Caelyn Nicolette Osbourn

Sweet baby

Heaven has been your home now for three years. I wonder what it is like to be where you are.

Oh, give thanks to the Lord,

for he is good; his love and his

kindness go on forever.

1 Chronicles 16:34

We spent the day mostly at home. Visited Caelyn's grave and put rose petals down, Carless read a Bible verse out of Isaiah and honored Caelyn's life here on earth with and her eternal life in Heaven. I know she is better off. She is surrounded by many loved ones who have joined her and who were waiting on her in Heaven. That brings me great joy and comfort. Her Great Aunt Marty just joined her in Heaven...I couldn't think of a more deserving, devoted Christian...Marty, we know you made it to Heaven and you are holding and loving Caelyn and Bella in your arms. What a wonderful sight that must be!
We love you sweet baby Caelyn.

Oh, when a mother meets on high

The Babe she lost in infancy,

Hath she not then for pains and fears,

The day of woe, the watchful night,

For all her sorrow, all her tears,

An overpayment of delight?

-Robert Southey

Three years ago a baby was born. She was and is so special to us. Caelyn Nicolette will forever be loved. We will meet again baby girl and it will be an awesome reunion!

8 Months old!!!

Carlee pee pee's on the potty!

We got her a potty chair on the 3rd and she pees in it all the time!!

My beauty!

She is a silly one:)

8 Months old, I love her so!

Carlee is so smart! She played patty-cake for the first time on her 8 mo birthday, May 2nd. First birthday party for Anya her good friend who turned one was May 1st.
Weighs 20-8. Carlee's 1st Baseball game in AR with the Sprinkles. Started giving high fives to mommy and daddy on the 21st. Rolled over for the first time ont he 24th. Got Carlee a pool, she loves it! Had a very bad virus the last week in May, it lasted 2 weeks. Mommy and daddy also caught it. Very rough that virus, sorry baby girl. Had a temp for three days, runny nose, cough, congestion, couldn't sleep, diarrhea, lost about 1/2 a pound. Took to the ER on the 29th fearing an infection of some sort...still the virus. Missed Memorial Day family reunion at Wood Pecker's...:( Hopefully next year.

April 7 months old

April started out with a visit from Aunt Candy, Aunt Joyce, Jaden, Jenna, and Drew. We met at the Landing and enjoyed a nice lunch.

Happy Easter!
We celebrated Easter in AR with Shelby and Carless's family.

Carlee has been constipated, only has one bowl movement a week. This is a common side effect of her prevacid. Giving her Miralax and prune juice, hope it works!!

Sittin' Pretty at 6 Months!

Mommy's new hair cut!

Well, it has been a long while since I have posted. My goal is to post once a month at least, but that is a long shot for sure. So, this will be short and sweet. I post really for myself, most everbody keeps up with us on facebook, email or phone....so this is really for me! I would like to someday print out this blog for Carlee to keep.
Carlee sittin' in Grandpa's rocking chair! Such a sweetie!!!

Still waving "hi" and "bye", started making a cute little face with her nose crinkled and lips sticking out, with squinty eyes...will try to get a pick. Began saying "dada" and "mama" this month. Enjoys me reading to her. Played peek-a-boo on the 22 of March. Weighed 19lb 3oz and 27 3/4 inches long at doctor visit.


Getting ready for a bite. She is not much of an eater, but she sure does look like she is enjoying it!!

Sitting alone at 6 months! You go girl. Love you baby girl!!

Milestones and Birthdays

Carlee rolled from back to belly with a little help from mommy!!

We are so in Love with our baby girl!

Carlee and Grammy,
Don't they look alike!

The birthday girls!

Thirty years ago on February 3, 1980 a baby was born who would grow up with the most wonderful family and friends. She was blessed with a wonderful and adoring husband and then have three beautiful little girls. Two who are now in Heaven and one living her life with her mama and daddy. What a blessing to have her in our daily lives! This has been the most wonderful birthday ever and did I mention, I'm 30 years old. I feel it too! The wrinkles, the gray hair, the aching back! I'm not complaining, but I sure do feel thirty. What a strange age, it really does go by so fast. Carlee is 5 months old and doing so many new and exciting things!

Carlee 5 months old!

Carlee is growing so fast. She has been sitting in her jumperoo for about a month now, but just began really jumping and enjoying it. It is the cutest thing. She also rolled over the other day. Laughing and smiling are among her favorite things. She is mouthing everything! She enjoys books and cuddling with mommy and daddy. She sings to me and talks to us constantly telling stories. She likes to put whatever to her mouth and move it back and forth while making sound (we've done this with her, so she decided to do it herself, so cute). I love her little voice and how she wrinkles her eyebrows when telling a story, just like daddy...so serious.

Carlee is 4 Months Old!

My little baby bunny :)

Ms Carlee was 17lb 26in at her 4mo doctor apt. Yes, she is above the 100%, but nicely proportioned. So, looks like she is going to be taller than her mommy.

Carlee is sitting up with help, reaching and grabing, talking back and forth, and so much more. She hasn't rolled over yet, but it will soon come. She is teething also. Doctor says she can see the teeth, but it will be another couple weeks before they errupt. Well, it has been three wks now and they still haven't errupted. She is getting more and more irritable though.

Tummy Time

Ms Carlee is still on Prevacid 2 times a day, however the reflux itself hasn't improved. It is still a constant struggle for her. Sleeping is an issue, she is still very fussy and has episodes quite often that cause her to cry inconsolably. The reflux makes her cough a lot and she becomes congested at night especially. So, I decided to take her to a chiropractor. She had her first two adjustments this week. We haven't noticed any improvement in her mood or the amount of reflux, but I am optimistic that this will help her and look forward to the day we get to take her off her meds!

Carlee's first bite of cereal, she's not impressed.
