Ruby Rubes and Charlotte Too!: Charlotte

Charlotte turned 4 months old this week and she's the sweetest 4 month old that I know! She's so strong and curious and smart. She always is trying to stand up or sit up or roll over and always wants to know what's going on when she hears a noise. Not much phases her, she's used to having Ruby yell in her ear or shake her arms or bounce her bouncy seat violently, etc...I find myself constantly feeling guilty for not spending as much quality time down on the ground playing with Charlie but I guess that's probably pretty normal for child #2. Also, I suppose since I'm a mom, I have to feel guilty about something. :)

We left Charlie with a sitter for the first time this past weekend for an overnight and it went great! She was a perfect little angel and stayed right on schedule. She didn't seem to notice that we even left. So different than Ruby at this age. Separation anxiety had already set in pretty bad for Ruby by 4 months. Doug and I had a great night seeing HGTR rock out and it was so great to catch up with Stephen and the band.

Stephen had a day off on Monday and was able to come spend the day with us! We had such a great time and I think we really wore him out. Ruby had him up bright and early and just loved climbing on him and playing. We wish we could do that a whole lot more often. Miss you already, Uncle Stephen.

Daddy's been on a work trip this week so it's just the girls holding down the fort and we're having a pretty good week. We have Charlotte's 4 month dr. appt. on Friday, I'm so excited to see how much she's grown - but not excited for the shots. :(

We can't wait for you to come home daddy!! xoxo

Our girls.

Charlie loves chewing on Sophie the giraffe.

Such a happy girl.

You really can't take your eyes off of her for too long. She's almost out of her bouncy seat here. If you look closely you can see that she's standing up and almost out of the harness!
