Charlotte - Week 7

Charlotte continues to be such a sweetie, we're getting settled in a good routine and now we have scheduled feeding/wake and nap times which makes it much easier for us to plan our days. She continues to get up only once a night to eat, she's such a good baby! :) Knowing that this will be our last makes me cherish every moment, even getting up in the middle of the night. I'm happy to do it and love every second of it and I'm not anxiously awaiting the night she sleeps straight through - that will mean she's growing up and I just am loving this baby stage with her.

Charlotte loves the baby swing and that's where she takes most of her naps. Eventually I'll transition her to nap in her crib but I'm in no rush. She makes the sweetest groaning noises when she sleeps, it starts off really softly and then escalates to a really loud groan and sometimes goes on for 10-15 minutes. It's pretty hilarious.

Charlotte had a great first Halloween Trick-or-Treating with her big sister, just don't tell her that I ate all her chocolate. :) I just can't believe our baby will be 2 months old next week, time sure flies when you're having fun!

Our friend Beth is staying with us over the weekend and is being a great help. Doug and I got out for a date yesterday - it was so great to just sit and relax and TALK. We haven't had a full conversation in a long time!
