Relief
Finally, finally, finally! Carrigan has adjusted to the time difference and has settled in to a schedule. Last night was the first night she was happy during her bath and didn't scream for hours.
We didn't do much today. We played outside a little and ate lunch with Daddy in the room. The stroller got left in the car this morning, so when I went to breakfast, I had to hold her the whole time because I was all by myself. It was a little difficult, but she was good and didn't get too fussy.
She hasn't learned any new tricks yet, but she is starting to talk more. She smiles and laughs a little when I eat her up with kisses. She likes it a lot. She smiles at everyone when they talk to her, and they all think she is the greatest baby because she is generally quiet and happy when we go out in public.
We went to church yesterday and I didn't put her in the nursery because I didn't want to leave her with someone we didn't know. I got a chance to talk to some of the ladies in the nursery so maybe next Sunday we will take her there.
We are grilling pork chops out on the grill tonight. I'm also going to try to cook some baked potatoes on the grill. I've never done that so I tried to look up instructions on how to do that, but was not very successful. I think I can figure it out though.

It was a long day
Carrigan cried what seemed like all day yesterday. She has not been very happy. She also isn't sleeping very good at night anymore. Maybe she'll get better by the end of the week. I think with the time difference and trying to adjust to a new environment, it has been hard for her. Luke let me have the car yesterday morning while he went to class. He was supposed to get out at 12 for lunch but he ended up getting out at 11. He didn't have anyway to contact me, so I wasn't there to pick him up. He had to wait on me 40 mins. I felt so bad, but at least he didn't have to wait outside in the hot desert sun for that long.
I've been hanging out by the pool some. It's been fun. Yesterday the sun was out while I was out there and it was nice. Carrigan and I swam for a little while, then she got sleepy so I put her down for her nap and then swam some more. I took her pack'n play out there so she could get a good nap.
Last night for dinner I cooked tacos. They were delicious, but I did not get a chance to sit down and enjoy them. Carrigan was crying the whole time until she went to bed. She did not even like her bath like usual. Today she was much happier. She smiled a lot and we went for a walk outside and went out to eat with Luke for lunch. I finally got some batteries for my camera so we took some pictures. I even videoed her rolling over. It's a new thing and she's getting pretty good at it.

Arizona in August
We flew in to Arizona yesterday. We had a stop in Dallas and then flew in to Tucson. I think Carrigan inherited her Mommy's motion sickness. She threw up several times on the flight from Dallas to Tucson. Other than that, she's a good traveler. She impresses everyone on the plane. She's had a rough time adjusting to the 3 hour time difference. She slept pretty good last night, but we were up and ready to start our day at 4:50 AM.
She get's bored pretty quickly these days so I am constantly having to find new ways to entertain her. We went for many walks today because she loves to go outside...but there is not very many places I can go when we are outside because we are in a hotel. We went to the pool. She slept while I tried to catch some rays, but the sun was hiding behind the clouds when I finally got out there...oh well. It was pretty outside so I stayed out there for a couple of hours.
I was able to address the thank you notes for baby gifts I have been putting off for a while. I had good intentions to send them out in a timely manner, but that didn't happen. I tried to take pictures of Carrigan today so that everyone could keep up with how she is growing, but the batteries in my camera were dead. She wore a new outfit today. It was purple and cute! She is beginning to be able to wear 0-3 month size clothes now, so it's like she has a whole new wardrobe. She has so many clothes of that size. I hope she will be able to wear them all before she grows out of them..but she was in newborn size for nearly 5 months, so we'll see if she stays in this size that long.
Well, time to feed her some rice cereal and get her ready for bed.

Waiting...
So I decided to start actually posting to the blog I created. Carrigan is now 3 months old. She's still tiny compared to most babies her age, but I think she is big. She smiles and laughs at me now which is too cute. She is so sweet to cuddle with in the morning when she wakes up. It's my favorite time. Yesterday I made some pictures for her. I drew some lines on a piece of paper with a black marker and then some circles on another, then some black squares on another. The squares are her favorite. She stares at them forever and laughs and smiles at them the whole time. Who knew entertainment could be so cheap?
Luke has been out of town a lot with army stuff so I have had many opportunities to stay with his parents and my parents....the grandparents. It's all about the baby now...but that's ok. They love her so much. Luke comes back from annual training on Sunday. I'm so excited!
Carrigan and I went to the store today. She does not do very well in public. She cries a lot. I'm hoping she'll grow out of it though. She is napping right now. Let me tell you...it's so hard to get her to take a nap. She'll cry and cry and cry b/c she is tired, but she can't stay asleep if I lay her down. She naps in her swing while I play the sound of a hairdryer for the duration of her nap. It's so weird that a hairdryer is the only thing that keeps her calm enough for naps.
I'm at my parents house for the day and they are having some people in the neighborhood over for dinner tonight so I helped do some house work to get the place looking nice. Popsy...Paparazzi...Grandpa...whatever you want to call him took care of Carrigan while I cleaned and then watched her while I went back to the store to pick up some things for dinner tonight. We are having pork roast, cheesy mac n cheese (YUM!), green beans with potatoes and homemade pound cake. It's going to be so tasty.
Well, time to feed the baby...
