Disney

Carissa got to go back to Florida for a second time in 3 months! Mommy and Daddy had a business conference in Orlando right next to Sea World! At the conference they had a nursing moms room so we all got to go and have fun! There was no other nursing moms so we got the room all to ourselves and Daddy got to come in too! We also got to have some fun and went to Downtown Disney (since Carissa is still too little to go into the parks and downtown Disney is free:) and some of the hotels around Disney and a ride on the monorail and Disney bus. So Carissa got a taste of Disney already at 3 months! So much fun!

 Outside the Disney Princess Boutique! Carissa loved looking around at everything! We love the Baby Bjorn too for all our travels. So wonderful!

 Family pic with Pooh:) Mommy and Daddy had a pic taken here before Rissa was born and now we are so excited to add her to the picture!

Had to have a pic by the Disney Christmas since she is our Christmas Baby and the best Christmas present ever! We'll have to come back on one of her birthdays:)

 Having fun with Daddy at lunch at Fulton's Crabhouse in Downtown Disney!

 1st ride on a Disney bus!

 Checking out the Grand Floridian Hotel! So much to look at!

 Beautiful view at the Grand Floridian

 Our own special room at the business conference:) We had to get Carissa a Disney Bouncer and it was her favorite chair! She loved watching Pooh and Tigger and pulling on the honey teether toy on it.

 Watching the conference with Daddy:) Learning and growing!

 Hanging out backstage with our friend Steve Yager.

 Sleepy time at the conference. Carissa was so good! Everyone loved meeting her!

Having a morning bottle by the pool! So nice!

Even went for her first swim in this pool with Mommy and Daddy and loved it!

3 Months Old!

Happy 3 months to our sweet Carissa! I'm a little late but on March 27th Carissa turned 3 months! Time has flown by and she is just growing and getting cuter and cuter! She is full of smiles and love to giggle! She wakes up with a smile on her face every morning and is just so much fun! We just love her so much! Here is some of her 3 month pics!:)

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Carissa had a fun 1st St.Patrick's Day. She has a wee bit o Irish in her from her Dad's side. Great Grandma's family is from Ireland. So she got to wear her "Kiss Me I'm Irish" bib from Auntie. (Mommy is all Polish/Ukrainian so no Irish there but we had fun celebrating anyways and went over GG's (Great Grandma's) for some corn beef and cabbage:) It sure was yummy!
Here are some fun highlights from the day!

 Such a cute smiling pic on St.Patty's Day! Makes you want to say "When Irish Eyes are smiling:)

 Got my green sneakers on today!

 Hanging out with Daddy when we were visiting Pat & Karen and their boys Wyatt and Weston

Taking a nap with GG on St.Patty's Day!

Carissa's first St.Patrick's Day was lots of fun!

11 Weeks Old and having lots of fun!

Carissa will be 12 weeks old tomorrow and has been growing and changing so much and doing so many fun things that Mommy hasn't had a chance to update. So here is some of the highlights of what Carissa has been up to at 11 weeks old! She is such a joy and laughing smiling and "talking" all the time now!

 We went to Buffalo with Daddy when he was working and visited friends. Carissa got to meet Mommy & Daddy's Swim Coach from NU Mike who recruited both of us to Niagara which is where we met:)

 Carissa has found her hands and loves to fold them and play with them. She also loves her sneaker socks to go on jogs with Mommy in the jogger stroller:)

 Starting to like tummy time and getting so strong!

 We have had record temps in the 70's in March and starting going on lots of walks. Here we are by the Erie Canal in Pittsford. We love it there and also went for a walk with friends there after storytime in Pittsford at the Barnes and Nobles. We are starting to go there almost every Monday now at 10:30.

 We got out the jogger stroller from Grandma and Grandpa Z and love it! Carissa fell asleep on a run the other day!

 Carissa is now sitting up in her Bumbo chair and becoming such a big girl!

 Even starting to hold her own bottle:)

 Holding her head up strong during tummy time!

 Went to visit Babci and Dziedzie for the weekend and had our first overnight. She slept wonderful and all through the night (10 hours!) without getting up in the crib Babci set up!

 "Talking and saying by to Babci!

 We had a playdate in Buffalo with our new friend Jacob Skowronski, Mike and Ange's son born Feb 6th.

Got to meet our new friend Keira in Buffalo. Bill & Gina's new daughter who was born in the beginning of Feb.

 Got to visit our friend Aunt Marie when we were in Buffalo. We missed Matty but we will catch him next time!

 Carissa was very popular visiting Daddy at work in Buffalo!

 Mommy's kindergarten class loved having us visit! They were so excited to see her after spending so much time waiting for her to arrive when she was in Mrs.Smith's tummy:)

 Got to visit Grandma Z at work too! Everyone loves meeting you!

 Visit to Grandma Z's and had a swing on the chairlift in their back yard in the beautiful weather put Carissa right to sleep.

 Carissa's 1st walk at Grandma Z's at Big sky! So beautiful out in March:0)

Visiting Grandma Z

Having so much fun and loving life! We love you Carissa!

Uncle Steve Visits

Right after we got back from Florida Uncle Steve came to visit from Chicago. He was very excited to see Carissa since he only got to see her when she was just born and he was home for Christmas. He helped Mommy out and played with Carissa while Mommy unpacked all our Florida clothes. Then we got to visit Grandma Z at Bristol Mt. Here are some pics from the fun weekend!
