Okay, this has nothing to do with Caralena, except that she wants Uncle Ryan to get better soon!

Caralena "scoots" to the wall where she practices pulling herself up. The crawl is not quite there, but so close.

Caralena first thing in the morning.

Look at me! Bobby stood me up against this wall! (Don't worry, he is just outside the frame of the photo, waiting to catch me if I fall!)

As usual, Auntie Kelly gets the best shots!

Modeling for the Mary Jane & Janey Baby web site.

This one's for everyone who says that Caralena seems to be so happy all the time...

I don't know why we even attempted to get a photo of eight babies. This is as good as it got.

Our new friend Teddy lives just down the street!

Addie, Jack and Caralena all stare at a balloon.

Maude's got a monkey on her back.

Caralena wears a cute preppy outfit from Auntie. (And people call her a boy all day. Sigh.)

Caralena is definitely a string bean, but her bathing suit showed off those chubby baby thighs!

Caralena in Florida this week. Almost ten months old...

CJ looking all earthy in her flowy tropical outfit. Just a preview of her spring collection.

Caralena was not into her sunglasses, which was too bad because they looked soooooo goooood!

Mama entertains her monkey girl while waiting for Cuban food. Caralena loved plantains, just like Mama!

Caralena and Papa swam a lot. Especially Papa, he did crazy laps!

Caralena empties Lise's wallet. (Lise was later unable to find any identification at the airport and had to go through special security. No joke.)

Lise and Caralena by the pool in sunny Florida!
