Florida

Carissa had her first visit to Florida on Hutchinson Island, Jensen Beach and meeting Grandma and Grandpa Smith for the first time! She was great and did wonderful on the plane ride and the whole visit! She was there from February 19th-March 1st and we had wonderful sunny and over 80 degree weather every day! Carissa turned into a beach baby and loved it! We miss the sun already!

Here are just a few of the many pics from our trip:)

Even though Carissa couldn't go in the sun and pool yet we kept her shaded and had to try on her cute suit and cover up from Aunt Pauline for some pics:)

She is growing so fast and loves to smile, laugh and play now! And we have so much fun!

Love you baby girl! Happy 2 Months!

Carissa's Baptism

Carissa's baptism was on Sunday February 12th, 2012 at St.Joseph's Church. The same church Mommy and Daddy were married in almost 9 years ago! And Mommy made all of her sacraments at St.Joseph's too including her baptism!
It was a wonderfully blessed day with family and friends welcoming Carissa to her faith. She is such a blessing from God that we prayed for, for so long and now she is here! It was such a wonderful day!
Here are some of the special moments:)

Carissa was great when the water was poured over her head but cried after so Father tried to calm her:)

Another fun week!

Carissa has been growing and having another fun week! So much to do and explore! It was also Mommy's birthday on Wednesday and Mommy couldn't ask for a better present then her baby girl! It was the best birthday ever with her around! And Daddy treated Mommy extra special and made the day wonderful! Here are some pics of all the fun things we have been doing this week:)

We had fun visiting Babci & Dziedzie in Syracuse! Carissa is so good for the car ride and always falls asleep. Aunt Melissa came over to visit Carissa too:)

Our friends Matt & Jen and their son Mason came to visit! We had fun playing:)

We had some of our first real smiles at 5 weeks! Keep them coming Carissa, we love to see you smile:)

Mommy just thought this picture was too cute of Carissa stretching and relaxing. Her stretches and sneezes are just so adorable!

Had to share the cutest stretches ever on video.

Carissa loves hanging out with her Daddy:)

We've been starting to enjoy bathtime! All nice and clean:)

We had a fun visit with Aria Lynn and her Mommy Andrea. Aria is just 10 days older than Carissa. We got some cute pics of them smiling:)

It was also so nice out on January 31st, almost 60 degrees!! Mommy and Carissa went for her 1st walk outside along the Pittsford Erie Canal. So nice!

It was Mommy's birthday on Wednesday and Carissa & Daddy made it the best birthday yet! We love our baby girl!

Daddy took Mommy out to dinner so Carissa got to hang out with GG (Great Grandma) and Auntie and Aunt Susan. They were so excited to get some alone time with her! Mommy and Daddy missed Carissa but weren't gone long.
