Ruby Rubes and Charlotte Too!: Charlotte - Week 8 (better late than never!)

Another great week! Beth was here for a few days last week to help us out - thanks Beth!! Ruby loved having her around and was infatuated with her purse, shoes and iPhone. Doug and I were able to get out to celebrate my birthday as well, which was wonderful.

Charlotte continues to grow so fast, she has her 2 month appointment on Monday and I can't wait to see how much she weighs and how much longer she's gotten. Not looking forward to the 4 shots she has to get though. :( Makes me tear up just thinking about it.

We are getting lots of big smiles now but I haven't been able to capture many because once the camera comes out I can't get her to smile. She's a silly girl and loves smiling at mommy and especially daddy. Ruby usually gets too close to her face to get a smile just yet but that will come. Oy. Charlie is also starting to talk to us, it's so cute to watch her get all excited after she makes a noise on purpose. She just loves it when I have a conversation with her and wait for her to respond. She gets so proud of herself. She's also loving standing now. Her legs are incredibly strong and she can keep her weight on them for a long time.

From 5ish to 9ish pm still remains to be a pretty fussy time for Charlie but we got Gripe Water the other day and it seems to really help settle her tummy. She's such a content little girl all day, it breaks my heart to see her in pain in the evening. Hopefully this will pass very soon.

Thinking about her next meal.
