She has perfected sitting up! She doesn't look wobbly anymore and when she "falls down" it's because she purposely is choosing to lay down.
She is working on her 8th tooth! It is going to break the surface any day now!
She can now go from laying down to sitting up on her own! I haven't been able to capture that on video yet but when I do I will show you.
We have been working really hard at getting her to hold her own bottle. Just when we think she's figured it out, she drops the bottle. She just has better things to do with her hands while she is eating. Well I finally decided to just hand her the bottle and figure it out herself. We captured it on the camera doing what she does best: being a couch potato while watching Dora!!
We took her to the beach for the first time! She really enjoyed the feel of the sand. She also got to visit the Hatfield Marine Science Center where she saw and touched sea creatures and other rocks. She also got a book, A Good Catch, signed by the author, Taylor Morrison! Here are a few pictures of our weekend in Newport, OR:
Carlie looking at an octopus.
Carlie having a blast feeling some petrified wood.
Carlie and Dada in front of a submarine.
Carlie sitting in the sand. The pacifier didn't stay in long, she had to make room for sand.

Carlie has decided that she wants to start crawling. She has not perfected the art of army crawling, because she gets too frustrated and just decides to roll. She has figured out how to maneuver her way around the living room through rolling. I have a video of Carlie "crawling" around the room. Notice a few times she attempts to get into the correct crawling position but gives up. It is a 4 minute video but well worth watching. Enjoy!!
