! This blog is for our Family and Friends to catch up on how we are doing. What a great invention!

    6 months Old!




    Caleb turned 6 months old on the 17th of August. Yesterday he had his 6 month appointment and he weighted 18lbs and is 28 1/2 inches tall. He loves to explore and can't get enough of "new" things. He has been sitting for about a month now and that has opened up a whole new world! He loves to "chase" Bella around. His hair has naturally grown in a faux hawk but since it's long now I have to use hair gel! He is getting so big! He finally loves to eat baby food. His favorites are pears, blueberries, apples, bannas and sweetpotatoes. I made him carrots but he didn't like them. Maybe they weren't sweet enough. He loves sweetpotato and chicken. So I guess I will have another orange baby!

    Bella will be 3 years old in about a month and a half. Crazy! She is amazing. We adore her so much. She is so grown up. She talks all the time and loves to sing. Her favorite song is "Desert Song", which she calls her song. It used to be "Take it all". She loves to pray. And started praying for all our "owies". She help me clean up, loves to do everything herself. Including trying to get dressed. She does a pretty good job. We think she has an imaginary friend. We catch her occasionally saying "come on Max". Which I think is from the Nickeloden show Max and Ruby. It's pretty cute. Maybe Caleb will take the place of Max soon!

    We added another service on Saturday night's so that has been an adventure. Justin also starts school this month as well. He is getting a Bachelor's of Science in Human Services. Then he wants to go to Seminary. The next 3-4 years will be "exciting"!
